The inside track on the football stories that matter
Keith Hackett fears the “hybrid” system being used by PGMOL to decide offside decisions isn’t working properly after the offside controversy in the 1-1 draw between Southampton and Brighton.that fans are being left “bemused” by long waiting times on “subjective” after a late winner was ruled out at the Amex on 29 November.
Russell Martin’s side then thought they had completed the turnaround seven minutes later, when Cameron Archer fired in from a ball across the face of goal. It was a decision that took almost four and a half minutes to come to, and ultimately denied Southampton what would have been a big three points in the battle to avoid relegation.Speaking about what happened, Hackett told“It took close to five minutes in the VAR room at Stockley Park to rule out a Southampton goal. The Southampton player who scored the ‘goal’ that was ruled out had come from an onside position.
“The PGMOL promised to introduce the semi-automated offside system that was used in the UEFA Championships and the World Cup. Using its own high speed cameras and a Chip in the Adidas ball the offside decisions reduced the delay in decisions by some 13 seconds on average.
