lnkstern Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 Is there any sort of quick concise summary of handball nowadays? This is more a complaint than a request for any sort of in-depth answer. I freely admit I am not a scholar of the 'rules of the game.' Back in the day, it was 'deliberate handball.' Then it seemed to have evolved to 'hand in an unnatural position.' Now, I just don't know. I see non-deliberate, non-unnatural position contacts happen -- some are penalized, some not. Perhaps I am just crotchety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also automatically an offence if the arm is above shoulder height. There is now no handball if the ball is deflected onto the arm, or if the ball hits a player using his arm for support.” I was just looking it up, interesting bit in bold so the goal should have stood? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. That is fairly concise -- "unnatural silhouette" or "arm above shoulder". Of course I am sure there are numerous caveats we could discuss ad infinitum...

Hollyfox Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 I'm trying to think of something worse than going to a Tottenham v Southampton game and having to listen to the constant drone of 'When the Saints /Spurs go Marching On' for 90 minutes. Maybe having a seat next to Glenn Hoddle, just to top it off. 🙄😕😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
