Unnatural arm position is only for ball to hand accidental hand ball, not for deliberately controlling the ball. Maybe the most senior ref in the league got confused too.Unpopular opinion, but I dont think Oliver got the hand ball wrong. At least in line with the rules. It wasn't an unnatural arm position and if it was the other way around and they gave hand ball, I think it would be harsh.
Not saying he's a great ref by any stretch. Just think you're all clutching here.

Unnatural arm position is only for ball to hand in the box for penalties, not for deliberately controlling the ball. Maybe the most senior ref in the league got confused too.
If a defender did this in the box it would be a penalty.
There's a difference between the ball being pinged at you and it hitting your arm and using it knowing it's going to help to control the ball whether it's in a natural position or not and just because the arm isn't in an unnatural position doesn't make it not handball.
Perhaps my understanding of the rules are wrong then but I think regardless of where an incident happens (in a box or at the half way line) the rules should be consistent. Maybe that's the issue with the current rules.He leant his arm to the Ball and the contact took the ball past tarks.
The fact his arms by his side is irrelevant in this instance as he still lent into the ball
Tbf they are, the unnatural arm position rule does apply everywhere for accidental ball to hand (not just the box, I got that wrong). Arm position doesn't matter if the movement towards the ball is intentional.Perhaps my understanding of the rules are wrong then but I think regardless of where an incident happens (in a box or at the half way line) the rules should be consistent.

You're correct. I always run at full pelt to meet a ball played from 30 yards away with my arm tight against my side.Unpopular opinion, but I dont think Oliver got the hand ball wrong.

Obviously the "natural" part of the rule is debatable. But given how the officials have treated the rule this season, I would say its "natural"You're correct. I always run at full pelt to meet a ball played from 30 yards away with my arm tight against my side.
