PL clubs unanimously agree to introduction of Semi-Automated Offside Technology

[SilverFox2]

It doesn’t really matter as long as it’s consistent, the sensor tracks inertia, and there’s never going to be a better measure of when a ball is hit then when its core moves. 500hz so 10 readings for every frame of camera footage.

Exactly my point it is important that in close calls where off side decision can change between touch of boot through ball compression to ball flight the time of actual impact is specified not left for a var type choice.

...The name is a bit of a misnomer - it’s a fully automatic system with human oversight....

Agreed, it is a bit misleading.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

A good move that will speed up the process and be more accurate.

 

[Protein Junkie]

An innovation jointly developed by Salford and Liverpool Universities.

 

[levets]

Can only be a good thing this. Will hopefully speed things up and mean fewer dubious offside decisions.

Enhanced stadium experience? Does this mean they’ll allow us to see the decision on screen?

Yes, with a 3D graphic similar to the one used by goal-line technology.

That’s an improvement then. I never understood why we never get to see the decision on screens now… but TV viewers do.

So once again a chance to change the offside law is missed. Make the law clear daylight and move on.

English Premier League clubs don’t get to change the laws of the game.

you'd have same argument but other way round
