Keyblade Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 5 hours ago, Genie said: I agree, it’s taking a lot of the spontaneous emotion out of the game. Previously if the flag was down it’s a goal. Now it’s not clear if the linesman knows it’s offside but doesn’t flag because he’s told not too even though it is. Then they check offsides and handballs from 3 attacks ago. Bullshit. It's all fine when you're on the advantageous side of the spontaneous emotion. When the linesman isn't clear if it's offside even if it clearly is, and your team suffers because of it, it's not so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be taken away. Humans being humans is more acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no robots involved, it's classic, old school premier League refereeing crap we always used to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitized43 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 9 hours ago, Vive_La_Villa said: This new handball rule makes me want to cry. The problem is the removal of the "Deliberate" criterea. It used to be that you would need to make a move toward the ball (i.e. to block). Taking that away means someone can blast the ball at you from 3 yards or in Diers case yesterday you can literally have your back to play and it's given...It's madness. You can see the players claiming handball for literally everything now - way more than it was last year, although admittedly it was bad before.

penguin Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I don’t understand why they’ve done it. I don’t know or have even seen a single person who likes this rule change. It’s an absolute farce. The sheer volume of penalties given for essentially unavoidable nonsense is making luck or the “handball lottery” a fair greater determinate of results than any should be remotely happy with.

Possibly. There's a thread on here though where we were discussing the handball rule (I think it came off the back of some nonsense decisions in the 2018 World Cup?) - I remember very clearly having a discussion with someone who was of the opinion that every single time the ball hits the arm/hand it should be a penalty. I think the point was maybe not that it's "right", but that it makes things very clear and removes the "was it or was it not intentional?". (FWIW, I completely disagreed and what we've got at the moment is a **** mess ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I LOOOOOVE the VAR ! (Right now. For once. When Fulham scored I had a very horrible feeling that it was the start of a stunning comeback. I felt a big relief when VAR cancelled it, phew!) :s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted September 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Another subjective call on handball. How could they allow jota's goal to stand with all these peno decisions over the weekend? Sky kinds of brushed it off as if there is " nothing to see here " Edited September 28, 2020 by HongKongVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
