The slide is wrong, theres a player with a head injury on the floor in the background for heavens sake. It also doesn't show a nutmeg with a player running onto the ball to receive it to be bang in front of goal so the comparison is disingenuous.
Remember first - clear goal scoring chance.

Okay, now you’re reading like a crazy person who gets to decide his own rules.

That’s me done here, good night.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I dont see how it can possibly be a penalty

exactly.

the slide you've quoted is irrelevant as it's position and circumstances are far from identical.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

I don't see how it can't

His hand stopped him from getting cleanly nutmegged.

The slide is wrong

The slide which quotes the laws of the game is wrong?
Uh huh.
There is a clear division in this discussion between those who would like it to be a penalty and those who are content that the rule was misinterpreted. (Obviously a small subset that like both options.)

Now theres play like tonights the slide can be updated. lovely.

So would every single other circumstance. You are now saying that the rule only applies to that particular slide!

Perhaps there is some bias here. I'll admit that

I am generally of the belief that MORE penalties should be given for handballs (when their hands are not close to their body) because anything away from the body, by default, is unnatural and makes you bigger

While I am generally of the belief that LESS handballs should be given for regular fouls inside the box, like when a guy grazes the attacker's toe.

I meant Less penalties for regular fouls, you know what i mean

That slide does not show any runner onto the handled pass. Difference number one.
That slide does not show if the pass was on target and had a chance to beat the keeper. #2
That slide doesn't show the player deemed to have handled nutmegged or on the deck. #3
That slide shows a completely different area of the box. #4

I'm glad there is an updated game slide to fix this in future.

Yes, I agree. We need players with an edge but I find the outright cheats hard to stomach.

totally... its been allowed to creep into our game, we have known about it for years...
