The Master Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Just now, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Keeper cleared the ball after the save. VAR should have checked that. No, because they’re not using VAR for goalkeeper encroachment. It was entirely he linesman’s responsibility to enforce it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Fairly sure in an Arsenal game earlier in the season they got a retake due to the keeper being off the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR should check that the clearing player hasn't encroached, which the keeper did. I know it seems stuid but that is the way England have chosen to use VAR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Few wee thoughts on the Sheffield Utd - Man City game... Oli McBurnie is still rubbish. John Fleck is in great form, I've never been a fan but he has to be in with a strong shout of a starting place against Israel. So much confidence. Kevin De Bruyne doesn't see in the observable spectrum of light. He sees in spacetime. What proportion of Man City's goals are side-footed into an effectively empty goal? Their ability to remove the keeper from the equation is extraordinary. I've been waiting for someone to work out how to stop these goals but the fact that no-one has suggests it must be next to impossible. Looking forward to seeing the David Lulz red card later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The linesman is still there to check for these things. YupWith goal-line technology in place, at penalties the only job of the assistant referee on pitch is to spot if a goalkeeper comes off the line before the spot-kick has been takenOnly job n he makes a complete ass of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it seems stuid but that is the way England have chosen to use VAR. No, the EPL have said that VAR will only be used for outfield players who encroach if they then have an impact on the play (e.g. clearing the ball after a save, or scoring a rebound).
