British newspaper: The English Football Association is seeking to implement the “offside” system for the Qatar World Cup
The Sun newspaper revealed new details related to the issue of video technology, which has recently come under much criticism from English clubs due to several errors committed in some matches, especially against Liverpool and Tottenham before the international break.
In this context, the British newspaper “The Sun” published, on Friday, information that the English Football Association is studying the possibility of using the semi-automatic “offside” technology that was used in the 2022 World Cup held in Qatar, which achieved great success and facilitated the referees’ task on the field. .
The semi-automatic “offside” technique is considered new in football and was only applied in the recent 2022 World Cup, and has not been applied in any other league so far. It relies on creating offside lines and the passing point “automatically” after reviewing it via the usual “video” technology, on the other hand. The video room referee informs the main referee of the final automated decision, and therefore there is no need for the main referee to review the arbitration case via the screen afterwards to be sure, because it is decided automatically and electronically.
Applying the semi-automatic “offside” technology that was applied in the Qatar 2022 World Cup would reduce the percentage of error in calculating offside cases according to the estimates of the “human mind” of the video room referees, which are of course always vulnerable to committing natural human errors, and thus will reduce the percentage of errors committed such as those. It took place in the seventh round of the English Premier League this season.
