Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Are the commentators not even going to mention the handball?

 

[jonnyboy316]

So those type of handballs are ok now?

 

[Mickey]

I thought if the ball hits the hand, accidental or not, during the process of scoring a goal it would be disallowed?.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

we probably want sheffield united to lose here but that goal has left a sour taste in my mouth let alone any of their fans

 

[PhilM]

But thats surely handball by Gordon?

I'm confused

Like we mentioned before, I have no idea of the rules any more. I had a Google and apparently, it now states it won't be penalised unless it's the scorer.

Although previously, "If an attacking player's accidental handball immediately precedes another player scoring, the goal will now be awarded." So who knows.

Year-on-year, the rules change.

Pope is very weak under high balls

 

[Ring master]

But thats surely handball by Gordon?

I'm confused

Thought same, thought if handball and it went direct to a player that scores, that goal is disallowed if handall was by accident or not.
But in other way if its handballed by one player then goes to another and then the 3rd player scores, its given as ok

 

[PhilM]

Pope is very weak under high balls

I really don't rate him that much. I suspect in a year or two, he'll be sent elsewhere.

 

[jazzy]

2-0 , all gravy for EFC

 

[Old Blue 2]

Barcodes doing us a solid now...

 

[Mozza1987]

Game is gone. That's a great tackle. Joke

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

If the Sheffield defender had concentrated on defending the corner rather than trying to rip the player's shirt off he would have done better.

 

[tsubaki]

that that challenge by Robinson is a foul, never mind a booking, is crazy

 

[Nymzee]

Sheff Utd are shabite

 

[tsubaki]

Game is gone. That's a great tackle. Joke

... and they score from it

scandalous
