054123 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Between this World Cup and the nations league I am very close to losing faith in the ‘professional game’. Having played in goal to a decent level, you cannot stand rooted to your line. It’s impossible. To get booked for attempting to dive, which then means you are now very close to getting sent off if you do it again, pathetic. What the **** is going on? It’s a game, you cannot legislate everything by VAR. The game has gone to bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Interesting one on the keepers. Got to say the standard of keeping has improved beyond belief. With the penalties, keepers have had it all their way for a long time. They’ve effectively been ‘rushing’ penalty takers. Now just got to re-learn diving from a stationary position. Difficult, but not impossible. Clearly, gives the advantage back to the taker with the likelihood of added goals and more excitement. Enjoying watching a few matches. Skill levels are up their with the men, some really nice footwork on display. Even better, less cheating which is ruining the men’s game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 The rule has changed, the Scottish keeper broke the rule. What on earth was supposed to happen? Bleating about it after the event and blaming the ref / var is just being a bad loser. Also, what the hell was the keeper doing on the retake? She was stood a t least a yard off centre, the ball went straight down the middle where she should have been, and she moved off the line again anyway !!!!! That's not to say that this new rule isn't crap, and don't even get me started again on '''handball''' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a joke, VAR is killing football The 2nd pen did go down the middle.... Throwing away a 3 goal lead with 20mins to go, that's more unforgiveable. As is the pathetic timekeeping after the pen when an extra 3 or 4 mins could've been added on following VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a joke, VAR is killing football That’s a massive understatement! The way they are applying VAR is an absolute joke and the total opposite way they said it would be used, whatever happened to their ‘clear and obvious’ errors? They are checking everything over and over again to try and find the smallest of infringements to award penalties, goals, disallow goals, and in tonight’s case retake penalties. Things like Lingaard’s big toe being offside and Scotland’s keeper tonight are all that is wrong with VAR and why it’s suddenly spoilt what was a beautiful game, the Officials may aswell all be made redundant.

I've played in goal myself for the best part of 30 years (not at high levels though), and the last thing on my mind when facing a penalty is whether I'm stood on the goal line, too busy focussing on the kick itself.

Like handball the rule is there so you do not play it with arm or hand, not to make sure the ball never hits your arm or hand. If course both are subjective, but it’s a game. By trying to use VAR to legislate on everything you are killing the thing that made it the most popular sport in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - to be clear I'm not agreeing with the new rule entirely, if the keeper moves slightly off the line then so be it, if its yards off the line then by all means apply the rule. At this rate, there will be little point having the keeper there as they would be scared to move for risk of sanction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that offence in any way warrant restricting a team to 10 players? Scandalous state of affairs. How do we change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 And this of course will only apply in grounds in this country that have VAR! What happened to the simple task of relying on the match officials? Again next season we will have the bizarre situation in cup matches where VAR can be applied in one match but not another!

I thought the French one the other evening was bad enough (even worse because it was a crap penalty that went wide initially). If this is the shape of things to come in the Premier League next season, I for one will have to purchase a job lot of popcorn as it will be entertaining (for the entirely wrong reasons of course).
