Match Day Thread NUFC vs Arsenal

Agree with this - if it hits your hand it's handball - regardless of intent, proximity, etc. Sounds harsh but there is no grey area and everyone knows where they stand.

 

what if ball hits your hand where you hands are protecting your balls ??

would that lead to a black and blue area

 

Unlucky - take it like a man and take a couple of deep breaths.

 

Nobody’s saying otherwise but if it hits your hand then tough ****. Free kick or penalty

 

If they've got no hands you're stumped.

 

The problem with the current model is the ambiguity of the current rules - If Elanga kicked it off Gabriels leg and then it hit his hand its not a pen but what actually happened was Gabriel kicked it off Elanga and then it's hit a raised arm but still no pen given... there's to many questions and variables with the current set up.

Black and White - ball hits hand, handball given.

 

Now there’s a thought…… you can have £100k a week but your arms need removed

 

...if the player objects just tell him it's a bit of armless banter.
