Still think that ball was out

 

[Thommo2006]

Was just thinking, there is the technology to tell the ref the ball is over the line when it's a goal, is there sensors within the goal? If not wouldn't the same technology theoretically tell the ref if the whole ball was over the line at the by line?

It's impossible for the naked eye to judge where the spherics of the ball start and finish so it's always been a case of if the contact area of the ball is out then the ball is out of play.

It's up to VAR to prove that the spherics of the ball mean it hasn't left the field of play and thus far they haven't proved it. We need to see what the official who overruled the onfield officials saw.

Should be quite easy to produce these I imagine.

It’s not always been that case at all. For years and years it’s been the whole ball has to be over, it’s not a new thing for VAR.

What happens if the ball is in the air? How do you judge the contact area if there is no part of the ball contacting the ground.

All I can think, Roofe cutback - Kent fires it home. Last kick of the ball - goal stands.

Think the Roofe one was even further out boss. Rest easy

Still think that ball was out

It was a mile out.

The corruption comes from the referee disallowing the goal and saying the ball was out, only to get word in his earpiece from VAR that they are checking it, for VAR to then overrule the referee without a definitive reason to do so
