The criticism against was in Norwegian football seriously flared up after Rosenborg recently lost the victory against Kristiansund after a controversial offside decision on the goal of Sverre Nypan after 95 minutes. Instead of going up to 2-0, the goal was canceled by Var, KBK attacked and eventually got a penalty kick that ended with equalization and 1-1. – I don’t know if I should cry or laugh. That’s the sickest thing I’ve been to, RBK player Sverre Nypan told TV 2 after the end of the match. Neither the TV viewers nor the audience saw the images that formed the basis for the offside adjustment, but three hours later, 23.06 in the evening, NFF published the “proof” that Nypan was in offside. This created a great debate and has had over half a million views on NFF’s own VAR account on X.-Hopeless and under any criticism the following day, Svein Oddvar Moen divided a new image to Dagbladet which he thought was more explanatory than the first. In the new picture, the situation is frozen at a time than the original. – Of course, it is completely hopeless and under any criticism. And they are rather violent with gasoline on the fire of anyone who thinks this system is not to be trusted, says news expert Kristoffer Løkberg.

Nypan is in front when that ball is played, he is in offside position. What is very exciting in that match is that you have an equal situation a little before, which is then reversed by was to give Rosenborg a correct goal, because it was not offside. But Nypan was offside in the situation in overtime, that’s just the way it is, says Moen. Request Trust: War chief Svein Oddvar Moen, here in conversation with HamKam coach Jakob Michelsen, asks people to have confidence in the system. Photo: Jan Kåre Ness / NTB-RBK leader Tore Berdal tells news that they have been told by NFF that NYPAN was offside with 7.5 centimeters. Do you have good enough equipment to measure precisely in half centimeters? – Yes, whether it was 7.5 centimeters, five or seven, I don’t really remember that. But it was marginal, yes. – But do you have good enough equipment to measure down half centimeters? – Yes, but when you set the points, the line that pops up will be either red or green. Green is onside, red is offside. It is quite accurate when you set the points. Then of course you can discuss where you put the point on your shoulder, whether you put it there or there. For the equipment, it measures very accurately, we do not draw these lines ourselves. Parodic account? In the evening after the match at Lerkendal, NFF’s VAR account of X was suddenly marked as a parodic account. Now the piston has been removed. Photo: Screenshot NFF / X / X.com – must have confidence in the system – but 7.5 cm. A player in full spurt runs around 8-9 meters per second. Aren’t you afraid that it’s easy to get a margin of error that can make Var intervene and cancel a goal that is actually onside? – But at the same time we stop the picture where the ball is played, and that’s the picture you put points from. It’s just the same other way too. When we made an offside to onside earlier in the match, it is using the same system and the same way. Everything is the same both ways. They use the same system all over the world, so we need to trust that the system is good. That is why NFF’s software upgrade is delayed before the season, NFF President Lise Klaveness stated that an important “software” update would come up that would reduce the time spent on offside situations, that the judges should now not have to draw the offside line themselves, but get a proposal based on Ki-technology. Klaveness referred to the measure as a cheap and important “software” update, emphasizing that it would be in place within the series start in the elite series. But according to VAR chief Svein Oddvar Moen, this is not yet in use. – What goes on Ki will hopefully come just before or right after the summer holidays. We have installed it at one VAR station inside the VAR center in Oslo, but it has not yet come to the other stations. So the one with Ki is not put into operation. But the “software” itself that goes on lines, triangles and stuff, it starts up now shortly. Last year we could spend 15 seconds starting it, now it will start in 3-4 seconds. So it goes very, very fast. -Lise Klaveness said that the new Ki-Software should be ready for the series start. What is the reason why the new KI solution is not used? – There is technology, and there is a lot that should be in place. But it is at full speed now, like a lot of other things. This is technology, it goes incredibly fast. So things get better and better and better year by year, says Moen. -Is not the situation at Lerkendal contradicted the VAR guidelines that were changed last year that states that one should rely on the judges’ decision by marginal offside decisions when the images do not give a clear answer? – If you read that change, it really went mostly on time spent. Then we received massive criticism that we spent too long to arrive at decisions. Then there were often complex situations with many players involved, and difficult to find the right image. The NYPAN situation is very open and easy to put points on. This one was offside, so it was taken. DISAPPOOR: Sverre Nypan was far down after 1-1 against Kristiansund. Photo: Ole Martin Wold / NTB – Now we get criticized for spending a shorter time – Nypan’s goal against KBK was scored after 94.56, but only 69 seconds later did the judge’s offside sign and canceled. Can the