Didn’t even show a replay
Don't know. Was a thread on Reddit.
Or the one last season vs Sheffield - when Mouramakes me livid, we get that utter bullshit one given against Doherty, luckily it mean't little in the context of the game and both Woolwich and Chelsea have clear handballs totally ignored.
You can't tell me its not all bought and paid for now, they aren't even trying to hide it now. Just mugging the fans off openly.
Don't think they'll be ahead that much in many matches anyway to be honestWest Brom will now doubt themselves everytime they go up 2 or 3 goals in a game.
Bad day, psychologically, for them.
They changed the rules for handball now it has to directly lead to a goal.
However how much more direct it could be I dont know he laid it off for the bloke to shoot with his hand.
Fucking joke
How can they change that rule but introduce a rule that if a ball strikes a defender even accidently off a deflection coming at 100mph from a yard away is awarded as a penalty??
Whoever makes these rules needs fucking shooting, utter utter cuntbags.
Ruining the game
I assume it's still the same area of the arm. Dunno how they measure it exactly though tbh.What if a player wears long sleeve? Are the sleeves the same size.
They didn't even fucking win the match.BBC ... "Chelsea complete stunning fightback"
:mourfacepalm:
They changed the handball rule from last season after the Moura incident. Now only handball like the Ings one from the other week will be called handball by an attacking player. Although to me the Havertz handball looked closer to the Ings one than the Moura one.
However, they fucked up the handball rule for defending teams. I still don't understand how they gave handball to Doherty one. Double deflection and the player was literally only half a yard away. That can only mean they're calling handball whenever the ball hits the hand (below the sleeves) of a defender. So by that logic, if a defender did the same thing Havertz did, he'd be penalised and a penalty would be given. That is ridiculously unfair for defenders.
