I really don't understand the handball rule anymore

 

It has to be deliberate I think. Tbf I don't think he deliberately blocked it with his arm, but it would have been a penalty in years gone by.

Even though we haven't quite forced this issue here, it's so great seeing us so comfortable and innovative in possession. Loads of neat touches, creative passes, passes at different length, working our way out of tight areas - everything good teams do. Longstaff is the one who stands out because he still hesitates but generally we use the ball really well and with purpose.

Not sure where else you would expect his hands to be when sliding in, hes just supporting his body weight.

 

 

The unnatural position argument is inconsistent. IMO the rule should be based on whether an arm is used to stop a cross or goal where there was no way the ball was being stopped if the arm wasn’t there, i.e. no other body part behind it.
