Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [1st - 2nd January 2020]

Ok, so you use a margin of error, we spend the exact same amount of time measuring whether they're 5cm (or whatever the margin is) on or offside and then we end up with a decisions that is much more likely to be wrong than just trusting the initial hawkeye decision. Where's the benefit? We're wasting the same time, supporters are left getting frustrated, not knowing what's going on and whether they can celebrate and we're getting less correct decisions.
The overall margin of error is a system error that's calculated based on the accumulation of all the errors in the measurement - the decision on when the ball is kicked, the accuracy of the line system and cameras and the accuracy of decision on lining up with body parts. All that can be worked out before hand and built into the computer itself.

If the system then comes back with a player being offside by a value smaller than that previously calculated margin of error then it can't confidently state he's offside, so it shouldn't give them.

If this is how the system works at the moment then great, but I don't believe for a second it does.
 
I’d be down for the lines being of x thickness and if they overlap it is goal. Allows for margin of error, attacker advantage and still a hard cut off.
 
Sigh Brighton manage to nab a draw against Chelsea where we couldn’t manage to get one against them last week :/.

I’m so hoping we can get a result against Utd but with the amount of defensive injuries we have at the moment, it’s a vain hope.
 
Think Saints lucky not to give away the penalty there, looks to me like Stephens catches Alli as he tries to turn.

You can build in the margin of error but you still need to measure the initial line from which the margin of error is based on, exactly as you do now. There will be no change to how long the system takes to come up with it's decision, there will be no change in regards to supporters sat not knowing what's going on and whether they can celebrate. All you're doing is making your decision off a line that's been moved 5cm in one direction. The only difference is it's less likely to result in the correct decision.
 
Why on earth didn't VAR check for that rather obvious penalty on Ali?
It would have done while the game was on going and decided it wasn't clear and obvious so there was no need to announce the review to the crowd as there was no delay.

Accounting for the margin or error means it's more accurate as it means you are confident the decision is correct - that's a requirement of making a refereeing decision.

From the limited TV replays, it looks like the leg that kicked out at Ali was sufficiently impactful to move Ali's standing leg in the mud.
 
Every week i think 'I won't add Ings to the fantasy football, he surely won't score again' and yet again i've regretted it :p
