I'm taking that to mean a keeper that saves, defender that clears, or attacker that nets a rebound. If I am reading them correctly, then it'll eliminate stuff like the Grealish heel, and also mean that if you postage stamp a penalty, one of your teammates getting chalk on a toenail will be as inconsequential as it used to be.
Literally every saved penalty will end up being retaken if they apply this properly because the keeper virtually always moves.
They're addressing a problem that doesn't exist. How many games were decided last year by a keeper being 1cm over his line and saving a pen or giving it the full Grobbelaar spaghetti legs. So rather than sort out the clearly farcical offside rubbish they inflicted on us last year they've been digging around to create new issues. Outstanding work.
I don’t get why it’s so hard. Make it primarily refs decision on the pitch as it used to be. If he wants to check VAR he goes to the monitor and there he can consult also with the broader team. Ultimately he still makes the final decision.
