The Premier League seeks to change the VAR sentences for offside
The Premier League is pushing for FIFA to allow a ‘margin of error’ on adjusted offside calls after a new number of controversies this season.
Mike Riley, director of PGMOL, is also seeking comment from the Dutch Football Association after the Eredivisie ignored FIFA’s zero-tolerance approach and instead adopted a 10-centimeter ‘linesman call’, Mail reports. .
The system sees the VAR judge offside using two 5cm lines and, if they touch, the final decision is left to the range officials.
Riley proposed a similar idea to the Premier League earlier this year but were later informed by FIFA that they would not support such an approach, after they took the reins of the IFAB law.
FIFA’s stance is that ‘offside is offside’ but much controversy remains surrounding incidents, such as Jordan Henderson’s last gasp goal for Liverpool against Everton ruled out with Sadio’s shoulder Mane in just millimeters offside.
The Premier League has to propose any changes to the law before next Sunday for discussion at the annual business meeting later this year, and the agreed changes would not take effect until next season.
Offside is expected to be on the IFAB’s agenda anyway, with Arsene Wenger, FIFA’s head of world football development, keen to introduce his own rule in which a player is in play whenever any part of your body that you can mark is at the same level as the previous one. defender.
Annual changes to the IFAB and FIFA rules are common, and one of the most recent is allowing goal kicks to be passed to a player within the area, leading to a change in tactics for many.
