General Football forum • Re: VAR and is there a way to fix it?

I'm really confused now. Is there, or is there not a small margin of error? The images of Florian Wirz's goal last week show that his foot is clearly a fraction ahead of the defender, but the officials overrule the "automated" VAR, with the final decision made by the bellends sat in Stockley Park drawing as many lines as necessary to give the goal. Then when it still showed he was offside, it was announced that there is a small margin of error allowed for situations like this.

Last night, Semenyo scores from a corner and VAR step in to look at it. Four minutes later, they are still looking at different angles and drawing lines in order to disallow the goal, stating that Haaland was in an offside position. From every angle, it was impossible to tell whether Haaland was even the tiniest fraction ahead, but they were absolutely determined to chalk the goal off, and did.

So my question is, does the "small margin of error" actually exist, or is this just another conveniently made up rule that applies only when PGMOL need to cover up their blatant corruption?
