You try diving to make a save without moving the foot forward that you are pushing off a little bit, it just isn't effective. Keepers will have to start behind the line slightly if this is enforced which is ridiculous. They're not crabs. It is pretty easy to tell when a keeper is taking the piss which makes it subjective but so what?
It's a penalty, it's not supposed to be fair. That's why the taker gets a run-up, and the keeper can't move.
But the clarification will make a massive difference if fully enforced. Have a look back at the shoot-out in the play-off semi-final and see the positioning of both keepers. If this approach had applied then every single saved penalty would have had to be retaken.EDIT - I mean every pen that wasn't scored, not necessarily saved. To me it's just that this is again just going to introduce even more decisions for VAR to cock-up, as if it wasn't ruining enough of the game already.
It seems, to me at least, that the way VAR has been constructed and applied in this country was specifically to allow the same old biased subjectivity we had previously. Was it 20 penalties for Man Utd this season? Fuck off.
I thought that rule had been dropped?
