For me, one of the weirdest things in all officiating is that assistants have a >95% success rate for offsides but can't spot a keeper jumping a yard off his line when a penalty is taken, when the ball is stationary and the goal line is literally all they have to look at.
Yes, it should've been retaken because Ryan was off his line, but that wasn't the reason VAR gave for the retake. It's just a mess.
This is so true, it does my head in watching penalties and from the TV i can see the goalie off his line but none of the officials who are less than 5 yards away can.
