How do they know the precise moment the ball was kicked? That's right. They don't.

I genuinely don’t think that’s true. It’s nowhere near clear enough that fans would have felt aggrieved pre-VAR. Pretty much everyone would have deemed that roughly level and accepted it as annoying but one of those things.

Get out of your entrentched views for a second. to me, that looks clear, you can see his foot over the red line that ends and the defenders foot, which makes it clear to me he is offside.

VAR is not going anywhere unfortunately. however we now find ourselves in a position with offside similar to that of the second amendment in the USA whereby the law has become so far removed from the original context for which it was intended and there’s no one consensus on what needs to be done about it
Jeez...I'l say nothing further.

Same as Emi Martinez last week for Villa. Yellow cards issued in the game are not carried over into the penalty kicks.
You realise that red line isn’t actually on the pitch and hardly any linesmen over the previous God knows how many decades would have flagged for it?

Because yellows picked up during 90 mins / extra time do not carry over into the penalty shoot out. They start with a clean slate.
Oh please.
That's is the exact decision why we have VAR now.
Talkspite, 606, a thousand and one yards of back page news print and a million hours of podcasting would have been devoted to that one decision, for the next week.
"Big games can't be decided on the whim of a lino...".
Missed that, ta
To me they look dead level. And the tech can’t tell the exact moment the ball is kicked either. Scam.

Thats not a courtesy myself and many teenagers are given down the park. We get abused even if we get it right.

If you get booked in the match, it doesn't get carried over into the shootout. We all learned that this week during the Villa - Lille game where their keeper got booked again and everyone expected him to be sent off.
So for the disallowed Cov goal imagine no VAR - either
1. The lino doesn't put his flag up and the game flows on and Cov score and everyone knows immediately that a piece of classic FA history is made
or
2. The lino puts his flag up ,the ref blows and the move doesn't progress - everyone stops and comes back for the offside and the game goes to pens and the offside is never thought of or mentioned again
Which would you prefer - what we got today or either of the possibilities above ?

We’ll agree to disagree. VAR wasn’t brought in to rule out people being an inch offside. It was brought in to prevent goals like Thierry Henry’s infamous handball and has massively over-reached the original intention.

Same reason that villa Argie can't wasn't on Thursday, yellows in the match are wiped out in pens
Irrelevant.
