its clearly accidental and had not part in how the goal was scored

If the ball don’t hit his arm he then doesn’t get control of the ball and wouldn’t be able to set up the goal

Apparently if it hits a hand it's a free kick.

 

There are so many examples of this not being followed this season though.

If the ball hits an attackers hand/arm in the build up to a goal accidentally or not, it's disallowed

Fabianski would have saved that goal Martin let in.  West Ham's record is so poor without him.  Wonder if he'll be out for long?  Could they actually drop?

They have to give it in fairness. We ask for consistency 

Yep.

 

We've seen it ourselves at the KP this season.

 

In some incidents it's been fair but tonight that's harsh, Sheff Utd player headed it onto Rice's arm, what can the poor guy do in that situation?

well harsh when you consider that if it hits the defenders arm it's not handball but if it hits the striker's arm it is. how can that work.

Right. 

 

Anyone questioning that needs to realise the hand aids Rice being able to play the pass and assist Snodgrass. 

 

The hand doesnt come into play that phase of play doesnt happen and Rice gets forced wide. 

 

Quite simple really. 

 

I would argue however that's point blank range but yeah, handball.

Not really. Takes away the interpretation angle of different referees views and it's clear for literally everyone. If the ball hits the arm and it leads to a goal, it gets chalked off. Simple as.

State of Sheffield United fans celebrating it. Wasn't a long ago they were all saying how bad VAR is after the Newcastle game.

but how can it be handball if the striker does it but not handball if the defender does it, just because of what happens 30 seconds later? it's absolute bollocks.

Clubs signed up to this. Clubs can get rid of it if they want.

 

Up to them now to accept it or change it.

Can they? Thought it was Premier League deciding it?

Yeah that point I'll agree with in that it's odd for attackers and defenders. But everyone knows that's the case and people blaming VAR here are pointing their anger in the wrong direction...

Its a shit rule that's completely inconsistent with how handball is applied otherwise. It's absolute nonsense to have a rule that depends entirely on the outcome of the situation. The funny thing is, if Snodgrass has the option to square it and they score from that it's not disallowed, yet what would really be the difference

Yeah it definitely is a harsh rule

You can't celebrate a goal anymore.

 

The first thought after every goal now is what will VAR have spotted.

The West Ham players, manager and fans seemed to celebrate.

If he doesn't control it with his arm the goal doesn't go in. I have no issue with those getting ruled out.

Totally agree - where is the problem .....the contact with the arm creates the chance for the pass and the goal ......that’s what the new law is for ....hands and arms cannot be involved in scoring goals .........whether it’s the scorer or the creator of the scoring opp ......I like the rule - the defender will argue that he got his head to it to clear and rice’s arm gets in the way ....

 

I appreciate people will argue about it being different for defenders and contact with the arm but that risks people just blasting the ball at arms or flicking it at hands in the area to get pens ......
