Diamonds are Forever Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 4 minutes ago, parsforlife said: I think you need to consider if the goalkeeper is moving before the shot because they’re trying to get a sight of the ball . You also can’t consider how likely they were to save it, doing that is asking the ref to judge how good the player is which isn’t fair on either They surely have to though - most of the time in the case of goalkeepers 'preventing the player from playing the ball' is going to mean stopping them having a reasonable chance of saving it, which is a judgement. If Trafford had been another 5 yards to his right but was still unsighted then that goal gets given as it's then essentially a shot in to an empty goal and has no effect on his ability to play the ball. An extreme example obviously but the point is there must be a point where the referee is having to consider that. In this case I think Trafford is close enough, and as you say maybe shifting his weight to see, that I'd say offside. On your second point, I'd say that's also the case for the 'clear goalscoring opportunity' law so it's not unique for a referee to have to make some kind of prediction into the future, which does involve an element of judgement on player ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
