Rival watch

Actually I fart just like you!

 

Oh well, top 4's officially off the table

 

Another day another VAR ruling in Utds favour. Palace denied a clear penalty.

 

Not a clear and obvious error, but the second one is, apparently. Definitely not bent.

 

I really can't take much more of this bullshit , if it takes 2 mins to decide if a forwards little toe is onside or off

 

They really really want Utd in the CL.

 

I am old enough to remember when a forward got the benefit of the doubt. Commentators saying well he was an inch offside, but that would suggest they know how to isolate the 1000th of a second when the ball is passed.

 

Exactly. Offside is theoretically yes or no but there is uncertainty in the measurement both of the position and the instant of the pass so at the very least they should take some notice of that.

 

They're pretending it's scientific, but it's about as scientific as checking if a witch weighs the same as a duck. Their system has an inbuilt error percentage but they're not admitting it. Clearly it has as they don't have a 100% accurate way of putting their judging line on the screen in the first place. If they can't do that with certainty, then they can't judge anything with certainty against it, can they? I still haven't heard an actual explanation of how the first line is drawn, but I suspect there is human judgement in there somewhere, which means either human error, human bias or human corruption can be part of the input. Makes the output irrelevant doesn't it.

Poor Palace - never thought I'd say that - ManU can't even legitimately beat a team that's lost it's last five matches. They had a legitimate penalty turned down and why VAR are making up a reason why United score, so they give that instead.

Here's another stat I just heard on the radio. United have had SEVEN goals against them disallowed by VAR this season. Add that to all their penalties, and we don't even know how many penalties against them have been ruled out. Add all that together and we certainly get a team that deserves to be in the Champions League.

 

It`s the media`s and the authorities wet dream, Pool and United in the CL.

They don't need to pay us mate, we will play in the CL anytime

 

The bollocks chatted in the first video is fantastic.
"It should have been given as a penalty kick! But VAR can't overrule it cos it is not a clear and obvious error."

Errrrr...if it should have been a penalty but wasn't given then surely it is the very definition of a clear and obvious error

I hate Brendan Rodgers so seeing his side screw up a 16 pt lead for a CL place would be great but ffs at least make it a little less obvious that you are helping united

 

Exactly, if it’s too close to call then give the offensive player the doubt, var just seems an excuse for goals to be disallowed

 

Depending on which clubs the decision stands to affect, how does anybody know if these lines are being drawn accurately, like the decision making on the pitch it is open to all kind of abuse. We are dealing with human emotion and there is undoubtedly bias, unconscious or not, it can not be down to incompetence alone when there are certain clubs that always get the decisions in their favour.

 

Yeah, emotional computers draw the lines

 

Please explain exactly how the computer draws the line, how does the computer know where to draw it? How does this fit in with technological limitations like the frame rate of the pictures etc? How they have invented the only system on the planet with a zero tolerance (100% accuracy)?

 

Somebody is sat there operating a mouse.

 

Not somebody, a Man Utd fan last night.

 

"The two became entangled". Clearly boots him!
