Steele
In the papers today Steele is being hailed a hero.
the point is he cheated at every penalty by moving off his line so early the Newport manager is heard
complaining about the last penalty.
We have refs booking goalkeepers for doing this.

Once you have done that, watch a penalty being taken in real time and you will realise that it doesn't matter whether you know the 'rules' or not.
Had the match been played at Brighton, VAR would have been involved and everything slowed down to decide whether or not there was movement, however, Newport don't have VAR, therefore, you rely on the naked eye at full speed.

The ref would need to watch both goalie and penalty taker and then make a judgement about when the keeper left his line compared to when the ball is kicked.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 12:36 pmCan't the referee just look at him as the penalty is being taken?
Let's be honest, the ref isn't going to worry too much unless it's blatantly obvious.

A goalkeeper can only be cautioned where he has clearly come off his line and a goal is not scored. That said the first offence is actually a warning and not a caution.

Re: Steele
Do the linos stand near to the goal or way out near the corner flag?
By the flag, that's a fair way for the sound to travel and the lino to watch the GK, to then judge them in that split second.
If they're next to the goal, they've also got to make a decision that's absolutely right based on a split second.
Unless it's clear and obvious they won't give it

A mate of mine who refereed locally told me back in the seventies that he always looked at the keeper and listened to the ball being kicked when he blew the whistle as goalies weren`t even allowed to move then and it worked fine for him without technology and he was known as a decent ref by other players.

Re: Steele
I’ve just watched our pens back and with the naked eye, trying to hit pause at the correct time, neither of the two goalkeepers seem to have come off their line.
My issue is that a penalty shoot out at one ground is not played to the same rules as one at another because of VAR being used at only the Premier League venues.

If a linesman can judge when the ball is kicked for offside decisions, then he can do it for penalties.

Accrington played a cup tie last year with only one linesman, but it didn't devalue any of the other matches. As long as each match has a refereeing team that is fair an honest, it can't really be helped that some of those teams are better (via technology or otherwise) than others.

If it cannot be used throughout the competition, it shouldn’t be used at all.
If our fixture was played at MK Dons, Keoughs red card would have stood (not getting into whether it was right or wrong in the first place)

Re: Steele
Exactly what I said in my match report.
Re: Steele
The Asst Ref should be stood level with the goal line, at a distance just outside the six yard area
His job would then be to check whether the GK still kept one foot on or behind the line before the kick was taken or, if the ball hit the crossbar, whether it went on to cross the goal line (in which case you should not need goal line technology in all games)
They are level with the GK and only 6+ yards away. A ref can be over 12 yards from the line and at a poor angle
The problem is, Asst Refs do not want to be seen to overrule the man in the middle

Re: Steele
Where is the advantage is sending off a man unjustly? I really don't see how Newport v Brighton, for example, was affected because Keown was not sent off.
What about goal-line technology? If either ourselves or MK had scored a goal where the camera clearly showed it crossed the line, how would it improve the competition by disallowing it just because Chorley don't have goal line technology?

Re: Steele
For what it is it doesn’t constitute enough of a problem, it’s already been said the Ref can’t be certain whether the keeper moves or the balls struck first, in some cases the time disparities probably amount to nano seconds the obvious 1s they probably do pick up on or at least try to, it’s not enough of a drama to get worked up about some you’ll get some you won’t.

The ref and has team have to look for goalkeepers coming off their line, look for some illegal movement of the penalty taker, and look for both attackers and defenders encroaching into the area, not to mention to notice if the ball crosses the goal line and to deal with what happens if the ball doesn't go straight in the net - it's saved or hits the post etc..
I don't know if there is a standard practice but when I was running the line the ref told me to only look for player encroachment.

Had MK Dons then won the game, he would not have been available for the next round. Therefore, as in the case of Smith-Rowe at Arsenal who was also sent off, yes, it was correctly changed by VAR, however, had Arsenal been playing a team outside of the PL in an away game, he would have gone and been unavailable for the next 3 FA Cup games if Arsenal had won through the various rounds.Roosterbooster wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 9:57 pmBut that only affects our game.

Re: Steele
Waters have always been muddied when it comes down to penalties. I'm unsure of the current rules / regulations / interpretations:
Can a keeper still move along the goal-line prior to the penalty kick as long as he doesn't move forwards ?
Can a keeper shout insults / make unusual noises at the taker on his run up ?
Was there a time when the penalty taker had to make a smooth continuous approach to the ball with no stops or stutters ?
When was the last time a penalty had to be re-taken in the Premier League due to player encroachment ?
In modern football, where is the best place to score a penalty ? My uneducated guess would be smashing it down the middle at head height whilst the keeper makes a poor dive one way or the other. Otherwise, being Peter Noble or Graham Alexander would up the % success rate.

I believe that by using VAR in some games but not others in a round of a competition is undermining the whole competition.

Every one of Steele’s saves were legal...
It appears that many of you have judged too quickly.
Law 14: “...When the ball is kicked, the defending goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot touching, or in line with, the goal line. The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves.”

His red card would have been overturned and he wouldn't have been suspended at all. The system for overturning red cards in matches without VAR remains in place.Ashingtonclaret46 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 10:31 pmNot quite correct because if VAR had not been used, the referee had already issued a red card and Keogh would have gone. Had MK Dons then won the game, he would not have been available for the next round. Therefore, as in the case of Smith-Rowe at Arsenal who was also sent off, yes, it was correctly changed by VAR, however, had Arsenal been playing a team outside of the PL in an away game, he would have gone and been unavailable for the next 3 FA Cup games if Arsenal had won through the various rounds.
This means that it does not only affect the game in which VAR is used, it can affect up to another 3 games afterwards depending on the progress of the club and against whom and where they are drawn for the next rounds.

I don't think we are playing to different rules. If Keogh had done that "handball" in the Newport v Brighton game, he would have been sent off, but it wouldn't have been sent off according to the rules. The rules said he shouldn't be sent off; the problem would have been that the ref didn't assess the rules correctly.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 11:16 pmSorry but type of grass, lighting is not relevant in my view. What is relevant is that we are not all playing to the same rules and no way would I accept that a referee would consider giving different cards based on whether VAR was used or not.
I believe that by using VAR in some games but not others in a round of a competition is undermining the whole competition.
Having VAR, goal line technology, referees miked up to linesmen and fourth officials, and so on, are all technology to help the referee interpret the rules correctly. They aren't changes of rules. Apart from arguably the offside rule, none of this technology changes any rule at all - it just, again arguably, improves the referee's chances of getting them right.
Out of interest, do you know if they do turn off goal line technology in the League Cup?

Re: Steele
I don't know where you have this notion that his red card would have been overturned. Had Keogh been sent off in a cup tie with no VAR he would not have had it overturned and he would have been serving a suspension.
