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.

I know, but that's not how it works. The reason there are so many contentious decisions is because there are so many interpretations of what's deliberate, what's a natural position, what could have been avoided, how close the player was etc. They've been given on many occasions for the same situation as that  because, presumably, it was interpreted as deliberate.
