Interesting development.

Green light for more nonsense
I get that, but they are indirectly endorsing more nonsense with PKs by addressing a side-effect of what they've createdNo. The PK is still reviewed by VAR and retaken. The caution was wholly unnecessary once you use technology to punish every trifling infraction.
(The statement that cautions will still be given to GKs during games because it wouldn't be fair to change that since GKs have already been cautioned is BS to try to save face--if you took a poll of the 16 GKS, you'd get complete unanimity on wiping off that stupid, idiotic rule right now.)
Hopefully, you're interpretation is correct, otherwise we'll have to test the new directive on the big lads come AugustThe last sentence is very interesting:
"the experience gathered will enable further consideration of the impact of VARs on penalty kicks, and especially KFPM, in the future"
It looks like VAR at PKs is coming to an end.
Think that will happen. Anyway. Changes to law are usually, in my experience, reserved for the annual update.Hopefully, you're interpretation is correct, otherwise we'll have to test the new directive on the big lads come August
I don't understand some of the reactions on here. Plenty of people have expressed the opinion that cautioning the keepers for such infinitesimal infractions that could only be detected by VAR was both overly harsh and risked causing an undesirable outcome (law of unintended consequences, anyone?) when it came to KFPM. Now that the IFAB has (belatedly) shown some common sense in saying that they won't enforce the caution (just a retake) during penalty shoot-outs, people are still complaining. You can't have it both ways.
They've also said they'll review this going forward and what I suspect is that they may well do away with the caution altogether, even during normal play.
And I wonder how VAR would have changed the lives of those involved in 'that goal' of 33 years ago today?View attachment 3545
