In many instances when they put up the lines to see if a toenail or nasal hair is offside, the image does not even have the ball in the same frame. How the hell are they to know exactly when the ball is released?

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread
That and the angles they show for the lines look completely different depending on said angle.
I still think that’s a red on Balbuena. The difference for me between that and Rudiger’s is that Rudi sees the challenge coming. Chillwell had his back to it. Rudi also takes it to the thigh whereas Chillwell takes it to the knee, top part of his lower leg. Had Chillwell’s right foot been planted that’s a broken leg.

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread
Feels like there are some simple changes that could be made to VAR to ensure it's better, sort of like the Dutch just making the lines thicker and having a margin of leeway, though that comes with its own set of issues of course.
Largely there is just not enough accountability with referees, I'd say that is the cause of many of the issues.Comment

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread
No idea. When I didn’t see his name I thought it was maybe like our hall of fame’s here where you have to be retired for ~5years. No Giggs either but in light of recent events...yeah.
