I thought if the keeper came off of the line early and the penalty is not scored it is taken again?
At least four times i made it.
Don't expect EPL referees to be enforcing laws like that mate. It's just not cricket.
I keep being told it's a different game up there to our level.
I agree, to a degree, in terms of fitness, ability, thinking etc, but the laws are still the same.
Other countries seem to be able to enforce the laws but ours up in the top don't.
And they wonder why refs quit lower down when they try to enforce the laws and get abused.
It's a joke really.
Contrary to the rest of the world, the EPL does not permit the use of VAR for GK encroachment. As I recall, they said they wanted the AR to flag violations, but did not want the micro enforcement we've seen in some competitions.I thought if the keeper came off of the line early and the penalty is not scored it is taken again?

Yet they go with the micro enforcement (literally) for offside with imaginary lines they draw on a sceen, of which accuracy is not proven.Contrary to the rest of the world, the EPL does not permit the use of VAR for GK encroachment.

Spot on ONE, it's the simplest / quickest / objective call for VAR, so why not use it?Yet they go with the micro enforcement (literally) for offside with imaginary lines they draw on a sceen, of which accuracy is not proven.
At least with goalkeeper encroachment the reference line is real and drawn on the ground.
Where's the downside?

Referee and their ARs should already be able to see and stop blatant off the line movement.
