I feel for the Scotland team,
VAR has now drawn a line, a line which cannot possibly be maintained.
To rule out the penalty for that is ludicrous. It happens in 99% of penalties taken.
They were robbed.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the no movement ruling with VAR on the sideline is going to work out over a season. All keepers move before a penalty is struck otherwise there is no chance of stopping a goal. Presently 70% of penalties result in a goal that will go up 99% and diminish the drama of the game esp in shoot-outs.
the rule should be that the keeper can move once the taker has planted his final, non-shooting foot, which is probably very much the reality of what's happening now.

As below , its not happening .
Wait till my wife hears about this!
Sorry for being a bit dim here but why is the goalie not allowed to move before the ball is kicked, what difference does it make, 50% of the time they go the wrong way any way?
I thought they had to stay on the goal line?
I don't watch football BECAUSE of the cheating, and the total lack of respect for the referee by players, coaches and the fans.on a different tack, I was talking the womens game up for reasons of good, fair play (unlike the men mostly) when in USA vs Sweden, a suddenly flurry of dives at the feet of the ref made me rethink....on one a commentator later said, at replay, oh that was 'a good professional dive'?
A good professional dive????????????
WTF.
a: bang goes my daft idea that women were somehow more honest and sporting and
b: if a commentator openly approves of this behaviour, W T actual F have we come to in sport now?
Well this is some time wasting nonsense
