Re: Camera Advice

If you can find a secondhand bridge camera, then that would be a great starter. They tend to have quite a good focal length on them which you will need for air shows.

Re: Cullen’s goal VAR check

Var is garbage & they’ve further devalued it by showing a made up cartoon version to try to prove something. Just why do they do that, they’ve got the still from the video yet then make up a fifa style image. Proves nothing.

As an ex-metrologist, I am fully aware of ‘uncertainty of measurement’ and how it limits accuracy. VAR regularly gives offside decisions that would never stand up to scrutiny. So, the only part of it that can be objective is flawed from the outset, the rest is just subjective.
