Exactly. It's like it's morally wrong to just hoof it. :lol:
It used to be even more annoying when teams kept the ball pointlessly, then it went back to the keeper who just lashed it for a total 50-50.
But the amount of goals gifted from the silly balls seems to get higher.

It was an overly casual pass made on his weaker foot. That and taking the first touch killed the clear angle on the pass to Luiz in the first instance.
It was a pretty risky ball for the keeper to play as it was.
Why play a ball to someone running into your own pen area, when he has a man on his back. Ludicrous.

Looking at this week's PL fixtures, I see a lot of potentially shite games.

Xhaka. :lol:

I can't believe he is still in the side, but I'm not complaining. Arteta deluding himself if he thinks he doesn't need a CM.

Xhaka is possibly the dumbest player in world football. Zero IQ.

Easy ball was on to Luiz first time with his right-foot, you do not get 2 touches in the PL in your own penalty area facing towards goal.

Yeah. Didn't need to take that 2nd touch.

Another game, another handball that is given 10/10.
fixed that for you. There’s no way that’s not a pen. His arm moves towards the ball from an outstretched position. Theyve made a pigs ear of these rules.

Is there a more badly officiated top league ? Not only ability of the officials but all the rules meddling?
