Good news this
Premier League to introduce semi-automated offside technology next season | From the Autumn...
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
So Garnacho winner at Arsenal would have been onside after all?
Fecking finally
They weren't brave enough to introduce it with Klopp around
Premier League Statement
At a Premier League Shareholders’ meeting today, clubs unanimously agreed to the introduction of Semi-Automated Offside Technology.
"The new system will be used for the first time in the Premier League next season, and it is anticipated the technology will be ready to be introduced after one of the Autumn international breaks.
"The technology will provide quicker and consistent placement of the virtual offside line, based on optical player tracking, and will produce high-quality broadcast graphics to ensure an enhanced in-stadium and broadcast experience for supporters."

It also makes sense they introduce it in the autumn as the PL loves to be polemic and create headlines.
I predict on week 2 there will be a goal given that shouldn't have been.

This is good, it was great at the WC and makes a lot of sense. It's a bit weird for it to be introduced during the season and I feel like better planning could've ensured that the whole competition would be played with the same basic technology, but it's better than nothing!
And in the reverse fixture of that game, the other team having one disallowed because of that technology.
I'm not looking forward to this at all. We're going to see a return of the ridiculous mm offsides.
Return?
The offside calls in football matches I watch using the semi-automated system work so much faster and accurately.
Why is it only a semi? Why can't they have it fully developed?
Keep in mind it still isn't instant and you can still have checks taking up minutes
Great decision.
Yes, it will have miniscule offsides being called, but you have borderline decisions being called inevitably no matter where you shift the goalposts to. This just means it won't be humans drawing lines or tons of time spent analyzing and essentially guessing, it'll be quick and it'll be automated to show that it's offside. Can't complain much at that.

I don't really understand the proposal. How does it work exactly? The linesman has a device that tells them instantly if a player is off? Or is it only used in VAR reviews?
Can someone please explain me how does it work?
This is a major issue. They need to also tweak the law. Hawkeye style offsides will result in decisions were a player's fringe plays him offside.
Still wish they would only use boots for it and nothing else. Could be no arguments then.
Will it be semi-crap or fully crap like VAR?
This is going to be a disaster.
- Quality through ball played
- Attacker through on goal
- Gets excited and gets a boner
- Offside
- Chucked off the team
- Can't provide for family
- Becomes a prostitute
- Becomes addicted to drugs
- Has to commit crime to feed addiction
- Gets arrested
- Sentenced to life in prison
Should get a proper haircut then shouldn't they
Interference of play offsides are subjective so they would still require human intervention. This change mainly helps with the speed of decisions, which currently can be too long for offsides imo.
Just bin off Linos and get an automated robot up and down the line
Was it a disaster in the World Cup or Champions League? This isn’t a new technology, the premier league of course tried to be different and have realised how stupid it was.
If you want to use technology, decisions need to be as binary as possible. Offside is offside no matter the amount. If it isn’t, you might as well scrap the whole lot and go back to the linesman making the decision.
I think it will only be used in VAR reviews. I don't think it would be sophisticated enough to work effectively in real time.
Agreed, it's not the same as goal line technology as there are subjective offsides due to interference of play but for the vast majority of offsides, this can be determined quickly and easily by technology to determine if a player is offside or onside. Found it ridiculous that clubs rejected this technology previously but we're getting there in the end.
Other competitions around the world have successfully implemented technology like VAR and semi-automated offsides without much issues.
I'm convinced the PL/FA are engaged in weaponized incompetence around this
Yes, in the Argentina Saudi game. And reliance on it will have those kinds of incidents happening much more often. Much like VAR we will all be sick of this in a few years and wishing it never came.
Are you ok?
The whole Spurs-Liverpool goal debacle would have been avoid if they had voted for this last season. It would have also be interesting to see if Garnacho’s goal against Arsenal would’ve stood
No I was hit by a smooth criminal
I think it should be based on the players torso. If you used their boots, for example, then it all depends on where their foot happens to be during their running action. If they are running towards the goal, then their torso is only going forward, whereas at certain points in their stride, their foot might be ahead or behind the other player...if that makes sense.
I wouldn't mind that either to be honest - just make it uniform and base it on only one body part.
I swear you post about this once a week
I can’t remember it, but assuming it was a wrong decision, One mistake in 64 games at the World Cup? I’d like to see how many bad offside calls there are in your average Premier League month, not to mention the technology will improve.
I don’t think anyone watching the World Cup or champions league for the last two years has really given it a second thought during games, I certainly don’t. In fact the only thing I tend to think during the games is why can’t the premier league VAR make decisions this quickly. It’s not changing any laws, it’s simply getting more accurate and quicker decisions.
EtH keeps bringing it up in his press conferences to be fair as the catalyst for our poor season.I swear you post about this once a week
