Farcical, looked like he was just on the line.

Var off to a flyer, in fairness it looked like he was off the line for the second pen as well.

Not sure what Rice was hoping to achieve there. The pictures support the VAR decision. Unfortunately.

Shit rule imo

Yep players can stagger their run up but the goalie can’t be an inch off his line.

As someone has already said; if the keeper can't mentally stop himself from stepping forward, stand a yard behind the line.

See where you're coming from but I don't believe the keeper gains an advantage by being slightly off his line like Fabianski was then.

I get that, if he was a foot off his line then fair enough, crap rule all the same.

Not the millimetres he was off the line, no. But I guess it'd be mayhem if you said keepers are allowed up to, say, 75mm off their line. How would you measure the distance? Is the technology there to measure distance from the VAR freeze frame? Also, you'd be saying that 75mm is fine, but 76mm isn't. If you have to have the rule, I guess the way it is now is probably the best of a bad lot. If you're off the line, irrespective of how much it's a retake if you save the penalty.

Iv not seen a shit game involving leeds this season. They've all been decent football games to watch

 

[jimharri]

West Ham fully deserve that. Arguably the better side since falling behind.
