Lol - just a guy with a calculator! But for me this is the big flaw with VAR - when is the ball actually kicked?
Here is the image from last week. Everyone felt that even if it was offside the player was running onside and wasn’t impacting the play. My question though, is “where is the ball and when was it kicked”. And I bet the VAR team can’t tell you the answer to that second question... and if they cannot answer that question then they cannot make decisions on offside... Mind you it is like the VAR team are doing themselves out of a job at the moment! The decisions this weekend have been confounding and incredibly inconsistent... VAR has made the fan experience worse - and the game is played for the fans. Without the fans there is no business or revenue... > On 23 Feb 2020, at 10:34 pm, Roger Cooper <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Blimey Tim, in my day we didn’t let Mensa bods be members of NSWolves. > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of Tim Sheedy > Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2020 6:28 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Boo!
