Agreed. The actual percentages are noise. The fact it's *not* 100% is the issue.

Rubbish. In the post above your reply there's an example of the offside from our game where the still, with the lines drawn, has the ball as a blur rather than the foot striking it. Burn was "probably" offside. And by that I mean about 90% off / 10% on. But that's enough doubt for it to be...

Indeed. I can't remember if it was this thread or the other one I mentioned it on but the ball has already moved and the offside is marginal - one leg belonging to a very lanky geezer.

Firstly, keep goal line tech. That's "good" VAR / technology and indisputable and will give the "right" result. But unless the rest of it can be tweaked to adjudicate on matters of fact, rather than opinion, then all you've got is another :tosser: in the black, only watching a narrower angle on...

I wouldn't say for or against. For if it finds a lost child or catches toads that have stuck some poor bloke's business up whilst terrifying him. Against if it is used as a 1984 style catch all to restrict freedom and justify binning off police on the ground. All technology has pros and cons...

I get it - you're speaking in the voice of us naughty funsters who'd rather have a bad, quick, human decision to debate in the pub than an accurate to the point of ridiculousness, slow, technology based decision. I'm a Luddite :kiss: But the analogy was poor for the reasons I stated - VAR is...

Also, given their different business model, their VC money and the way they are getting their journalists to push the site I would expect The Athletic in particular to be quite litigious. Only a hunch but I'm not sure why you'd go subscription only and then not protect your content. So surely...

No he isn't. As a general warning anything we see that is fully copied and pasted will be snipped.

Sorry that this is a) The Mail and b) written by an anti-VAR journalist but if you can bring yourself to read it the technology could be out by as much as 14 inches (or about one sixth of a Dan Burn) when it comes to offside. The still briefly shown on MotD was after the ball had been kicked...

Well, here's a page full of links that would suggest it is indeed a contrroversy that is being discussed.... https://www.google.com/search?q=VAR&rlz=1C1GCEU_en-GBGB839GB839&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjM4qL4747kAhXbRxUIHbTdDgkQ_AUIESgB&biw=1366&bih=613 Probably the most worrying of...

Why? He's saying drink driving is a BAD thing :ffsparr:

I'm not sure you understand the word "analogy"

Indeed. Sorry my friend, this is a terrible analogy. Quite apart from the fact it's a bit crass VAR is much more analogous to CCTV or speed cameras in this instance. And having CCTV does not mean you should automatically change the amount of alcohol allowed in someone's blood stream when they...

Yeah, we defintely can't have human beings making money. Luckily writers, photographers and bloggers are now allowed to trade the exposure they get from working for free for sausages at the CoOp and I've heard that if you ask Paul Barber nicely he'll let you pay in magic beans next time you want...
