Correct call for me, if a defender makes that challenge 30 yards out I would be raving about it being a great tackle
Yes there is momentum after the keeper plays ball which makes contact with the strikers legs but that's the whole nature of a contact sport
You cant see the goalkeeper making contact with his legs on the striker after the ball is away? The right knee of goalkeeper makes contact with the striker?
if its not been given, its nothing to do with it being a dive, its because the VAR or whoever has decided its simply a fair tackle end of
And for the 1% its worth, I agree !
Last replay again....striker gets a touch to ball and keeper then gets touch to ball after this.
Glad we agree that there was physical contact though!!
14:51 on the game clock - definitive that the attacker plays the ball, no?yeah, cant be argued there was contact with the striker!
i'm still not sure on the ball though!
Hang on... attacker plays the ball, then you say GK plays the ball, then contact... and you say no foul?14:52 the ball scrapes the goalkeepers boot/stud, a tackle.
what happens on the "follow through" after the keeper (for me) gets a pubic hair to the ball, is natural accepted contact in a contact sport.
The biggest issue for me there is the striker's movement is away from the keeper. The keepers movement is towards the striker.then natural movement/speed means 2 players will actually touch each other.
that's not criteria for a foul
The biggest issue for me there is the striker's movement is away from the keeper. The keepers movement is towards the striker.
Hmmm... using that argument, 90% of the penalties given for penalties committed by goalkeepers when being "rounded" should not have been given I'm not sold on this one.That's football though? The goalkeeper moving away from the striker is not gonna help his chances of a save/tackle/block! Of course he is going to move to the striker!
And the same in reverse, of course the striker is going to try "round" the keeper or avoid him, the option of freezing and handing the ball to the goalkeeper would not make him too popular with team mates?
be a very different game if the defenders decided from now on not to make movements to attackers!!
