47er Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 We're definitely 2nd best in this game. And a pen will seal it! Shame, with all that hype that preceded the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted August 20, 2023 Backroom Share Posted August 20, 2023 Is it really a "clear and obvious error" though ? This is where I disagree with VAR usage. If it needs the level of discussion that was had for this penalty, it isn't clear and obvious, and VAR shouldn't be flagging it. Great save for the pen. Our attackers need to raise their game for the last 20 minutes, they haven't been at it today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point blank range, no time to react, natural movement of the arm. One of the worst penalty calls I've seen this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebruce Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Love Earps' reaction to saving that. Wasn't a good penalty, you rarely see them caught. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasta Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Her arm is out and when the girl knocks it past her she leans into it with her arm. It's a penalty. Keeper is off the line as well when she saves it. Huge let off. Let's hope it's the turning point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeper is off the line as well when she saves it. Huge let off. Let's hope it's the turning point. Total horseshit, arms swing out when you change direction of motion. All happens in a split second too. There's no intent. But I'm not gonna keep arguing it, to each their own. I don't remember the last time I saw a keeper stay on their line for a penalty, or where no attackers ran into the area before it was taken for that matter.

Yep - VAR is so poorly implemented, it's so black and white with no room for context. So on that note, c'mon then VAR, their player has just kneed our lass in the head. Red card please.

Exiled_Rover Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 As I said, it's a shame they've brought the dark arts in. Diving, reigning injury, cynical pull backs. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
