The Premier League reveals plans for the announcements of VAR and semi-automatic offside in matches | Football news
The Premier League hopes that before the end of this season, he will introduce semi-automated offside technology technology (SAOT), and wants to see judges explaining VAR’s decisions at the audience stadium for top-notch matches until the beginning of next season.
It comes as the Premier League reveals a plan with six points to improve VAR, as it seeks to make a system more precise, faster and more transparent to fans.
However, after a delay in testing technology for the SAOT, the Premier League says he will wait until next season if he is not fully convinced that he is reliable or if she is too close to the end of this season.
After 23 matches, the Premier League claims that 100 percent of the offshore decisions in top flight was accurate. However, he wants to introduce the SAOT as soon as possible to speed up the procedure – without reducing this accuracy.
Tony Scholes, Chief Football Director of the Premier League, admitted that he was long concerned about the reliability of technology for semi -automated offsets for a long time – until the breakthrough just before Christmas.
“I have to admit, given the difficulties we had in the first few months of the season [with SAOT testing] I had difficult doubts about that. But progress has been achieved in the last four to six weeks has been significant. So, we believe that we will accept the best system and the most toughest system – without the need for chip in the ball.
“Efl has introduced him to Carabao Cup this year. We will monitor him. But the work of semi-automated tehology of offside does not change the integrity of the Offside Law. What works is more effective. Clearly, if clearly, if clear if it is clear , if clear, if clear, if clear, if clear if it is clear, if obvious, if clear, if obvious, we are not sure until the last two or three rounds of the match, I think you have arrived on pragmatic then The place where you just say it would not make sense to present it now.
The new statistics published by the Premier League shows that VAR has repeatedly intervened this season to this point (23 matches) compared to last season (70 times, compared to 61), but this is still less than one varnish intervention in each Three games. Also, statistics show that there were fewer varnishes (so far 13, compared to 20 to this stage last season).
According to a key panel with an incident, which analyzes all important decisions on the trial in each Premier League match, 66 of the 70 interventions were right, although nine times more than panels he felt that Var was supposed to intervene when it was not.
The KMI panel consists of three former players or managers, along with an expert from the Premier League and one from PGMOL.
According to the KMI board, when Var intervened, there were four specific mistakes to change the correct decision on the field. They identified the Premier League as:
- August 2024, Bournemouth vs Newcastle. Dango Ouattar’s stopping head for Bournemouth gave Judge David Coote on the field, but Var Tim Robinson decided to be “factual handball” and rejected him without allowing Coote to visit the play.
- October 2024, West Ham Vs Man Utd. Matthijs de Ligt was fined for offense at Danny Ings after intervention by VAR, but that should not be a punishment.
- November 2024, Everton VS Brentford. Christian Norgaard was sent to Goodison Park after the challenge of goalkeeper Everton Jordan Pickford while trying to score in a six -yard box. Var recommended that the judge on the Parliament of Chris Kavanagh should inspect the incident on the screen on the side of the field. Norgaard then showed straight red, although Brentford won his appeal.
- January 2025, Southampton vs Nottingham Forest. Chris Wood mistakenly thought he was mixing in the game and was given by offsid when Nikola Milenkovic scored a hit. The goal was turned off after the VAR intervention.
“We all focus on the mistakes made,” Scholes says. “We don’t remember so easily 66 correct interventions. So, I think it’s really important that we recognize it. I think we should also recognize that the number of WAR errors fell significantly from 20 to the 13th in the season before, 2022-23, that was 25 years.
“I say that because I think it’s important that it is absolutely fine to keep pushing these officers. We push them to be as good as they can. But it’s okay to admit the progress that is achieved.”
The new Premier League goals to improve your VAR are as follows:
- Improve the clarity around the high threshold for the VAR intervention and make a “judge call” part of the regular football dictionary.
- Reduce delays to the game, with the introduction of SAOT as soon as it is ready.
- Improve the fans’s experience, with clear judges announcements and reproduction and messages on large screens.
- Improve your VAR training to improve decisions.
- Improve transparency with regular messages for the emitters and fans through the PL Match Center center, while the Games in progress in Stockley Park.
- Develop better education and communication around your VAR for fans and anyone involved in the game.
The key goal of the Premier League is to allow the judge to explain the VAR decision as soon as possible to the crowds within the stadium. But Scholes says, how things stand, IFAB rules prevent it.
“Honestly, not good enough [VAR communication with supporters in stadiums]. None of us here in the league believes it is good enough, and we have to improve it for a long time. It limits us ifab. But we should improve it to the extent we are in a state and authorized to do so.
“Our intention is for the judge to announce the VAR’s decision in the middle of the field from the beginning of next season. Considering the further Var Comms, we will continue to lobby ifab to allow us to open as much as we can.”
Scholes continued that the duration of varnish intervention significantly reduced this season compared to the previous one. The average VAR check now lasts 40 seconds, while last season it was one minute and six seconds.
