Talking of keepers, this FA law 22-2 & recent Var shenanigans regarding Villa denied a goal at Old Trafford resulting in complaints to referees body Professional Game Match Officials Limited after an alleged mistake by ref Thomas Bramall contributed to them losing 2-0 at Man U & missing out on the Champions League placing.🤔

With the match goalless and Villa down to 10 men after goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was correctly sent off, the visitors thought Morgan Rogers had given them the lead.

Rogers had 'nudged the ball away' from United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir as he attempted to gather & slotted home.
However, Bramall blew for a foul thinking Bayindir had 2 hands on the ball 'tho television footage showed otherwise.

Cos Bramall stopped play before the ball entered the net the video assistant referee,aka VAR could not intervene.

Law 22- 2 actually states a goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand/s when the ball is 'between' the hands.

So, the ball was 'between 2 hands' but 🧐
So what do you think ?

Were Villa controversially DENIED crucial goal against Man Utd ?

Whatever that law 22-2 needs adjusting word choice wise, imo, adding control of ball directives or alternative ball held considerations, for sure !

Some would argue is the ball ever fully under control in certain circumstance, likewise as is the ball always under the control or an attacker, too.

Tough for refs, some may say too.
