How is what happened after the GK's intervention relevant? It's relevant what the ball is doing before the GK gets involved, but how quickly the ball travels after being deflected tells us nothing at all about possible DOGSO!
All four factors have to be present for DOGSO, and when there's a...
EDIT: There's now a video - unsure if it's geo-blocked: http://www.foxsports.com.au/video/football/a-league/var-leads-to-sfc-penalty!617426
So presumably there'll be video of this at some point - but I've just watched my first game of football using the VAR. There have been other games of...
