Video Technology in Soccer/Football - Page 14 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Just think if VAR is introduced, it can't be biased towards offense or defense. And in a game like soccer with starts and stops and flowing play, where you're told to play until the whistle and not after it... no idea how that's possible

happy for them to automate objective stuff, eg did the ball cross the line? b/c it takes seconds to figure out and the answer is sent to the ref immediately

think offside calls could be automated in due time

dont really want subjective stuff, eg was there enough contact for this to be a penalty? to be reviewable cos it takes ages. as val said: ooh its a goal hurrah, oh wait wait we gotta let the video bloke figure out whether the attacking player shoved the defender to the ground zzz

Even offside can be so close that a replay is gonna be inconclusive a lot of the time anyway. Seems like a dumb waste without having much upside.

They overturned two calls on the field yesterday and the replay officially possibly got BOTH wrong.

First goal looked onside and the second goal looked very possibly off. Just utter bollocks.

sky have a still up within 10 seconds of contentious offside decisions which often show pretty conclusively whether the bloke was offside just with use of the naked eye. you could presumably ask a clever computer to have a little look and tell us the answer definitively and quickly

maybe the technology would take years to develop idk but it seems plausible to me

i mean they can figure out dimensions of hidden north korean nuclear bunkers from grainy black and white photos taken in outer space, surely they can figure out whether this bloke is ahead of that bloke

Well the problem is it still ends up being some blokes decision even with looking at replays bloke gonna bloke.

no blokes involved. you get a computer to do some image analysis and tell us whether this foot is ahead of this foot

ok i figured it out. chip in the ball, chip in players boots, use triangulation to figure out which foot was ahead of the other. change the rule so that you cant be offside due to your head

gimme my nobel prize

Thats some poor defending at the back giving that much space to the forward

It was Chicharito, therefore not worth guarding

i think you'll find that the automatic offside siren went off, therefore good defending

Anyway, you don't really even need chips in the ball. Chips in boot will be fine, ask for position of chips at time X (to be determined by bloke, when ball is contacted). Allow a foot of leeway in case the guy's foot is turned the other way round. Profit.

Or, I mean, they have glowing hockey pucks and Trackman for golf, tracking moving objects even without chips ain't that hard yo

na you need a reference point for triangulation purposes else all you're gonna get is the distance between the two boots

chips: 'five meters apart!'
me: 'so was it offside or what'
chips: 'i dunno but the boots were 5 meters apart'

you can use any reference point but i prefer ball because you can engineer it so ball knows it has been kicked and can record the necessary values at that exact moment. perfect accuracy
