Since the PGMOL insists on a literal interpretation of the rules 20:55 - Aug 30 with 890 viewsITFCSG

Next match GON should train our players to punch or push the ball onto the opposing defender and ensure it ricochets off into the net, goal will stand

Let’s see.

But that would be a deliberate handball and would be ruled out.

Maguires goal stood because it was deemed an accidental handball (not deliberate) but sufficiently came off Greaves t8 be classed as an own goal.

Not sure why people aren't getting this distinction

We don't know yet if VAR looked at the handball and confirmed accidental, or if it just waved through the referee's decision and didn't look at it. Certainly on the TV it was just looking at Greaves. We await the VAR transcript. (I think it was handball by Maguire and should have been overturned)

They've pushed themselves in a corner by taking away any subjectivity unfortunately.

This is why I'll never understand why they don't just have a challenge system that allows the ref another look.

He would give that as a free-kick every day of the week and absolutely nobody would complain.

If inconclusive, decision stands, review kept. So simple.

Oh I absolutely get it. It's just an absolutely daft rule. He got the ball back by using his hands, full on, intentional or not.

The ref should have blown for the initial handball when the entire defence saw Maguire handle the ball as if he was playing basketball and raised the alarm. Yet the ref allowed play to go on. And we all know what happened next.

Just like in law, if there is a chain of events leading to a goal the entire chain of events needs to be looked at - "causation" instead of just the end result. It is also why courts have moved away from literally interpreting statutes, allowing judges to depart from the ordinary, literal meaning of a word if using that literal meaning would lead to an absurd or unreasonable result

It also means our defenders in that instance have to assess that "accidentally " handball as such and stop playing !... its ridiculous. Whats the argument then?... you should play to the whistle, thanks , there was no whistle so how do we know hes already assessed it as a type of handball at all... those three examples in the law wording are completely an ass and whoever coigned them is completely incompetent!

Playing to the whistle is useless when there is VAR.

If there is VAR, the reviews should follow a similar logical interpretation similar to how judges interpret the law - with flexibility and taking into context the whole situation instead of a literal approach leading to illogical and unfair outcomes. If Maguire did not use his hands to push the ball to his feet there would be no shot to hit Greaves and deflect into the net

Town were in a good place for 56mins; then an outrageous decision by BlueBoots 30 Aug 18:53
One of our players tries to score that 2nd Man U goal at Old Trafford, the ref either blows his whistle immediately for deliberate handball, or VAR chalks it off, using that as the excuse; bent as hell.
