Absolutely ridiculous that the Premier League didn’t even have it ready to go for the start of this season, especially after all of these years of similar systems used successfully in other league and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar etc etc.Following the regular meeting of all 20 Premier League clubs on Thursday to discuss various issues, vote on certain matters.
As I say, watching all these Euro matches, instead of having some clown taking forever drawing dodgy lines and using a magnifying glass, the semi-automated offsides give an almost instant decision, the game swiftly restarts and I have seen few, if any, complaints/challenges to countless offside decisions made at this tournament using the semi-automated system.
Newcastle United fans and those of the other Premier League clubs, have become increasingly frustrated in particular, with the delays when it comes to calls on offside. ‘The semi-automated offside system to be used by the Premier League next season will harness artificial intelligence and “force fields” to identify when attackers are ahead of defenders.
The semi-automated system, which has been approved by Fifa, will replace the Hawk-Eye system, where lines are drawn manually on a screen by a VAR technician and can lead to delays of two minutes or more.
