Thanks. I wasn’t sure because offsides of a couple of mm have been given and the calculation was an order of magnitude different.

This study proves the camera frame rate, human error and camera positioning from ground to ground, when compounded, make it little better than the VAR Ref eyeballing it! Will be interesting if they improve the tech along the lines of Hawkeye or not. Maybe they will tweak the protocol to make it in favour of the attacking player? I live in hope!

1. The defender clipped the players foot before he got to the ball.
2. The defender didn’t get enough of the ball to deviate it far enough away from the attacker.
3. This happened back in March, you can tell it’s preseason when we are discussing VAR decisions made in a foreign league from 4 months ago
