wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted May 14, 2018 Watched it on Rte2 (irish channel) , the Pundits were convinced there is no rule making it a mandatory yellow card, can any rule buff clarify please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted May 15, 2018 i checked the rules, since 2016 leaving the goal line before the ball is kicked is a mandatory yellow card, nothing wrong with that ,although the ref warned the dutch keeper twice about the same offence but no booking.....probably because the penalties were scored . Tough but by the book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,502 Posted May 15, 2018 But surely that''s not right? If it''s a mandatory yellow card it still has to be applied, whether the penalty''s scored or not. In which case the Dutch goalie should have been off. Which would likely have been a game changer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 492 Posted May 15, 2018 It was a big shame, but the ROI ''keeper came off his line despite being told he''d be booked if he did that again.I watched the replay of it earlier today and he''s a fair way off his line before the ball is kicked. Have a gander... Poor lad completely lost his mind too... Proper upset.No idea why the Dutch ''keeper survived being sent off though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted May 15, 2018 It''s quite simple really, if the keeper moves forward before the hall is kicked and it''s a goal, then he is warned, as his movement has had no effect on the outcome of the penalty, if he moves early and saves it, he''s booked.

Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted May 15, 2018 Harsh though.....that happens in every game where there is either a game time penalty or a penalty shootout.Sorry, thought Iād better clarify the difference in my reference to penalties before the pedantic forum police point out that both are penalties š Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
