If you're argument is based on the notion that the ball might have been going in, then you really have no argument. It quite clearly wasn't. Come on pal, that's not even debatable.

I actually hope you are joking

If you're saying it's common sense to suspend a player who handballs a shot that is going out for a goal kick, then I have to disagree. If you're generally slagging off the FA, then we probably have some mutual ground.

Ttliv, did an Arsenal fan say this...
"Anyway, can you imagine that being Suarez, the witch hunt would be unbearable with all the jealousy fans we've thumped this season please be good Saurez!"
?


Always the victims!

I feel like the smiley is very over-used. If someone had told me on saturday that someone would have used this smiley to represent their thoughts on the idea that the ball wasn't going in I wouldn't have believed it.

I don't really know what to say mate. It wasn't going in, and you know it wasn't. You are deluded if you think otherwise.

Suarez is very relevant here. He stopped a clear goal with his hand against Ghana in SA. That's a very good example of a red card handball.

its the intent i'm talking about, he dived and stuck out his hand

why would he do this unless he thought the ball was going in

the fact its going wide is by the by, however the rules be the rules.

As has been previously mentioned, the rules on sending offs for handball offences don't mention intent.

as previously stated once again that is fackin ludicrous and makes no sense, but hey that's the FA

Actually, using the logic of most Arsenal fans on here, Chambo should be put on the bench for being thick enough to stop a certain Arsenal goal kick with an outstretched arm

Should Rafaels handball against your lot been a straight red?

This argument of intent is utter nonsense. If a last-man defender drags back a striker who is clear on goal only to realise the ref had already blown for an earlier offence, the defender should still be sent off because of his intent?

It makes perfect sense. You just don't want it to. You think players should be sent off for deliberate handball if it is going out for a goal kick? Regardless of what the player thinks, that would be ludicrous.

Couldn't have put it better. It's just people believing what they want to believe because they don't like arsenal. Which is fair enough, that's football fans for you, but the arguments have no real basis.

How has Chamberlain got away with this?Why has he been cleared?
=================================
Because he didn't get a red card? FA do not interfere with what goes on/ happened on the pitch unless it's to do with violence/violent conduct. They don't have the right to award a red card if it was missed by the ref. They can only give out suspension for violent conduct missed by the ref.

Oh was there a controversial decision on Saturday? Didn't notice

I was too busy revelling in how great we played and how shít Arsenal played

Seems i was the only one

Maybe he felt conceding the penalty would be more advantages than a goal kick to to his own team, the rate they were shipping in goals he might have been correct, the resulting confusion delayed Chelsea's next from the spot by a few minutes, could have been sooner from goal kick

Don't be stupid. Every situation is different, obviously a handball in the corner of the penalty area isn't a red card offence.
But the situation of Saturday's game was Chamberlain has delibrately stopped a ball he believes is going in.
I know what the rules are but the fact is, Chamberlain has got away with it.



Twice.

But the bloke in the corner of the box believes a goal is going to be scored if he doesn't handle it, so why should he not be sent off?

Ok, I'll clarify.
For whatever reason, Azpilicueta is stood on the corner of the penalty area right next to the touchline.
Giroud slice's his shot (this might be easier for you to imagine then you'd like).
It's obviously going well wide but for whatever reason, Azpi has a mad rush of blood to head and leaps with his hand out to stop the ball going out of play.
This is incredibly stupid but not red cardable.

posted on 24/3/14

Why not? How does the ref know his intentions? Maybe he thought the ball was spinning into the goal?
Why is it different to Chamberlains mad rush of blood that saw him handle a ball going for a goal kick?

Or are refs meant to read minds as well now?
