To be fair that wasn’t the lines that the refs back in the basement were using. I think that was due to BT cocking up. I understand people moaning about the time it takes for decisions. But the best solution is a challenge systems similar to tennis. Seems when VAR is being used that teams are going to appeal for any decision or the ref starts using it for no apparent reason. Each team gets 2 or 3 challenges per matches and they lose one if the challenge is a fail.
Also football really needs to just stop the clock when there is a stoppage or when the ball is out of play.
I heard that on the radio this morning
If that's the case then fair enough. But! I also read that the whole point of VAR was to overrule obvious incorrect decisions. A kneecap being offside is hardly an obvious mistake.
You are right that is supposed to be when VAR is used but I suppose the problem is the bloke watching the game on tv obviously thought it was offside in real time so he radioed the ref and said I need to review this as it looked offside to him. Then only on super slow mo, zooming in can he tell for certain that it was offside.
It’s that or the person watching the game was reviewing every offside decision, if that’s the case then that’s not supposed to be how it works.
For me when we started over analysing decisions that require a massive use of technology to come to a decision that’s when football was ruined. Well that and the repeated play acting and diving.
