But admittedly I'm not all that good You are already ahead of me on that front but I know there are automated vision inspection systems out there that do wonders with a video image.

The best camera angle would have been near the corner flag. Looked as clear as you like from the angle behind the goals to me. Never touched his arm, but can see why the linesman would have thought it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 I also struggled to see the hand ball and thought the guys arm was actually behind the line anyway and so if it did hit his arm the ball was already out of play. But I’ll take it !! Finally getting to see the good side of things evening out over time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Balls of Shire Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 On 8/21/2022 at 7:56 PM, GazzyB said: I thought Lundstram’s was a red. That type of foul that stops a breakaway is of course usually a yellow, but when he is miles away from the ball, has absolutely no intention of playing for the ball, and it’s knee height, that’s a red for me. I haven’t seen the Celtic game today but I’ve read online that none of the Celtic fouls merited a booking. I really don’t think refs are biased, just extremely incompetent. VAR will for sure help with that in this country. if he had sent the hibs boy off in first half, fair dues, that was actually a worse foul ....there is then 2 tackles in the ross county game which were definitely worse and dangerous , i know that isnt colums doing but there has to be some consensus in what merits a red....its the age old thing about consistency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
