Surely if it's not ready for week one it's not fair to introduce it later in the competition.

I think the argument will be that the law will remain the same, it's just the way it's determined and the speed of the decision will happen to get quicker halfway through the season. The PGMOL would probably say, whilst defending the current system, that the people drawing lines is close to as accurate as the automated system, just a lot slower.

Your point should have been the case for the introduction of VAR in Scotland. They introduced after World Cup break in 2022, which meant a third of the season waz refereed differently to the latter two thirds.
