Oh that old chestnut

“My research found that the ball was kicked 132 milliseconds earlier than the participants perceived, which doesn’t sound like much, but in a fast-paced game it could be long enough for the players to be in a different location and therefore could potentially change the outcomes of offside.

And if my auntie had balls

Good review of the match from ACN which includes this great insight into why VAR is shit (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Sep 30, 11:18:47
- Presume VAR wouldn't have intervened with our third goal? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 30, 13:29:43
  - Indeed and they started with a throw in from our clearance (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 13:38:17
- The goal would have been ruled out in about 15 seconds (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 30, 12:54:47
  - But the handball would have taken 5 mins with the ref having to go to the monitor (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Sep 30, 13:19:17
  - they had goal line technology .... (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Sep 30, 13:00:43
    - Doesn't that only cover the actual goal? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 30, 13:03:41
      - Yeah i think so (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 13:09:30
      - its only used to decide if the ball is over the line (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Sep 30, 13:07:58
        
        Yes, but not for the second one, for some reason? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 30, 13:08:54
        
        Yeah that’s a point (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 13:18:53
        
        Maybe sky don't routinely receive the feed from those cameras? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 30, 13:21:22
  - The Derby fans go wild (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 13:00:13
    - 🤣 (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 30, 14:28:49
- You will tilt the resident VAR EXPERT TROLL (NCFC) - ParrotPuncher, Sep 30, 12:31:23
- I hate VAR, but that seems a very naive take on modern day football. (NCFC) - NxNW, Sep 30, 11:53:42
- Indeed..... (NCFC) - MORDENCANARY, Sep 30, 11:33:14
  - Posted this before but the whole point of offside is to stop goal-hanging (NCFC) - Old Man, Sep 30, 13:09:36
    - The line has to be drawn somewhere. There will always be some very close calls (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 30, 13:15:04
  - That one still makes me angry (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 30, 12:03:41
    - I was over it by full time (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 12:10:07
      - Without VAR that goal gets given. (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Sep 30, 12:18:41
        
        Today that goal gets given (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 12:25:54
        
        So you're admitting it was the wrong decision (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 30, 12:33:34
        
        No I’m saying it’s given today (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 12:40:26
        
        And why was the tolerance level brought in? (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 30, 12:59:21
        
        Well (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 13:05:42
        
        So the old system wrongly assumed it could achieve perfection (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 30, 13:42:53
        
        No like I said it’s only dumb fans who expect perfection (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 13:57:38
        
        So it was a great system giving the right decisions, but they changed it (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 30, 14:17:17
        
        Same as with laws such as handball etc (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 30, 15:18:57
