It used to be a way to sell it to the audience at the begininng but now it's pointless, even more so in England where they did everything in their power to feck it up...

Never gonna happen here.
Ah fair enough, I just remember them being similar incidents that didn’t lead to much action. Nothing much in it anyway as you say.
No
So if I get pushed into the ball and it hits my arm, I get punished? Seems odd but fair enough I guess.
If you get fouled you get a free kick. If you don’t, you don’t. It clearly wasn’t a foul, it only happens because Hudson Odoi puts his arm up.
hahaha god I remember when that came out, there was absolute hell on
I probably wouldn’t care if it was at least acknowledged it happened. Sky sat and watched replays of it and it’s not at least a talking point? The scrutiny of any decision United gets is clearly causing implications. That can only happen when people completely ignore things that potentially go against us and only shows those that do.
Not very likely.
He didn't get pushed though.
Ref could've though CHOs hand was moved to the ball (not on purpose) by Greenwood as Greenwood was running.
We know the ref didn’t look at that still though. We could see the angle he was looking at.Ref could've though CHOs hand was moved to the ball (not on purpose) by Greenwood as Greenwood was running.
Look at the pic below. I'm not saying that he didn't handle it or that Greenwood fouled him, just looking for a possible reason the ref didn't give it!
It's Attwell, he's incompetent.Ref could've though CHOs hand was moved to the ball (not on purpose) by Greenwood as Greenwood was running.

yep this, unless CHO walks like an Egyptian that's a pen all day long under the ridiculous laws we have in place now

Sure but I'd just love to know his reasoning, he must have came to the decision somehow.
scared to give a pen
If he thought giving that pen would lead to less media coverage than not giving it, he's thicker than he looks.
He thought it would lead to more coverage than not giving it I would have assumed
Why do you think that was
If it's going to be equally shit, then please don't.
Why look at photos when you have the video of it? This image means absolutely nothing.Ref could've though CHOs hand was moved to the ball (not on purpose) by Greenwood as Greenwood was running.

That photo is incredibly clear and shows the point CHO handled it (and Greenwoods arm right underneath CHOs hand).
Thats not what the rule says though. Youre making it up as you go along here
Yes good discussion. I think everyone can agree that handball is a mess and needs clarity. I just thought this was a fairly simple one - it’s like the Pogba one I flagged earlier or the Smalling one versus Torino last year. There’s no way they intended to handball it but it’s usually regarded as a clear penalty when you can avoid a handball and it’s your own clumsiness which prevents you from doing so. The number of handballs which are truly “deliberate” in the area has always been minimal.
Why does that matter? So what we've reached our quota and the refs can't give anymore?
That also shows Greenwoods arm right underneath CHOs, thanks. I think the mystery is solved.Nope.
I've acknowledged repeatedly that I understand that it isn't what the rule states. I'm talking about how it has been interpreted historically.
This sums it up perfectly.
You should’ve stopped typing here. Nothing else is relevant to the incident in question.
Wouldn't surprise me if it's Attwell giving itI have no doubt we will see a similar incident soon and a penalty will be given.
Wouldnt surprise me if Chelsea get one vs Liverpool now
That would be delicious. The only thing nicer than a win against a side you don't like is winning with via debatable call.I have no doubt we will see a similar incident soon and a penalty will be given.

I agree nothing wrong with the discussion, that is what a forum is about.
Common sense, real time officiating that VAR has eradicated from the game, leaving us with the handball farce we’ve been enduring this season.
