Handball rule

[majaco]

Your hand is in a natural position  if you are protecting Kevin de Bruyne's face.

[don_danbury]

favours the big sides mainly. it was clear evidence today. 

[Brainy]

I think generally if your shirt has King Power smacked on the middle of it, it's a penalty

And if you play for a team playing against such a side, there's no such thing as handball

[Guest Kopfkino]

The handball rule is the money teams get the rub of the green, the rest don't 

[JJD_LCFC]

If we were an "English top 6 side" the villa one would have been a penalty. Further evidence var only favours the big sides. Kelechi not even reviewed for a penalty today as well. 

KDB no pen, Praet definite pen. Football is a very strange game when you try and think logically. 

[themightyfin]

Sorry. For me it was a clear handball and a penalty all day long.

The VAR ref needs to lay off the crack when he is supposed to be working.

Funnily enough I spoke to a Villa fan after the game and he said "teams like us don't get those penalties, teams like Liverpool, Man U do"😂

KDB a clear penalty. He moved his hands to the ball; it was deliberate. If he did not want the ball to hit his head, he should have moved out the way. Same VAR ref didn't send send off lo celso for stamp on Chelsea player. I expect he won't be doung VAR duties for a while.

[Tom12345]

Indeed a clear penalty especially in light of the Praet penalty decision. The ball was on target, KDB hands were in the way, his hands should not have been raised especially when you are in the wall (you either use your head or move out of the way). Whether or not unintentional, that is a risk you take when you raise your hands. Clearly denied a goal bound effort. Clear penalty.

[splinterdream]

Everyone that's played football knows it's a peno, what's most bizarre is sky pundits questioning with it is a peno

[Dahnsouff]

The Praet and KDB penalty claims were different, Praets had no justification (Not reason) whereas you could argue KDBs did.

But, just cos he was being a wuss does not give him a free pass.

[Fox92]

If the ball hits your hand it's a pen..................... unless you play for Man United/Man City/Liverpool/Chelsea.

There aren't laws anymore, its whatever the f uck the officials feel like giving

[HybridFox]

What handball rule?

Hands not in a natural position = both penalties.

Making the body bigger = Praet penalty/ DeBruyne no penalty

 

So confused with the laws now I'm not sure which one applies.

[Guest foxestalkisfullofidiots]

They are either both penalties or both not a penalty, the fact that only one was VAR checked is a joke too

They were both check. Everything like that is checked. One took longer but they were both checked.

The KDB handball wasn’t checked, it was confirmed after the game on talksport that no check took place.

Because Talksport is always accurate 

 

Just because the ref didn't stand there with a finger to his ear and the screen didn't flash up doesn't mean VAR didn't look at it. It was quick, but they'll have looked.

TBF Laura woods is decent and knows her stuff but regardless the video ref has had a bad day if it did get checked but it just goes to show that the information needs to be better in the stadium

The game didn't stop, so they would have been checking whilst play continued. Had they decided it was a penalty they'd have told the ref to pull play back. That's why it doesn't appear on the screen. When the ball is dead and it takes 5 minutes pissing about looking at an offside, obviously it flashes up on the screen to let fans know what's going on.

 

But yes, it's a bag of shit, run by the same incompetent idiots on the field. If the must insist on using it, make the onfield idiot look at a monitor and have the final say.

I think I’ve had enough of football now purely because of the awful officials! Absolutely awful decisions countless times during a game... I hate all the bullshit constant diving all over the pitch, it’s blatant but refs give soft free kicks time and time again... then you include the handball v Villa that wasn’t given, the ‘high foot’ against Maddison which led to Villas winner, Kel getting his head punched off, no check, handball against KDB, no check, handball against Praet, check and given!

 

I like VAR but I hate the crap officials we have and all we have to do is accept it! ****ing joke!!

[Pliskin]

You could accept it before, but now they have assistance it’s completely unacceptable.
