Is it even possible to remove subjectivity from the officiating? Words like ‘negligible’, ‘deliberate’ and ‘dangerous’ currently do a lot of the heavy lifting in the laws of the game, all of which are quantifiable and open to interpretation.
How could realistic technology, either now or in the future, help the officials with the black/white yes/no in/out decisions?
Constructive discussion only please.
It’s not possible for most rules to be made objective e.g. how can you have an objective rule for fouls without making the game non contact? As nice an idea as it is it’s just not possible. Off-sides are objective and I’m sure the technology will be ironed out in the next couple of years. But for any decision involving fouls the game would be better off getting rid of VAR, and accepting rules are subjective and the final say is with the ref. What’s the point in VAR if you can have two refs look at the same footage and arrive at a different decision.
