    I’m a keeper and I would be absolutely rinsed by the rest of team if I claimed that was a foul.

    That’s soft and I wouldn’t be happy if it were against us for sure, but the way Ali tried to jump and ended up going more sideways than upwards tells me it impacted him a lot more than what it seemed.

    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).

    Learn the rules guys before you complain about referees endlessly

      That’s not control though. The ball rebounded from the keeper. If he’d held it, it would be control. Also, “challenge” in this context is about taking the ball off him (like the awful non-decision in a Turkish women’s game recently).

        The ball was between his arms making contact with both his gloves. That counts as control under the rules

        Challenge can mean that Turkish call or jumping in the air interfering with a keeper trying to catch the ball

        Regardless, the mere presence of contact implies a lack of “clear and obvious error”

        Tbh I see it more often people being upset at inconsistency. Sure when they happen it may be based on rules, but the other half of the time that don’t get called pisses everyone else off

    I don’t think it should have been a foul, but I can see why it’s given and I can also understand why on-field decision should not be overturned unless egregiously wrong

    Yeah GK’s are protected or you’d have pushes and shoves on them constantly to get advantage.

      I get what you mean but literally the reason akanji isn’t closer to contend with the ball is because Alisson has pushed him away,which is way more contact than is then made by akanji in the challenge. I get why it’s disallowed but it feels really soft.

    I love that people say it’s not a foul. Even my girlfriend that doesn’t even watch football told me “are you allowed to grab the guy’s hand?” Lol

    Clear as day foul. Akanji knew what he was doing before Alisson even began to jump.

    Alanji tried a similar ‘lean’ later in the match too, as if pushing a GK into across their own goal line with the ball in their gloves would somehow count. That was also correctly called as a foul.

      Never know in the PL. Hard to criticize players for trying this sort of thing with the chaotic standards.

      I mean, why not?

      What is the penalty for the outfield player for pushing a keeper? At best you get a goal, at worst you give away a free kick. Sure, you might cancel a goal that was going to score regardless, but that probability is so much smaller than forcing an undue goal.

    Absolutely incredible amount of morons in here without a clue about the rules of the game.
