Think all of the VAR team took a night off last night when England were playing...Kane got rugby tackled twice last night and it was totally ignored. Thank god they won...and it's now being investigated why they didn't react on it..

This is good news

Every time I think its a penalty I shout var instead of penalty

[Nicky91]

VAR is rubbish for now, they had moments where they should've said something to the ref but they didn't

and why are the VAR team from a different country than the referee's and his team, you get language problems i guess it would be easier if they are all from the same country, then they can communicate better

It's hardly rubbish as it has already corrected several mistakes

They are making decisions on a visual though, so a common language is not necessary, thumbs up or down will do

[Crimson Dynamo]

i think we should have this for infractions

I want 3 of my "baiting" infractions looked at by a panel in slow mo

then reverse the decisions


and subsequently infracting Smithy who reported me, for simulation

Unless Kane gets Rugby tackled in the penalty area twice then it's ignored.

In a Russia World Cup no less.

Our relationship really must be sour if they won't let the Referees give us a penalty in a Football match.

[Alf]

As a rugby league fan I've been use to the video referee for years, rugby league was the innovators of it.

It's been in rugby league since 1996, and to this day it's still contraversial every game, it creates more arguments and talking points with the video ref than without it. So if it becomes a permanent feature, then get use to talking about it regularly.

They are testing semi-automated VAR at the Club World Cup.

Robot VAR offside disallows first goal at FIFA Club World Cup
play
4 Feb, 2022

FIFA's ground-breaking new limb-tracking VAR offside technology disallowed its first-ever goal at the Club World Cup on Thursday ahead of its roll out at the World Cup in Qatar later this year.

Alameri Zayed thought he had scored his second goal of the game in first-half stoppage time for Al-Jazira of the United Arab Emirates against AS Pirae of Tahiti in their first-round tie, but the VAR technology ruled the striker was marginally in front of defender Alvin Tehau. Al-Jazira were already 3-0 up at the time and went on to win 4-1.


The semi-automated system, which aims to massively reduce the time it takes to make an offside decision and provide clear visualisation for supporters, is in the final stage of live trials at the Club World Cup in the UAE. It has been extensively tested across several FIFA tournaments, including the Arab Cup in December.

It is hoped that the new graphics, which move the camera in line with the incident -- much like Hawk-eye's goal-line technology -- will remove much of the misunderstanding around offside decisions.


The VAR no longer manually places lines on the broadcaster's television pictures, with the new system using dedicated cameras and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Twelve cameras are installed under the stadium roof to track the players using up to 29 data points at 50 times per second. This is processed in real time and sent automatically to the VAR. It means most offside calls could be made in seconds rather than minutes.

The AI-based technology uses automated ball detection and creates three-dimensional models of a player's position instantly. It improves the accuracy of the kick point, another great area of controversy, using tracking data and sensors.

It is planned to replace the current offside technology being used by the Premier League, and all major domestic leagues, by the start of the 2023-24 season.

Alongside its use for VAR, the technology will be able to completely recreate a match as a virtual animation with only a few seconds' delay, allowing coaches, players and other support staff to watch a game or any specific incident from any vantage point.
