Var debate 2019/20

I am at a loss. We have always suffered from rubbish refereeing but under Old Mother Riley and his VAR it has got worse. Incompetent referees on the field and another set of incompetent referees in the VAR room. Time OMR went. Don’t blame VAR blame the people behind it.
 
They said at the beginning of the season they'd review that during the season though and the premier league site now says that VAR can intervene for goalkeeper movement on penalty kicks?

I've said the same. VAR can only do what is allowed, but the refs have been pretty lousy this season.
 
No, they don't.

The VAR can intervene in one of the following instances:

- A clear and obvious error by the on-field match officials relating to goalkeeper movement
- A double touch by the penalty-taker
- Feigning at the point of the kick by the taker
- Encroachment by players that has a direct impact on the outcome of the kick

It does, I agree.
I don't know why it is different, but it looks like it shows the official VAR protocol before the FIFA directive.

VAR doesn’t check for the keeper’s position on penalties. Give it up.
 
Yes but you posting a BBC article that was written before the season (that even says in it that they'll review during the season) doesn't detract from it being on the pl website under the current VAR protocol, which I don't know whether had been added recently. That's exactly what I was checking.
