The Master Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I don’t understand how this can be onside. The blue line is clearly the defender (you can tell by the colour of the dashes up to the arm). And onside should mean the attacker line turns green. Even if we take the approach of touching lines=onside, that still doesn’t explain the red line. I think there’s been a technological f**k-up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm being really thick and it's a camera angle trick, but shouldn't the lines be parallel with the 18 yard box too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, in the same way the cut of the grass to the right of the 18-yard line isn’t parallel to it. Parallel lines will always appear to converge when displayed in an image, with the effect amplified when not looking straight down them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 6 hours ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Well if Sportsound are saying they are wrong then they are clearly right. Seeing them back on Sky I think VAR got them right. i know they aren't supposed to do this but the linesman called both onside on VAR had both decisions essentially in line. And the camera set up doesn't seem to be able to do better than that. Some frustrating little things today. Liam Kelly once again falling to bits. Winning throw ins high up the park and immediately going back to the keeper 3 times. Surely part of the plan of trying to play in behind the fullback is winning throw ins and we should have a plan to attack from them instead of playing the ball backwards which is pointless because we weren't playing a possession game. Kettlewell leaving Slattery on was sort of baffling. He wasn't having a good game and was on a booking. Out of the four midfielders he was top of the list to be subbed. On the bright side the Slattery-Goss abomination of a midfield won't be playing in the next game. Nailed all your points here. See any one of those decisions, regardless of the teams playing, They were onside. I don't care if someone's left bollock is hanging over the "line". It only really matters for me when it's something daft like a yard that was somehow missed. Kettlewell was insanely naive leaving SLattery on. I don't think anyone else in FP thought he'd last the 90. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well explained, however I can't help but feel the quality of the cameras used looks shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the feed sent to VAR might only be HD (1080p). The biggest issue is the framerate. It's 50fps, which isn't fast enough to pinpoint exactly when the ball leaves the passer's foot(/head/etc.). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Not been active on this thread but a Charles for @bennett for the excellent Lobey Dosser reference. I think there’s also a couple of users on here who have appropriated characters from Bud Neill’s magnum opus. If you’ve not seen it, can I thoroughly recommend his adventures. Set in the immediate post WWII Glasgow-esque Wild West town of Calton Creek it still has a resonance and makes me laugh today. My copy has pride of place in the doonstairs lavvy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Just seen this on Sportscene, Sakala looked yards offside and Cantwell is an utter embarrassment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I don't know why/ how M'well fans came to call themselves dossers but it's a term that's been around for a long time. With some likes 'Jambos', 'Hiibbies' and 'cnuts' it's pretty obvious but not with 'dossers' and 'arabs'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard this bullshit too, I mean it probably is the "rule" but first I've heard of it and first I've seen where the attacker line is in front of the defenders but the arse is overlapping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Surely the 18 yard line should be used as a waypoint. The goal line is the baseline for being offside, the 6, 18, and halfway lines are all parallel with the goal line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
