So far so good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It does work like that. FOV scanning and awareness are different from attention and focus, which happens after any single target is acquired. We cannot focus and attend to 2 targets simultaneously, which is the impossible task demanded of officials judging offside live. VAR tech can. Why would they have it if it weren’t superior to humans in this respect? The problem is VAR is in fact a victim of its own success, technical superiority to humans, and forensic fidelity. It is being applied pedantically to a law written for human eyes and subjectivity. The law needs revision. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you agree it is not simultaneous view. Unlike the still image of all key protagonists in the closest 1/50th second frame to the moment the ball was played. It’s physically and physiologically impossible for a single human to scan search and accurately shift visual focus and attention to a second subject in better than 1/50 second. In fact humans manage it in 70-175 ms. https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2193692 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All of that is true but it doesn’t alter the fact that one linesperson on the sideline cannot look at two things simultaneously: the attacker and the second last defender and also the player at the point of making the pass.

Ahem...Wolves decision now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes They should still use VAR to freeze the moment if it is close, but, crucially, then allow the referee to make the decision, viewing it pitch side, as to whether the attacker gained an unfair advantage or not. If a sensible change in the offside rule is required for that then so be it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pellegrini swap for Pochettino? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Always been a very dirty team. I Remember a game at the Dell in the late 70s/very early 80s: when Palace emerged after the halftime break from the tunnel, all four sides of the ground were chanting “animals! animals! animals!” at them, such had been their on-pitch violence in the first half.

Should take it from foot positions, not leading edges of extended bits of hand or arm. Pukki’s feet were about 20 cm behind the defender’s. Therefore He was stood behind the defender when the ball was played. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1-0 VAR offside pedantry is punishing creative, attacking teams I think. May at least partly explain the lack lustre results of a lot of flair teams this season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