decisions be trusted when the margins are 7.5 centimeters, judged at a long distance with cameras and taken in such a short time? – You have to trust that the system that was a user is good and works fine. But it is fascinating, I think, that we get criticized when we spend too long. Now we get jaggu criticism when we get better and users shorter time as well. Then it is incredibly difficult. How long should we spend? What is okay for people? It becomes so negative that it is incredibly difficult to relate to. – Do you not think that people’s sense of justice is the main reason for this being a big talk, that you may not dare to trust that a completely combatant decision will be right when there are so many variables in games, in terms of point setting, camera equipment, technology and that the decision was made in such a short time? – I just have to say that. I think it’s amazing that people get involved, care and interested in football. Then at some point we have to trust that the system is good enough. Shared a new picture the next day – you shared a new picture the day after the match that was slightly different from the first one to be shared. What was the reason why the image you sent to Dagbladet was taken with a different so -called “Frame” than that of the day before? – It was not a new picture, after all, it is the same situation. Then it may be that we should take self -criticism for the first picture we sent out was too bad. But we want to have an openness, a transparency, that we get information out. – Then the question becomes. Is there 7.5 cm offside in the picture the judges used during the match or the picture that came the next day? – I have to check that, possibly. Now it has happened quite a bit after this, and I do not sit with all the pictures in front of me. But we must have confidence and confidence that this system makes the right decision when we set the points. The points are set out from the same situation. We have gone through it several times, the nypan is ahead and the decision was correct. – There are some who may be in the conspiratorial corner and think that you are moving the “front” in picture number two to get Nypan more in offside. What do you say to them? – People should be allowed to think what they want, but Nypan is in offside position. People have to move on. What I feel is completely wrong is that when we go the other way and turn an offside to onside, it is perfectly fine. It is an equally important decision, both. – Berdal says RBK has conveyed a clear expectation that concrete measures will be for improvement from the NFF, “because such as this, we cannot have it”. Does NFF do any new VAR measures after the situation at Lerkendal? – We take some steps after each series round, after each match. Everything we can do better, we do better. We develop all the way, such as Rosenborg and all other clubs do. We are constantly evolving, that’s what it’s all about. Do you want video judging (was) in the elite series? Yes No Do not know Show Result – Another situation that has received a lot of focus this year is the tackle from Brice Ambina on Nypan during the settlement between VIF and RBK at Easter. “Everyone” agreed that it should have been red, but the judge and the team team fell on yellow, and stuck on it after the match. But in an NFF meeting later in the evening, it was established that this should have been red. What do such situations do with confidence in Var and Norwegian judges? – I do not hope it does something about confidence in Norwegian judges, because there are assessments that take place continuously in a fight. Many people think it is a red card, and then there are some who think it is yellow too. But we totally agree that in that situation we should handle it differently. – How would you describe your overall experience of how well was in the elite series this season? – We have had individual situations that have been debated. At the same time, we have also had many good VAR interventions. What is a bit of a shame is that there is rarely the focus on the good. But we are constantly evolving and working every day to improve. It is not 100 percent flawless, because there are people involved. But there are undoubtedly fewer errors now than if we had not had. This decision is the VAR boss most satisfied with Photo: Trond R. Teigen / NTB-the optimal is when the judges deliver top performance on the field and were not need to seize one. But we have had a lot of good VAR interventions. If you take the Strømsgodset against Brann, where Brann got a penalty kick without any contact. On the field, most people will think that it is a penalty, but when you analyze the pictures, you see that it is a very good intervention of VAR. But we will be better and better, the judges will be safer and safer, says Svein Oddvar Moen to news. -Do you see any difference in VAR-use this year, versus last year? – No, we don’t. But we get more and more experience and get used to the tool more and more. So this will be better and better. We develop all the way, so it’s exciting. -The VAR case created a lot of debate before the thing, but was still continued. How do you experience the tone of the debate this season? – I think it is great that we discuss and that people have opinions about Norwegian football. Was in a way helping to protect football. And that’s what is important. That football gets the right winners, that we get the right decisions. But it can be done wrong, and you have to accept that.
