The referee whistled for the free kick before it was in the net

The ball wouldn't jump like that if the goalkeeper didn't have a hand on it. The goalkeeper is holding his head, maybe there was a follow through as well. Can't tell from that angle and distance.

Van Dijk being held at a corner kick. He sticks his arm up to appeal, and it hits his arm. Penalty conceded

FA trying for a longer ban saying 3-games is clearly insufficient

Rooney had a lower than standard ban just before a EUROs tournament

@Paul_10 Previously they just made the line thicker. They need to find of making the visualization better and get the ball chip so the kick point can be determined more accurate.

The margin of error is given in favour of the attacker. That's not say to say offside decisions are being give as onside, it's saying the technology isn't accurate enough to determine if someone is onside or offside within that margin of error. The margin of error of the tech will be far...

Thought this was a parody account at first

Why are people still interacting with him after the "Snap Him" thread?

The attacker is standing on the penalty area line, it's a retake.

He's lunged in with a straight leg with both feet off the floor at one point. Fortunate the impact point was when Foden's leg was in the air.

How is your communication on field? There are some foreign refs in my area who's decisions are top notch but their verbal communication skills, in their non-native language, are limited and it leads to confusion.

Depends whether the referee signalled it was an IDFK or not. https://www.refchat.co.uk/threads/spirit-of-the-law.25424/ The Q&A above quoting 'spirit of the law' is why I played devil's advocate with my question in this thread

Surely spirit of the game disallow the goal if the goalkeeper got a touch after trying to save it? 😉

@Russell Jones Do they show another camera angle. It doesn't look particular close to contacting the attacker after the defender plays it in the OPs video. Although the trajectory/spin of the ball might suggest it did

Don't think I've ever whistled one without any contact. Tackles an opponent could fit for a DFK in both contact and non-contact scenarios? Actually makes a difference in Futsal whether it's an IDFK or DFK; incidents like this are far more common to.

Attacker may have got a touch before the defender played it but that's very clearly a deliberate play by the defender.

Yes, to a degree. Otherwise the comms information is largely irrelevant. More properly it lowers the bar for what is a clear and obvious error.

@DavidObs From an observer perspective you may back him making a credible judgement about line of sight. VAR doesn't say from the ARs position he's got a credible view. It decides from the best angle available whether the AR was clearly and obviously wrong. There's not even a debate about it...
