What is your opinion on the semi-automated offside system?
The "ghost foot offside" by Lewa, the "offside" by Kounde yesterday makes me doubt the technology, the referees who make decisions based on this information, and the interpretation of the rules.
About the technology: 12 cameras in each stadium monitor the game with sensors (different light wavelengths). There is a sensor in the ball to determine the exact time of the kick. A 3D model is then created from this and shown to the VAR team.
I am not fundamentally against a technical solution as Barca, especially with their current style of play, also benefit a lot from precise offside decisions. But in my opinion, the VAR team must speak out against the system if it generates an image as was the case with Kounde
(The Picture is the official one from LaLiga to show its offside which drove me crazy because both player clearly touch the line.)
