There is debate as it uses 50 frames per second (same as UHD) to capture picture. If a ball is played between frames and a run made similarly the margin for error can be as much 30cm given the speed the ball and attacker are moving at. That's a lot. It's not by any means definitive nor is it accurate enough to be drawing lines centimetres or millimetres apart to determine offside. Although I'm glad it stopped Chelsea from possibly winning today!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

The best argument for VAR was that it would stop endless arguments about refereeing decisions. The actual result of VAR has been even more endless arguments about refereeing decisions.

Leicester got the league, which was obviously the best achievement of those 3 clubs in that time. 1 FA Cup, Once in CL, with likely a second to come now.
Arsenal have won 4 FA cups recently, finished 2nd, been in a Europa league final and 2 semi finals.
Spurs have won nothing since 2008, but been in the Champions league many times, including a run to the final.
In terms of history and overall achievement, Arsenal are at worst the 4th best club in England, probably 3rd depending on how you value Chelseas 1 european cup vs Arsenals many more league titles. They are a much bigger and more successful club than Leicester, despite some very poor years now (still winning twice as many major trophies as Leicester since 2014). Arsenal no doubt need a big rebuild but there is some real top young players there, Smith Rowe, Saliba, Saka, Martinelli, Tierney, Gabriel who could form the core of a good side. Partey being fit all season would massively help as well. There has been some reports they are after some good players, with money being available to go after them because a lot of deadwood such as Ozil, Sokratis, Luiz will be off the wage bill, and rumors of them moving on Xhaka, Bellerin, Lacazette, Nketiah, Guendouzi. Big IF, but if they can do that, then they will start to move forward a bit. They could easily get worse, though.
Spurs are probably still a bigger club, but with their stadium debt, declinding squad and star players being rumoured to leave, they could drop off. They don't really have than many good young players making waves, and are struggling to find a manager. I'd say Leicester will be in a better position than them for the next few years, but again, you never know. Spurs rose by having a solid squad with 1 or 2 real stars. It could happen again.
Leicesters story is great. Really no point wasting time comparing them to others. A great achievement to win the league, and an FA Cup. They aren't suddenly a superpower, though.

I just watched the game this morning at work. Thought the end when the final whistle went was immense, the passion, relief, tears, the fans back into football, everything I or maybe we have all felt the past 16 or so months, all there to see, for me, it certainly was a great moment. I hope we all can experience that next week when/if we lift the cup.

It strikes me as absurd that folk would have preferred to have knowingly allowed an offside goal to have stopped Leicester winning the FA Cup for the sake of a couple of minutes checking.
VAR brings its own drama. Which is worse, being denied a goal which was shown by the technology to have been illegitimate, or losing to an illegitimate goal?
For me, there's no argument. The latter example is worse by a stretch.

Haven't seen a team that happy at the final whistle when winning a trophy for a long time, probably since us in 2016. Lets hope we see that amount of joy from the players at full time on Saturday.
