It's taken from live feed of the game, logo in top right is a red S with yellow dot. You can see the line get moved in front of Son's foot to make sure he's "onside" It's not in the UK official highlights on YouTube I think. I wonder why? You might be able to see it with a4bn32B6DbqII .
Was offside by VAR the Atletico one?You got to see the penalty for atletico madrid
Also whatever the feck the ref saw in barcelona-valencia
Weird day
Considering the technology is there for goal line and whether a ball crosses the line or not (AND it's pretty instantaneous), you'd think they can sort something for offsides.
The Sterling one wasn't because it deflected off his own body (though we have seen those wrongly given already this season) but the Ings one was nailed on. No idea how they didn't give that one.
Because they calibrate it for goal line technology. Slightly more complicated for offsides as the line will always be on the last defender...
Agreed for the penalty. The “foul” was outside the box.
Interestingly, ref was not given the close=up footage we were
It’s only not a red card if they’re clearly trying to play the ball. Deliberately bringing a player down in that position will always be a red card. Though from my limited viewing of it, it looked incredibly soft.
Ah ok, thanks. It was incredibly soft and incredibly outside the box.
Interesting one the red card and penalty. Looks like a shirt tug outside the box and a dive inside it.
Just wondered what channel you took the screen shot of?
The absurdity of these lines summed up by the VAR official somehow deciding that the closest bit of Aurier's body is his RIGHT foot despite it being on the other side of his body to the goal. Even though he's drawing lines on Maddison's shoulder, it doesn't occur to him that Aurier's left shoulder is closer.
That's because Aurier isn't the one playing him offside. Going by the actual final image it's the other defender's shoulder, I think:The absurdity of these lines summed up by the VAR official somehow deciding that the closest bit of Aurier's body is his RIGHT foot despite it being on the other side of his body to the goal.

Exactly right. I can only assume the ref felt pressured to make a quick decision. But that really is giving him the benefit of the doubt, because it was an awful decision given he was able to watch it again.
I know, but they clearly spent ages drawing lines on Aurier first, and never once did they put them in the right place. If that doesn't send alarm bells at how this tech is being used then nothing will.That's because Aurier isn't the one playing him offside.

Yeah, that's nonsense. They used the right frame and when the line was at the Liverpool players foot (as opposed to dissecting it as in the picture you posted on the last page) Son was onside.
It's Super Sport "World of Champions" live feed of the game that got recorded.
Oh look VAR "helping" Spurs again today with a forensic arm offside call against Leicester and the usual suspects supporting VAR here...

Just like they "helped" Spurs by awarding Leicester a penalty.
Your whinge is all well and good but this one passes the eye test, in truth. It’s clearly (marginally) offside and the correct decision.

Maybe, but that's all we're doing, really, isn't it? Asking people to draw lines at random with an etch-a-sketch and then ruling goals out by millimetres. It isn't 'technology', it's guessing.
A few reasons - but the main one is it was outside the box, so VAR can't do anything regardless (because it can't give free kicks)
James should have fallen down, then and there, outside the box. We may have gotten a freekick. James wouldn't have got the yellow.
My take on this. Firstly it was 4-1 so not a critical decision. Second, the arm across was totally outside the box but James did full dive into the box, so saying, if you get a high arm block , a full forward sprawl looks like a dive.
I remember Rio doing something similar vs Arsenal (i think) Lundberg. Decisions that can be argued either way all night. I’m old school but that was part of why i loved the game. Now, VAR has centre stage.
Same, it's sad.
Yep, always a hesitation to celebrate now, the delay is too long.
I think he might just have skimmed the polish on the leather. But yeah, my first thought was penalty when I just caught the halftime highlights
Yet someone will win the ball and then accidentally smack a player after and it can be a red.
