Having kicked the ball how is he going to feint?George Street-Bridge wrote:He stopped near enough to the ball to be able to kick it, but I'd argue it's mid-runup at any point before he does kick it.
I agree. Also the more variants you take out of the game the more predictable the game becomes.JonD wrote:Agreed on that. Though I doubt I’ve seen a penalty in the last ten years that, applying the letter of the law, wouldn’t need to be retaken for some transgression or other.
Which is why VAR is such a stinking pile.

I was at that game a 3-3 all draw. My recollection is that he used the technique and messed it up.excessbee wrote:Jason Bowen was another to employ that technique. It was a change he adopted after having a kick saved (superbly) against Fisher at Dulwich Hamlet. His new style became very reliable.
VAR is being used in the Bundesliga and MLS without any issues, so I would suggest that the people operating it are to blame not the system.G Guest wrote:VAR is the emperor's new clothes. People are afraid to say it's rubbish, which it is. It's ruined rugby and it will do the same to football.

That’s interesting. I’ve heard the exact opposite re Bundesliga.
