       Michael Oliver : Aston Villa vs Leicester

       Really not sure why Oliver had disallowed the 2nd Villa goal
       surely one hand on the ball does not constitute being in
       control. Unless I’m wrong then it’s a very poor decision by
       Oliver but if I’m wrong I apologise and good use of VAR

       It was my understanding that if the goalkeeper has his hand on
       the ball while it is on the ground he is deemed to be in control
       of it? I’m not a soccer referee and wouldn’t be familiar with
       the nuance of the law but I wasn’t surprised it was ruled out.

       A very much outstretched hand on top of the ball for no more
       than a second is deemed in control of the ball.
       The game is stuffed.

       100% should be disallowed under current laws, quoted below ...
       [i]A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with
       the hand(s) when:
       • the ball is between the hands or between the hand and
       any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any
       part of the hands or arms, except if the ball rebounds from the
       goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save
       • holding the ball in the outstretched open hand
       • bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air
       A goalkeeper cannot be challenged by an opponent when in control
       of the ball with the hand(s)

       Totally correct and it was a correct decision to rule it out.
       Without VAR the goal would have stood, however, in these days of
       VAR when things can be shown and slowed down, it was obvious
       that Schmeichel's hand was on top of the ball, therefore, Ramsey
       committed a foul by kicking it, in fact, it could be said that
       he endangered an opponent and Michael could have added insult to
       injury by issuing a caution. I would have loved to have seen
       Villa's reaction then!

       Another bottled decision by Oliver. There is absolutely no way
       he had full control of that ball

       Thanks rustyref for clarifying, seems very clear then. Almost
       like a tight offside, it’s basically a factual decision and they
       made the right one

       Thanks Ashington46. I agree - probably a better call by Michael
       in terms of game management to not issue a card!

       We expect better on this forum. This is a fan opinion not based
       on Law.
       We can debate the veracity or sense of Law, but not its
       application when it’s a question of fact. There are subjective
       Laws, but this isn’t one of them.
       It was correctly disallowed.

       Second paragraph states except if the ball rebounds from the
       goalkeeper or if the goalkeeper makes a save which he did
