       You could argue the case pre-VAR, however, this is exactly the
       sort of factual decision that they are trying to achieve by
       using VAR ----like it like it not and most know my opinion of
       VAR!

       I’ve seen some people arguing that this part of the law changes
       things -
       “except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the
       goalkeeper has made a save”
       Would anyone in the know be able to offer an explanation of when
       this exception is applied?

       .......also whether the exception phrase applies to both of the
       situations either side of the "or" or just the latter one.

       Second paragraph states except if the ball rebounds from the
       goalkeeper or if the goalkeeper makes a save which he did
       [/quote]
       The second element does not apply. It would apply if the
       goalkeeper saved the ball (trapped on the ground) and it was
       then released.
       That is to distinguish between that situation and others (such
       as the action of throwing the ball to kick it, where despite the
       goalkeeper not touching it, he is deemed by the Law to still
       have ‘control’).
       You cannot kick the ball out of the goalkeeper’s control in the
       moment of the save.
       The second element is not for this situation, though I
       appreciate the wording is awkward.

       That is correct.  It is another law that is not written very
       well, but the bottom line is if you have the ball between the
       ground and one hand it is deemed to be under control and
       therefore it has to be a foul.  It used to be two hands for
       there to be control, but that hasn't been the case for a long,
       long time now.

       Thanks Affy_Moose and rustyref for the clarification. I agree
       with you both, the law could be worded more clearly but what
       does now seem clear and beyond doubt is that Michael Oliver and
       VAR Paul Tierney were 100% correct.

       Watching the game from the stands today Mr Oliver seemed to be
       very lenient in his game management resulting
       In very few yellow cards being issued. Not a criticism but just
       an observation.
       As for the ruled out goal, me being quite some distance away,
       nearer the other goal and given the fact the incident happened
       quickly, it was Difficult to tell initially why the goal had
       been ruled out.
       Schmeicheal was on the ground in some apparent pain, but in
       todays game it is often difficult to tell if the pain is actual
       pain or pain resulting from making a mistake. I hate it when
       players stay on the ground enticing teams to
       Kick the ball out of play or get the referee to stop the game
       and then get up rather quickly after the game has
       Been stopped.
       I guess villa will be in trouble as a replay of the incident was
       played on the big screen just after var intervened
       Thus resulting in villa players questioning the referee as to
       why he had made his decision, another charge for surrounding the
       referee to follow after the palace game last week ?
       Mr Oliver and Mr Schmeicheal were not the two most favourite
       people on the field of play from then on with the majority of
       the crowd.
       After a few hours drive home, collecting my thoughts, Watching a
       replay and checking the laws of the game,
       I have to say Mr Tierney was right in asking Mr Oliver to have
       another look, and they came to the right decision.
       I would defend Mr Oliver for not giving the free kick immy as it
       was difficult to tell what happened in real time, plus he had
       the get out jail card, ie var.
       Not The best display today from Mr Oliver today in my opinion
       but definitely not his worst either.

       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.
       [/quote]
       Affy - I couldn't agree more with your post.
       This was an ill thought out comment and the phrase "bottled
       decision" has no place on this forum.
       It is actually a ridiculous notion anyway, given that the much
       braver decision was to recognise the error and disallow the
       goal. Bottling it would suggest not having the courage to apply
       law correctly and allow the goal........

       Having watched the game on Sky, I was surprised to see the stats
       showing 8 fouls by Villa but 25 by Leicester.  I can't say I was
       conscious of that many by the away team but you'd probably
       expect at least 1 player to be a candidate for PI on that count.
       Perhaps it was a little bit feisty at times but the only bad
       foul I recall was the cynical trip by Maddison near the end for
       which he was rightly cautioned.
       Yes, Oliver was surrounded by Villa players when he disallowed
       the goal after an OFR but my impression was it dissipated fairly
       quickly. Either MO is very persuasive or maybe his geordie
       accent confused them?? There was a bit of chat with 2 of the
       players as they walked off at half time but nothing untoward.
       At least he's a referee prepared to talk to players and explain
       decisions.

       Have to agree about Oliver talking to players and explaining
       decisions, he is usually calm when doing so and has gained
       respect of the players. I would imagine that many of the
       players, and the majority in the crowd werent aware of the
       current laws. I have to admit i had to think hard and double
       check, i am of an age where two hands were needed to have
       control of the ball but was aware the laws had changed.
