VAR Thread

Offside offences using VAR should be judged using the body. Outstretched arms and feet shouldn’t come into it. Still offside in the above instance.

Arms aren't used.

That still won't help. Then you'll just get ones where people start debating 'where the leg starts'.

Would love to see semi automated offsides try and contend with old mate Mr McCreig.

Data fed into the offside calculation is absolute. Distance of all players to goal line. Distance of ball to goal line. Exact moment when ball is played (sensor in ball). This system doesn't use a replay to decide offside at all. This is all that is needed to determine offside with certainty. Human intervention only needed when deciding active / inactive / interfering with play etc.

This system is as accurate as goal line tech.

In the example you provide it was absolutely correct as semi auto offside had the distance to the goal line of all defenders and the attacking player. There's no might have been with this system - the attacking player was closer to the goal line than 1 or less opposition players.

I'm starting to think you are not a real person who can give responses to discussion questions - but you some kind of primitive bot.
