Premier League 2020/21 Thread

Recommended Posts

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.

Good grief. How long has McManaman had this runny nose? Seems like months now. 'Sniffles' McManaman I'm going to call him, although that makes him sound like a Jazz musician.

Take Kane or Son out of this Spurs team and they look a bottom-half team.

 

But they always win something in a year ending in a 1.

 

Except when they don't.

“The IFAB have now confirmed that a handball will be awarded if a player makes his body an "unnatural silhouette", i.e. making his body bigger with his arm. 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?

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...

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. 

🙄😕😕

Yeah unfortunately some rules are sometimes more guidelines and refs discretion then actual rules
