Nah it has to go in from an action direct from the handball e.g. the player who handballs immediately scores in the same action.

 

Handball before scoring

The second change is on accidental handball in the immediate build-up to a goal.

If an attacking player’s accidental handball immediately precedes another player scoring, the goal will now be awarded, when last season it was likely to have been ruled out.

When I were a lad a handball was a handball, none of this interpretation or half a rule book to work it out

Bit like the goal Boro scored at Old Trafford? VAR will only disallow if the hand takes it in?

Or the player who handball scores.

 

So last season Alonso controlled the ball with his hand by accident then immediately scored. Handball. Had it come crashing off the post, hit another player and went in - it would've stood.

Because it was an own goal - it's a goal. Had it gone in directly - likely to be ruled off.

 

 

 


Wild! Thanks for posting this.

VAR makes the need for rules slightly convulated. If a players hand grazes the ball accidentally, 4 passes later it's then ruled off for handball. That's a bit annoying and shit for the game.

 

But also the Alonso example - is a bit shit for the game of football. This is a decent compromise.

Are we finishing above manu this season then?

 

Would love to believe we could. The door is surely open to someone. For a team located in the supposedly impenetrable top six, they're so flawed.
