They also said on the radio, stated as if it was an accepted fact that everyone knows, that the VAR system uses AI to enhance and sharpen the image. Is that correct because I've never heard that mentioned before and adds more to the potential for a margin of error.

Cricket has umpires call because there are decisions that are too close to decide with the limitations of the technology so they don't overrule the decision on the field.

Same in NHL ice hockey. To overrule a call on the ice the video review has to show conclusive evidence.

This is how they get you. My divorce was hassle free until my ex saw a lawyer on her familes advise 'to check things over' and the lawyer decided she was due way more. Got legal advice myself but it was essentially you're in the right but its going to cost you £15K plus to fight it and even then...

the FA have too much time on their hands

Not sure that's enough. In other sports the rule for video replay is that there has to be conclusive evidence to overrule the decision on the pitch, wouldn't that be better than having someone doing their best to get lines in the right place?

The margin of error is around 15cm when you factor in frame rates, speed of players and speed on the ball. But you also can't reliably draw lines based on something in the air like a shoulder so that adds something else in. Which brings us back to clear and obvious. Nobody would have an issue...

given that the camera is not dead in line how do they account for the parallax angle when deciding if a shoulder makes someone onside of offside?

This, I've posted this so many times when VAR has been discussed on here and I don't know why the press won't pick up on it. The technology is simply not up to the job of making decisions that tight, the margin of error is significant. Other sports manage to factor this in, umpires call in...

I've worked with bands who have members absolutely fucked on all sorts of things and nobody in charge gives a shit as long as the money keeps rolling in.

while its not the best response I'm sure this would work. people turn up at shows and events all the time having left their tickets at home and go to the box office to get new ones.

Slightly surreal hearing Ten Hag talk about us being dangerous and them needing to play to their best to beat us!

Certainly happens at every gig. Blocks are kept back for guest list, press etc and released a few days before the show. Not uncommon you can buy a ticket on the day for a show that sold out in minutes.

Why do we even bother with PMQs if the PM is under zero obligation to take it seriously or answer questions?

We must have had them as far back as 2005 as we had those flexcards when the Ricoh opened where if you weren't a season ticket holder you could load your match ticket onto a card rather than be posted a paper one. Still got mine somewhere, might have a look for it and see if its the same number...

how would they even verify who is genuine and who isn't if they've never purchased a ticket?

The Photoshop on this :ROFLMAO:

Surely not because of yesterday. I can't get my head round someone not going to an FA Cup semi final at Wembley because of a piss poor performance in the league

If they started doing that the ground would be half empty every week
