The Premier League is set to make further changes to their implementation of the offside rule and use of the Video Assistant Referee. That's because, according to the Times, the league is set to adopt the new semi-automated offside system going into next season.
The report claims that nine teams have already got the infrastructure for the implementation of the rule, though the vote on whether this will go through is set to take place after the World Cup. While there is yet to be an outcome for the vote, there is an expectation that it will be passed, with the offside change seen as an improvement on the current rule.
As of now though, officials are drawing lines for players to demonstrate who is offside or onside in one phase of play when doing any given check. The manual drawing of these positions has seen plenty of criticism, especially in very marginal offside calls.
