Today's Football 2018-19 Season

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

Ah well, another PSG bottle job. They're making a habit of this.

 

[Tubey]

what current rules??? The handball rule hasn't changed! Handball has to be deliberate.

Next season is when it changes

He's made the conscious decision to turn his back on the ball and in doing so put his arm in an unnatural position.

It's therefore a deliberate attempt to block space with all parts of the body with no control over your action in flight.

It really is a definite penalty. The question is whether it should work that way.

 

[Tin-Tin]

What a result from Utd and Solskjaer, nerves of steel from Rashford too.

Thought it was a pen myself as he looks, then lifts his arm as he turns his back. He knew what he was doing.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Think Emery got sacked for that Barca defeat so think Tuchel will be on his way soon.

 

[TheBigIguana]

There isn't a bigger fraud in world football then Thomas Tuchel

Think it's now clearer than ever and a little worrying for when it comes over here but VAR is only as good as the officials who use it.

I was under the impression for a long time that VAR was going to ruin the RS’s luck but thinking about it again it’s just going to give the officials twice as many opportunities to give them the advantage

thats utter wham. Its not an offence to turn your back on the ball! His arm was in a completely natural position when you are turning your back.

in fact forget all this [Poor language removed] natural crap... the rule states handball has to be deliberate

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

But then equally there has to be a concrete definition to unnatural

I think his arms were in a natural position

They were by his side and he wasn't trying to move them in the direction of the ball

 

[DanEFC92]

Kimpembe’s elbow was away from his body a little bit and based on the direction the ball deflected, it wouldn’t have hit his arm if he had kept it right by his side. I understand the call, could have accepted either decision, just really unlucky to have such a close call right at the end with so much on the line.

Difficult to jump without raising your arms.

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Think they have a better squad than United tbh. I mean the main thing you need to win things is a strong defence, spurs defence is a good two or three steps above united's options. All opinions I suppose. What spurs lack in money, they make up for in getting top class players cheap with low wages and I presume good bonuses, which is the way all clubs should act to get the most hungry players performing.

No time to answer as united the topic now, but they had injuries to a lot of key men when they went out the cups

How so?

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Bye bye United

What?????

 

[toffeejack]

Ha, hate United, but I don't care about that cup, it'll wind the kopites up no end, especially when they rest players for the Derby.

But psg, I hate them, glad they're not winning the CL again by trying to buy it. They're a farce.

 

[Frang]

We have a manager.

Yeah OK m8

I mean a real one like

They've never won it
