Handball ref? Ref?

[RD2910]

Any accidental handball given so far. Keggers, Onana...

They're completely different?

Nope, they're accidental handballs inside the box. They have resulted a penalty thus the line has been "accidental handball=penalty".

 

[arch stanton]

If its Michael Keane it gets given.

Keano would've wellied it into the goal anyways so no need for a VAR check for handball

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

We need to go back to the days of ‘deliberate’ hand ball only as an offence. It takes away nearly all the ambiguity. Unless a player deliberately moves his hand towards the ball, no matter where or what position his arm is in, it’s not a foul

Ball to hand I think we called it on the park, no pen mate

 

[arch stanton]

the match referees and VAR's comms should be available to viewers to listen should they wish on a live stream, using the red button or other streaming tech. That way it is open honest and transparent and due to the Hawthorne effect will mean that they will improve their game.

Convinced VAR is a production for sport entertainment.
Pays to have teams scrapping for relegation until last day as much as many teams as possible vying for title.
It suited for dramatization purposes for Luton to pull away from relegation.

The rule should be shoulder to elbow is fine but forearm and hand are a foul. End of the day, it comes down to the officials.

yeah and plenty of kayfabe story lines around at the moment...

 

[Camboselecta]

Remember a few seasons back where if it hit your arm in anyway from any distance at any speed it was a pen? Almost Prefered that. At least you knew it was stupid but you knew where you stood. T

Well the feigning of head injury to break up play, Fulham are one of the worse sides out side the elitist six who act upon method of "sportsmanship". Loathed to be pulled into the debate cause it just feeds into it all. Better if we switched off and stopped going to be honest or at least not pay to watch... Tall ask, i certainly did not go to FA cup match because of all this nonsense would be a certain i go to these matches up to this season. No plans to go again this season and have spent the monies booking boat fishing trips...

 

[Tel001]

I guess the problem with Michael Keane is that he is generally a bit unnatural, so if it goes anywhere near his arm it is always a pen

Not when he sticks it in the back of his own net it isn’t

 

[Tel001]

If I was in charge we'd be top of the table with 66 points so far.

70… I would have taken 4 off RS and gave them to us for “ crimes of the past”

They've been used live in Rugby league for years, makes you wonder why.

and cricket. I mean that a live feed is constant, not just when there is an incident.

I think any hand/arm contact in the six yard box should be given
