  1. Who first came up with the 'unnatural position' argument anyway? It sounds like something that someone who people perceive as being cool said and has now stuck, despite sounding and being bollocks.

     

    A bit like 'red lines' that seemed to come from nowhere in the lead up to the general election.

     

    Or in simple terms, someone said something once, everyone else is to thick to realise that it is bollocks and just repeats it.

     

    Ita not bollocks at all, its not a law but its guidance on interpreting law 12 (page 125)

     

    Handling the ball

     

    Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into

    consideration:

    • the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)

    • the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)

    • the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an

    infringement

    • touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.)

    counts as an infringement

    • hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an

    infringement

     

     

    In yesterday case Mbemba has prevented Fellani from having a header at goal or to another Man Utd player. His arm was above his head which is an unnatural position and this its a foul and a penalty kick

    Where is unnatural position mentioned in the rules or interpretation of them?
