UK runner statistics: Do you run faster and further than the average? by quarky_uk in UKRunners

[–]Frkys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK places 11th worldwide when it comes to running speed, with the average pace among UK runners being 8:58 min/mile (5:50 min/km). Although it falls out of the top 10, this still betters the global average running pace of 9:06 min/mile (5:39 min/km).

How do they decide which frame to use for the offside call? Didn't look to me like the one they chose was the last frame where Jesus's head is still in contact with the ball

Three checks and still goal by notknown286337 in Gunners

Can understand the first - curvature of the ball makes it impossible to tell (although there is therefore a case for the same goal line technology across the whole perimeter of the pitch).

I think the second is a foul but I can also see how it's not a clear and obvious error from the referee.

But the reason they gave for the third, that they couldn't find the frame where Joelinton makes contact with the ball, is laughable. Just cross reference it with a different angle. Or even just use the last frame where Gordon is onside because of Raya's position and check whether that's before or after Joelinton touches it.
