  • The biggest problem for me is that if we’re doing VAR for offsides then they need to have like a 5cm rule. As the amount of movement typically possible between frames is 5cm. And so that’s as precise as we can reasonably be. If someone is less than 5cm offsides then we don’t know if they were actually offisides or not. Especially in cases where the player was sprinting into space. Like the Garnacho goal ruled out earlier this season, it’s impossible to know if he was off. It was way too tight, goal was ruled on by on field officials then ruled off by a margin of error that we can’t even accurately measure. This also makes it so that we don’t have to wait as long for tight calls. And if it’s close on that 5cm region, just go with on field decision. It will never be perfect but looking to rule out goals all the time by over analyzing every little thing for 5 minutes is dumb.
