AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I’d say probably 95% of handball decisions are wrong, maybe more. The vast majority of handballs are accidental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Players shouldn't be punished for accidental elbows that leave fractured cheeks, so I think we can let the odd accidental handball go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'd say the vast majority of handballs are not deliberate. It's not a natural thing to do when you're playing football, the only actual deliberate ones are those when they're trying to save a goal - Suarez, sTaylor, remember Nobby doing one. But pens are rarely for those kinds of instances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 When a free kick is close to the box and every commentator in the world going with the stock line of “It’s so close to goal, this. I bet he wishes it was a bit further back so he can get it UP AND OVER the wall.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's completely different though. You make a genuine attempt to get the ball when you tackle but you also accept the risk that if you mistime it, it's a foul.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yeah the law is different for both cases, an accidental foul is still a foul. I actually think they're enforcing the handball rule better nowadays tbh, it seems like more and more handball shouts are being waved away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, probably right, it's mainly the way commentators and pundits don't seem to understand the rule that gets on my tits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing devil's advocate here, same applies with blocking a cross. You see full-backs and defenders jumping up to block a cross, you similarly run the risk it hits your hand. If it's stopping a goalscoring opportunity I reckon it should be punishable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 International breaks. Not exactly a pet hate, I suppose, most people probably agree. I would have appreciated them as a break back when Spurs were mediocre, but now I'm just counting the hours until our next game. Plus, I'm bored of most narratives with England. If it's not idiots complaining about Southgate trying new things in friendlies - precisely when he should be doing that - it's the (not necessarily incorrect, but dull) clamour to switch one mediocre player for another, or complaints that our mediocre team are being mediocre and not playing exciting attacking football. Add in the utter cuntery that has returned to the fore in our support and, frankly, I'm getting too old for this shit. For years the problem was that we couldn't get our players playing as a team. Southgate has at least achieved that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, the Cardiff player today goes and puts them 1-0 up in a game which would pretty much put them in the PL and he walks off and stands still.
