Aston Villa vs Liverpool - Premier League (19/20 - Game 11)

[Buzzo]

If that’s getting ruled out then I have no idea what they are looking for.

[RedAndWhite]

the Mk.1 eyeball can tell that Firminos line and the one for the Villa player are not parallel. surely they can link the two at least!!

[Fuzzy]

I hope this results in refs really cheating in our favor from now on. I don't give a ****. Preferably starting vs. City next week.

I get dropping lines vertically down from the most forward part of a player (even if in this case straight down wasn't that straight) but how is the finishing point, the one where it meets the angled line on the pitch, decided upon?

Exactly, I’d love to see a mathamagician expose the ‘system’ as being completely ludicrous back-of-a-fag-packet stuff.

[Norbs]

Or even one with the player kicking the ball in it.

It's almost as if the truth is being somewhat shielded from us. Same happened in the 2018 CL final that you couldn't buy a close up of Ramos thumping Karius for love nor money

Needs to be a solid block that is pulled square to the pitch at 90 degrees from horizontal. First thing that touches is closest to the goal. All this drawn line stuff is amateur

Oddly, Sky and the rest seem to have had the visual tech for years prior to VAR to clearly show off side. What's going on ffs

Yep, can’t be hard to get a grid overlay calibrated on-screen if you know the positions of the cameras and pitch dimensions, particularly as there’s so much money involved in the game. Would probably cost <10 million to develop, and maybe a million to install in each ground if you need calibration markers dotted about.

Or if that's too difficult, they need a rolling bank of 6 or so cameras covering a depth of 3m keeping up with play so that they can view everything square to play. What we're being treated to currently is woeful in a sport with so much financial backing.

Mate of mine was Sky camera crew for a long while, he said Sky had 30+ cameras at every PL game, whether it was being broadcast live or not

Its Atkinson hes clearly just looking to rule it out

You can actually see them editing it to make it try and fit the on field decision. This has to bring into disrepute the whole VAR system and whether it is fit for purpose. WHY are people editing anything?? that is human manipulation... it is mean to be all done by computer.

So at 38 secs, that thin black line horizontal along the screen is a guestimation of ground level based on where firmino's right foot is, giving a meeting point on the ground? I say right foot, cos obviously if it's his right armpit it has to line up with his right leg etc...there's a lot of guess work involved there, so in cases like that maybe the decision should be left with the onfield decision (in this case offside).

But it's not nice seeing him onside then suddenly offside, but that first line finishing point was halfway up his shin, so obviously wrong. Maybe the false perspective with Mings in front makes it look clearer than it really is, but given that we won, I'm now not that arsed!

I like the look of McGinn, maybe someone to keep an eye on?

No. The original ground like is taken directly down from his shoulder... which is onside. They dont like that decision so they delete the ground line and move it ahead of the yellow line. They then add the dotted line back but because the line has been manually moved it is now wonky and not 90 degrees.

The top and bottom of it is the system has generated the lines from where the most advanced part of his body is (that can play the ball)... they have then manipulated it.

How the **** do you control a football with an armpit without it touching your arm?
