There is no way that is a pen [emoji38]

 

Ball struck about 25mph from 1 yard away, arm in a normal position when jumping. Take his arm away and it'd of hit his torso anyway.

 

Think people need reminding the rule is that handball must be deliberate. There is no way he deliberately moved his arm to stop the ball then.

The 'natural sway of your arm' argument doesn't really work when you're diving in to block the ball. He makes a situation where his arm is out away from his body when he knows the ball is coming his way, it's his choice.

 

 

He didn't deliberately stop the ball with his arm, so it's not a penalty. There is no way in that short distance with the ball travelling that fast he'd have the time to think and put his arm in front of the ball (also noting his arm was stationary throughout and didn't move towards the ball).

 

There is no argument here, it's just simply not a penalty.

 

That's not how it works. [emoji38]

 

It would have been soft, but it's definitely in the 'seen them given' category.

 

It is like. Has to be deliberate.

:lol: no argument.

 

From Graham Poll

 

Regarding handball they now ask the referee to consider the proximity of the potential offender to the person last playing the ball, the speed of the ball and importantly whether the offender's arms are in a natural or unnatural position.

 

So the question of intent is now, did the offender deliberately place his arms in an unnatural position to increase the chances of the ball hitting him?

 

If the answer to that is yes then it is correct to penalise that player even though it used to be argued that was ball to hand.

 

The rules are nowhere near as simple as you're making out like, otherwise there would literally never be a penalty given for handball.

Those colour bar things on our keeper top are weird. Puma have given Arsenal them too. Looks like the thing on the bottom of a cereal box where they do the colour testing.

 

:lol:

 

Or the old in-between-the-adverts bit on Channel 5.

It's an old chant .. it's evolved from 'You black/fat bastard', depending, to 'oooorrrrrrhhhhh you're shit, ahhhh'.

Didn't hear it but you've probably answered your own question, the old schoolyard chant when someone was taking a kick was "wooooah you're shit AHHHHH!"

 

Not sure I've actually heard adults saying it before.
