There's even a clause in the new rule that strengthens the case that it should not have been a handball.

Sorry but this arent IFAB instructions. However IFAB reports that if the ball hits the hand from another player who is in a close position an offence should not be awarded.
 
FUCK THIS SHIT BENT CUNT...
The fucking ARAB MONEY BUYS WINS...
Our soppy fucking dirty Jews can't BUY a win.

FOITBALL IS FUCKING DEAD NOW.

SEE YOU AFTER THE APOCALYPSE LOCKDOWN.... which isn't fucking happening any time soon, cos we're all soppy cunts who want the virus to kill EVERYONE!


FUCK THIS FUCKING WORLD

What is wrong with you? Expect that from Chelski or West Ham fans. Shameful.
 
Difference between us and silverware, going back to AVB, is we just can't make a fucking habit of getting a second and third goal in matches. Our goal/shot ratio in the past decade has to be way down the list.
Actually, it's pretty much the inverse. Kane and Son are both top-5 most efficient finishers in Europe as measured by G/xG across six seasons. Sometimes you just have unlucky games where the opposing keeper will play a blinder and you'll hit the crossbar when on another day, you'd have scored a screamer etc.
 
What fucking game were you watching?

The one where we had the ball the whole first half and couldn't get the ball in the back of the net. Then the second they actually came out of their shell and we couldn't get a shot on goal.

It was again, a display that makes me very hesitant to trust Jose. He was happy with it. 1-0 is his sweet spot and if it weren't for a shit rule, he would have been perfectly fine with the result..

How did you see it? Genuine question, not trying to prove a point.
 
Clearly the tactics in the 2nd were to protect the lead and counter attack, but you canā€™t do that with the new handball rule now. You just have to assume a pen will be called against you at any time.

Itā€™s rough though because we also have to preserve energy given the fixture list, so itā€™s a reasonable tactic that got foiled by an unreasonable rule.

When have we been good at sitting in a shell and holding onto a lead though? To pin this on the rule change is fine, but the bigger issue is just letting a team come back into the game and being okay with that.
