I don’t know what to say. If “we still need it to stop bad calls and mistakes”..... but not to call 2cm judgements because the technology is not accurate?The margin of error is because the technology itself must have a margin of error. We cant rely on the technology to get the extremely tight calls right and to be honest where is the advantage to the attacker in having a little toe offside etc. The offside law was bought in to stop goal hanging, and stop attackers having obvious advantages by behind the defensive line.
There was plenty of bad offside calls before VAR, we still need it to stop the bad calls and mistakes, but not to tell us someone was 2cm behind the defensive line that we are not sure is that accurate.
It is onside or offside.. If the technology shows 2cm offside then so be it. How can margin of error or common sense apply?
