And, I think it isn’t bollocks....

The reason being that I think Hawkeye works by having multiple cameras looking at the same thing from different points.

Therefore although one camera was not obstructed, and that showed the ball over the line, that isn’t how Hawkeye operates.

That’s where VAR should come in.

    - Yes that’s the split second it looked over (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jun 18, 09:14:47
      - But now we question if those 9000 decisions were correct? (n/m) (NCFC) - Kar1, Jun 18, 10:48:43
        
        They were correct (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jun 18, 11:11:06
  - Have to say I agree there - it would be a ballsy VAR to go against it (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jun 18, 08:59:35
    - Presumably they need a better error reporting system that goes to the VAR (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jun 18, 09:01:22
      - Yeah we should have seen the virtual replay (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jun 18, 09:04:26
        
        how would they do that if the cameras can't see the ball? (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Jun 18, 10:13:10

  - They have said it wasn't working - all cameras were obscured in that scenario apparently (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jun 18, 08:57:07
    - Which is b**locks since there are plenty of camera angles available. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 18, 10:22:41
      - And, I think it isn’t bollocks.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 18, 10:31:38

        Don;t disagree. Not having a go at hawkeye. the problem here was VAR not (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 18, 10:43:29
        
        That's not how you statistically calculate error rate. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Jun 18, 10:43:23
        
        Who said it was? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 18, 11:02:49
        
        You miss the point but that's fine. We can agree to differ. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Jun 18, 12:00:22
        
        That's not the correct context. (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Jun 18, 10:37:18
        
        It is the correct context.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 18, 10:39:32
