I doubt they would have mentioned it, they probably would have just continued with their "good charitable works" that they tend not to mention, always. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not untrue. I understand why people dislike VAR but claiming it is somehow inaccurate is fundamentally false. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 2 minutes ago, Ric said: You'll be providing that link for all to see then? It's the 'That's not untrue' opening part I don't follow. And, yes, a link will follow, as I promised, for all to see, not just you. I'll reiterate, cameras taking film at 50fps are not accurate for recording whether a player is offside or not. There are cameras available nowadays that film at 1,000,000fps, the point I'm making is the technology used presently is insufficient. The best the human eye can usually manage is 60fps, therefore a 50fps camera, while allowing a human to re-watch an incident, isn't giving a more accurate view. It's just giving another opportunity to the referee(s). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Would there have this much controversy, or any come to think of it, if the goal that was disallowed was for Ross County or Kilmarnock? The answer is no, by the way. And the b*st*rds won the bloody match. What would be happening now if Motherwell had equalised in the last minute? Armageddon probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the first he has given against us," said Houston. "But then Dougie McDonald conspires to try to give a penalty against us.“ “"Then it transpires that it is not a penalty. What has happened there? Is it the momentum taking Hooper over the goalkeeper? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not disputing he made something up, I’m just saying the fact that he (wrongly) arrived at the right decision and the linesman knew it wasn’t a penalty but said nothing to him is often overlooked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
