They could do with some type of cameras that are birds eye view, that span the width of the pitch.

To be fair this does look very out. It's behind his thigh and you can see space between his thigh and post

 

[Maundie]

That aspect of VAR needs sorting. Better camera setups on the lines

Absolutely as that’s one area that you don’t need moving cameras as the lines are always in the same place

100% I thought this the other night with Newcastle’s offside goal.

There should be cameras on both sides and in the air so that there is always at least one clear view of ball.

Ridiculous that with all the money in football, they can’t get these things right.

Very out? You literally cant tell if it is or not.

[BaZ87]

But surely if the camera is exactly in line, and you can see the whole ball behind the goalposts, it's out? If you can't see the whole ball as it's blocked by the posts, it's in


The issue is not having two cameras which are bang in line. Why they don't just stick a camera on each corner flag I don't know - they do it with the stumps in cricket

You'd be looking through 2 sections of netting though and I've no idea the positioning of the keeper either.

I'm not sure why (I assume there's no technical reason) goalline tech isn't extended around the entirety of the pitch. Its not like PL clubs can't afford the cameras to do it.

 

[Robbo]

I reckon that was just in, but impossible to be sure.

Therefore stick to the on-field decision.

Curvature of the ball, marra.

Ok very out is pushing it, but both of his legs are out of play and it appears to be behind one of them (therefore is presumably out itself).

Whether it's enough to overturn the goal I'm not sure, but if I had to guess I'd say it had gone.

 

[CliffyG]

The still before that shot shows it right on the line. Then it moves further. I'd say it's relatively clear.

 

[manic111]

Curvature of the ball, marra.

But that doesn't make any sense? If the side of the ball closest to being in is hidden by his knee, and his knee looks out of the pitch, that part of the ball is surely also out?

It's not conclusive, but my feeling is it's probably out

 

[Maundie]

It did look out but as they cannot be 100% sure they cannot change the decision as it’s not clear and obvious, Arsenal will still win this, get one and they’ll run out comfortable winners

 

[manic111]

Martinelli looks at it tonight. The rest of them do not

 

[robfosters]

Labouring a bit tonight

 

[JamesH85]

That might help Arsenal.

 

[eurokage]

Labouring a bit tonight

Paquetá looked labouring tonight as well and looks like he's off.

 

[CliffyG]

Odegaard playing like we're 6 up. Stop dicking about with it and be more direct!

 

[nemtizz]

Cheering a player pulling his hammy

"guess", therefore right call by the officials
