In my opinion, it’s the very fact that he jumps that leaves no doubt that it was a foul, no matter where the referee was.
I mean, what sort of legitimate move was he attempting by jumping? None. I really can’t see how jumping could be considered a great idea to clear the danger and I’ve never seen another goalkeeper do that in such a situation.
You could be jumping to try and intercept the ball, the way a wall does, because you expect the player to try and score over your head. Looking at the replays, it’s clear that he jumps a little too late to be doing that, but in real time, it wouldn’t be so evident.
He is not a rugby player, and that would be a foul there too. He checked the player with his body.
Patrick Battiston talks about the incident…
I’m not arguing it’s not a foul. I’m arguing that it’s not as blatant(in terms of how obvious it would be to the officials) as the one in the OP.
Phoenix From The Flames is one of my favorite humourous sporting segments. I think I’ve watched them all on the 'Tube.
