But it becomes a handball when the law is he can't handle the ball, surely? Christ, I'll happily keep Pope knowing whenever the striker charges him down he can just pick the ball up and we can get all 11 men on the line and a yellow card.

It's no different to it he picks it up from a passback. You wouldn't get a red card for that. It's exactly the same thing. Passback not a handball.

Ronaldo Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Are Bournemouth really a threat to us? I mean maybe they are if we want to finish top 8 instead of top 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope handballs it 35 yards from goal, red card. Palmer handles a backpass stopping a goal, yellow and indirect free-kick. Doesn't add up to me. He's illegally denied a goalscoring opportunity.

It's just not a handball though because he's a goalkeeper in his box. The passback rule was brought in to prevent time wasting and improve the flow of the game. The punishment for it has always been an indirect free kick, I don't understand why you think the goalkeeper should be charged with a handball punishment.

Yeah agree, same as Morecambe, other than the short period they both spent in L1, they’ve been flirting with dropping out the league for years.

Groundhog63 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Back on the subject of that Ipswich back pass fuck up and subsequent free kick. The Wolves gadge rolled the ball backwards for the other one to take the shot, I thought you couldn't do that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
