The_Steve Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 We should just coach players to head the ball into the opposition’s arms. The rules are that absurd and far removed from the realities of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Honestly think they should change the rule for these type of handballs, just give an indirect FK in box like you do with backpass. Penalty if player blocks a shot on line or in six yard box sticking their arm out. Too many penalties being given now and it's an easy way to score especially as a few that will be missed will be retaken if keeper is off his line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Referees have always been extremely selective on which rules they strictly enforce. Wish they’d just go back to common sense on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The rules are being interpreted wrongly and selectively, and VAR refuse to overrule obvious mistakes because it shines a light on the awful standard of officiating. Best league in the world though. Absolute joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted September 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2020 Football was so much more fun without this shit and just giving referees the 'referees a rocket polisher' treatment. Who actually enjoys it anymore? I don't celebrate goals inside the stadium anymore because I don't want to feel foolish celebrating a non goal.

MachoFantastico Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Absolutely disgraceful. Disgusted by football at the moment, how is that a penalty? I can't stand Spurs but they have every reason to be angry about that. Awful decision making from poor referees yet again. On a side-note, how awful are Newcastle.

Every team needs to get a six foot ten striker who can head the ball downwards into the box. When a team does this and wins four or five penalties in a game I have a feeling they'd change the rule.

Best league in the world though. Absolute joke. Same in Serie A and in Real Betis-Madrid yesterday you got one where defender was falling and ball hit his hand. I thought that was a pen actually but given some of the joke ones given it probably wouldn't have been given 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s heading that way. Just ridiculous. Get a specialist long ball into the box for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 At some point teams will have to start tying the arms of defenders behind their backs to stop conceding stupid so called handballs like this. What a farce, the FA are a complete joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) If an attacker is 1v1 with a defender in the box he should try and chip it up to the defenders hand/arm to win the pen rather than take him on.
