Could a rule be changed mid season? I reckon itll be gone for next season but until then theres going to be more of this shit...for and against us im sure!
I think they were part of the original problem, in that felt that the original definition of handball was too subjective. IFAB amended the law to make the officials' job easier, and this is the result.The refs could grow some balls and say I can’t give a so obviously unfair and illogical decision
Nope it has to stay now otherwise I'd want us awarded two points.Could a rule be changed mid season? I reckon itll be gone for next season but until then theres going to be more of this shit...for and against us im sure!
If they want to do something about clubs get together and agree that if pens like this is awarded. Managers agree and Roll the ball to the keeper. Sportmanship. This will change the rule soon enough after that. The clubs have to step above this shit.Fair play to Bruce there calling a spade a spade.
This goes beyond tribal nonsense - this rule is a farce and it needs to be rectified!
Last time i felt this bad was the Mendes goal that wasnt given!
My apologies to @Lyngby BK who is obviously a traffic warden and seems to have been mentally scarred by his/her experiences.They do when they're running full pelt just beyond the front bumper of your car...
I've heard...
It's not the rules though - but how the English refs have decided to interpret them.Could a rule be changed mid season? I reckon itll be gone for next season but until then theres going to be more of this shit...for and against us im sure!
That's nice quoting that. But those aren't the laws.
It is an offence if a player:
The above offences apply even if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close.
- deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, including moving the hand/arm towards the ball
- scores in the opponents’ goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper
- after the ball has touched their or a team-mate’s hand/arm, even if accidental, immediately:
- scores in the opponents’ goal
- creates a goal-scoring opportunity
- touches the ball with their hand/arm when:
- the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger
- the hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level (unless the player deliberately plays the ball which then touches their hand/arm
Except for the above offences, it is not an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm:
- directly from the player’s own head or body (including the foot)
- directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close
- if the hand/arm is close to the body and does not make the body unnaturally bigger
- when a player falls and the hand/arm is between the body and the ground to support the body, but not extended laterally or vertically away from the body
Been so many to be fair, being denied CL place due to Chelsea winning the thing!I remember the Chris Foy match which was probably the last time I felt like this and then there was the Paul Robinson 'foul' in Sevilla in the UEFA Cup.
