You’re not the first for that, once again that was my beloved club Spurs 3 seasons ago. We played Brighton at home, Tariq Lamptey hacked Hojbjerg in the build up for a goal. Ref didn’t give it and was sent to the monitor - he was at the monitor for about 2 mins, despite it being as clear as faaacking day.

Came back and upheld the goal. So we beat you to that one.

The handball yesterday was ridiculous though and felt like they wanted to give Arsenal a little consolation.

100% handball if that’s what you’re referring to.

Richard Masters Guest of Honour too.

Good performance from Everton, deserved the draw, we didn't show up.
Clear handball, not sure why Oliver of all people decided to give it, he's normally happy to screw us over

Tbf the club are unlikely to come out and say that it’s because he’s a massive cuuuuuunt, are they?

I thought it was an excellent decision and refreshing.

That should never have been sent for review by VAR.

If that goal had been important they would not have let it stand, I’m certain of that.

But as it was, it affected nothing and therefore no one really cares other than Everton.

I thought Everton played well - I’ve been saying on here for a few weeks now that Dyche isn’t getting the credit he deserves, he has performed superbly given everything that has gone on and the squad at his disposal. I get people don’t like the style, but I’m not sure there is another manager out there currently who could have done the job he has done at Everton

It was a clear handball yesterday. His arm was down but he ran towards the ball and controlled it with his arm. It wasn't ball to hand, or arm in this case.

Well the psychological bonus of a higher league finish and more cash…but yeah, let’s just let it slide.

Don't agree at all.

He was trying to keep his arm down and evade the challenge - didn't look any deliberate nature to it at all.

Should never have been picked up by VAR.

Deliberate or not, it came off his arm and Arsenal gained an advantage which lead to a goal.

So?

That's not the law, is it.

Well it is.

I use the penalty that Grealish conceded at Wembley last season as a benchmark now.

Not facing the ball, was being challenged by an opposing player when it happened, took a lengthy VAR check to decide it brushed his fingertip.

Presumbly you think Soucek's goal against City should have stood yesterday?

posted on 20/5/24

No it isn't, Boris.

You can try and bring other examples into it all you like, but what you've said is categorically incorrect.

Do you think Maradonna was unduly criticised in 1986?

posted on 20/5/24

You spelt 'I was wrong' incorrectly.

The second change is on accidental handball in the immediate build-up to a goal.

If an attacking player’s accidental handball immediately precedes another player scoring, the goal will now be awarded, when last season it was likely to have been ruled out.

However, a player will still be penalised if he commits an accidental handball immediately before scoring himself.
-------------------------------------------------------
That's the rule.

The question is was the handball by Jesus deliberate?

Most definately

What are you going on about?

You post something from the laws and then ask a question that has nothing to do with it.

There are two questions:

1. Did the ball hitting the hand immediately precede another play scoring?

Answer: No.

2. Was the handball deliberate?

I don't think it was.


You originally claimed that if the player gains an advantage from the ball hitting his hand, then it's an infringement. Which is completely wrong.

posted on 20/5/24

So an infield decision says no handball, same level of Ref in VAR room advises a check. Inconsistency here is the issue.

I've addressed the fact that the rules have changed but the more I look at the replays, the more I think it was deliberate.

No you haven’t.

Also, the rules were never as you claimed.
