If Joelinton scored himself it would have been ruled out. That he passed to someone who passed to someone it isn’t.
It’s ridiculous. lol. If it wasn’t blocked by his hand (unintentionally or not) then it doesn’t get to Gordon.

What about the one that hit dier on the hand when he had his eyes closed with his hand behind his back.
That fucked us. Then I think they changed another rule. Bottom line is we get fucked with Bullshit handball decisions then they change the rules.
Sissoko, dier, moura,Joelinton……
It was 100% handball, I was livid and can't understand people saying his hands by his side. It's given by the red 99% of the time and VAR the other.99%. comparing to the moura wasn't relevant as the rules changed.
So it gets given 198 times out of 100?
Damn, we are properly unlucky at those odds.
He said .99So it gets given 198 times out of 100?
Damn, we are properly unlucky at those odds.
Oh well I look a bit of a tit now don't I?He said .99
It was a decimal point not a full stop for those those who didn't do a level math = 0.99So it gets given 198 times out of 100?
Damn, we are properly unlucky at those odds.
It was a decimal point not a full stop for those those who didn't do a level math = 0.99
So what happens the other .01 of a time then?It was a decimal point not a full stop for those those who didn't do a level math = 0.99
There is no set of rules that would lead to people always being happy. I think the current rules are pretty good. The real fucked up decisions are ones like:
- Sissoko CL final
- Lucas Moura against Southampton above
- Eric Dier hands by his side
Under the current rules none of those would be a handball offence.
If your hands are by your side / its accidental then it’s not a handball offence UNLESS you then go on to score yourself. I think those rules are fair.
Fans do need to keep up a bit and understand the rules. It doesn’t help when they seem to change every year but the current rules are about as good as it gets.

It's against us and its a goal
You'll see the same handball as yesterday given handball under these current rules. The situation, his hand being enough away from his side and moving towards the ball.
Gordon scores a goal obvs
At the margins you will always get controversial decisions. How can there possibly be an exact moment where hands are in a natural vs unnatural position? Now account for changing direction and speed of different body parts, the distance the ball is struck from, the speed of the ball, other irrelevant factors like where on the pitch the players are…
Fundamentally close decisions will always rely on judgement and reasonable people can disagree. That’s the nature of the sport. Nothing will ever change that.
Managers and the media instrumentalisé that and they have a captive, highly emotive, highly biased audience. This makes dozens of calls a game potentially controversial when really you have good faith referees making extremely fine judgements under immense pressure. Adding fuel to the flames doesn’t help.
Yes, you will - confirming yet again that referees are cunts. Also, as it was a clear & obvious error by the referee, why the hell did VAR not get involved? Because they're a bunch of cunts too. Incompetent or biased or both? Who cares - at the end of the day they're just a bunch of slimy, untrustworthy cunts.
The referees are doing a generally good job under real pressure.
The cunts are people like you who don’t know the rules and find reasons to complain and insult people doing a fine job. Concentrate on the football instead of whining like a brat.
You're my Dad, aren't you?
ps - fuck off back to PSG if that's your attitude to Spurs being done by refereeing decisions yet again.
It's controversial that it was given, not so much if it wasn't.
Broadly yes but it wasn't just a handball - it was effectively a through ball...
