The Persecuted One
So if someone shoots from 20 or even 25, or even 30 yards out the referee believes it is on target, or close or close as, or to put into law the referee believes that the ball is going into the goal or close to it, then any intervention is a save.
I would suggest that they would need to be the only player between the ball and the goal for a shot from such a distance to be ‘saved’.......
But potentially, yes. That’s why I said the definition of ‘save’ opens up a whole new debate!
