The Premier League has reportedly postponed the implementation of Semi-Automated Offside Technology (SAOT) for the current season, following concerns raised by clubs and a record-breaking 8-minute VAR check during an FA Cup match between Bournemouth and Wolves.

Initially, the league had planned to introduce SAOT as early as April 5-6, aiming to streamline offside decisions and reduce delays. However, the controversial VAR incident in the FA Cup has sparked doubts among several clubs about the timing of such a significant change. With only eight games remaining in the season, every match carries immense importance, and teams are wary of potential disruptions caused by new technology.

SAOT, which uses advanced tracking systems to provide quicker and more accurate offside decisions, has already been successfully implemented in competitions like the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Champions League.
