will87 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 A question, those silly pictures they provide with the dotted lines drawn on, is that literally how they are working out whether it's offside, or is it more advanced than that and that's just a way of showing the viewers at home.

It's just what they show us at home. They use finer detailed lines to make the decision. Not that I think it makes a whole load of difference.

a m ole Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Is this a clear and obvious error? edit: I’m amazed that’s overturned. Edited April 11, 2021 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I just hate it so much. It's doing more to kill my enthusiasm for the game than years of Villa's crapness battling relegation under McLeish and Lambert ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Another absolute clusterfudge of an offside for West Brom. Utterly incompetent buffoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted April 12, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2021 That's the worst decision this season. The line is wrong, he's clearly onside. What's going on? How can people be paid to be 'experts' and make mistakes every single game day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2021 Stuck with the on field decision due to being unable to get a definitive angle from the cameras. Absolute farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 They've clearly just given the wrong player offside and made up some bollocks excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 We’ve come full circle since one of the incidents that helped push forward the idea of introducing VAR when Andre Mariner thought Kieran Gibbs was Oxlade-Chamberlain, it seems the technology doesn’t help improve ‘mistaken identity’ either.

PieFacE Posted April 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think at this point the only way VAR is going to work is if it's done automatically with 0 human involvement. The tech isn't there yet and it should be put into the bin until it is. At least if it's all done via some form of algorithm then it removes the stupid human error part to VAR which just makes the whole thing more frustrating.

The trouble with doing that is the AI has to look for both when a player is in an offside position and judge when they become ‘active’ to flag. The second is way, way harder for computers to do, the arguments have to be written by humans anyway and real life would keep finding new scenarios it hadn’t accounted for. Not sure we’ll ever see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I sometimes think just sacking all of the refs and operating on a system of compromise and concensus between the teams on the pitch would be more fruitful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
