Gonzo79 13,743 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The handball rule did swing far too much into them all being given and now has come back to a more common sense approach, where the referee/VAR can make a decision on a case-by-case basis. If you get a shot blasted at your face from a couple yards, then it's instinctive to raise your arms to protect yourself. I prefer the current approach. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is similar to blowing up for every contact (football generally) to now allowing play to flow more. And as you say, the inconsistency has brought confusion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no penalty (along with 49,000 others, would still have been screaming for one had it been at other end).... But it did hit his hand.

Enlarged 😁 Well, it's grainy, and is taken from an unidentified source, and enlarged. Not worth consideration. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
