Something that they just mentioned on the tv (which I was unaware of) is that VAR can only look at images at full speed. Does anyone know if that’s correct?
they will receive a stream from inside the stadium, which is made up of the view from a whole host of cameras – including slow motion ones – which the referees can flick between.
I'm sure we saw one review that the ref went to look at and it was played to him in slow motion, and the comms said we were seeing what he was being shown.
Slow motion replays are mainly used for factual situations, for example, to identify the point of contact of a physical offence or the position of an offence. Normal speed is used for subjective judgments, for example, the intensity of an offence or to determine if a handball was deliberate.

Seems unlikely, given how they look at offside.
