No. No goal. He went down like he'd been shot, admittedly; but didn't the nudge cause him to drop the ball? I'd say that was a foul.
Goal, although I was a keeper in my time I have no sympathy. The drop ball was given, the keeper wasted time, he invited the striker to come close, he didn't hold the ball firmly enough and a slight touch he dropped the ball. Had he not faffed around, it wouldn't have happened. Having said that, imagine if that was the Man Utd keeper at Old Trafford, the referee would need massive cojones to give that.
Given where his feet were set he had no option but to fall when pushed. I think that's a foul as I don't think he dived. Poetic justice maybe given he was time wasting and was looking for the foul anyway but striker can't push a player over and benefit.
100% a goal. Theatrics by the keeper, that nudge wouldn't normally push over a child let alone a fully grown athlete. Idiot.
It's difficult to judge, but it does look like the GK was playing for the foul to happen and after the ball was initially dropped it was in play, so the Barnsley player had the right to attempt for the ball. Nudging him over and him going down like Wilfred Zaha makes no difference. VAR would of ruled it out for a foul on the keeper.
If that had been in the PL with a big team probably would have been ruled out ! Apparently the keeper had been time wasting for a while.
Sure, but you still can't foul him because of that. I think he was rather clever in suckering the striker into comitting the foul.
It was given as a foul but by being pushed over the keeper had done enough to earn a foul. The mistake he made was to allow the ball to slip from his grasp which left him exposed if a foul wasn't given. I know you don't like to agree with me, but we both believe a foul should have been given, don't we ?
I think it was a foul, yes. But I don't think he was being very clever given that the referee evidently did not think so. It doesn't strike me as all that smart to try to second-guess a referee. Personally I think the ball slipped from his grasp because he was nudged and went over, not that he made a mistake in that respect.
It wasn't. Goal stood. 91st minute winner. And a Wycombe player got a second yellow for dissent for protesting it.
Yes I know. Not sure what I was trying to type at the start of that sentence ! I'm currently in a quarterly Board meeting.
50% here, 50% the Board on Teams. Trouble is I wear glasses on pc so worried they might see WFC forums in the reflection.
Well now we know you're not giving us your full attention I've reported your post. Hopefully the mods haul you in for a gross misconduct hearing.
All this shows is that VAR cannot work . We have a different set of opinions on this from a variety of football people who know their stuff . Back to the question . It's a goal and the 'keeper should learn never to go "full Porteous" again .
Not only that, but we’ve seen this week that in different countries and in different competitions there are different official interpretations of VAR incidents. It’s crazy and is ruining football.
Next one in the series: https://x.com/footballontnt/status/1735390973650149764 Excellent VAR decision in the Europa League last night. See if you can work it out without reading the comments below…
From a single viewing I'd guess that an offside player obstructed the keepers view or got a deflection.
You'd be wrong - to see the reason, make sure you watch the whole reply when the commentators are trying to figure it out....
I had already seen why it was disallowed and wow amazing that someone even noticed and realised that had happened and not something that will happen that often either.
