Have a day off. This is an absolute burglary. First shot on target. |  |

TBF by the letter of the current law it's a correct decision. I don't think it should be but I'll take it |  |

A shot on target is where a shot hits the target. That was our first one. |  |

Its not, because its deflected off someone close by. |  | |  |

His hand was above his head in an unnatural position. Ball was headed against it by our player. Ball drops to the floor. Penalty no doubts. |  |

You could be more polite and measured about that. Appears it has been changed for the worse AGAIN. Though arguably, jumping involves arms and it was not an unnatural position anyway. |  | |  |

Subjective decision. Looked like he was jumping to try and catch the ball. |  | |  |

Fed up with people being so confidently incorrect online, sorry It came across that way. But I couldn't be bothered to re-write what I already wrote. Initially yes his arms were in a natural position, but he made no attempt to lower them afterwards, so at that point it was extremely unnatural |  |

I disagree. Try jumping with hands at your side. The handball rule is a bin fire. It worked when you gave a ref proper discretion to assess whether it was intentional. I would agree with adding a "if it leads to a goal, its handball anyway". Beyond that, all the changes are an absolute mess. |  | |  |
If that's a pen on 22:15 - Aug 8 with 1967 views | tonybied | Doesn't matter that it was close, the rule is and has been for a year now, if it touches the hand, and the hand is in an unatural position, it's a pen. No arguments! |  | |  |

Agree with all that. It's brainless. We grabbed a point and that's class for us but it's a garbage rule. |  |

Yeah, total madness. Goals are so rare and so hard to score that to give a team an 80% chance of scoring for something like that is just so stupid. |  | |  |

You didn't read what I said did you Yes you obviously jump with your arms BUT he left them up when he landed... Watch it back, he kept his arm up and the ball hit it so it's a pen by current rules |  |
