I dunno, I guess you;d miss quite a lot, but the chances would be much easier to come about. You could probably have a good 30 attempts at hitting arms, but you don't get 30 changes created in a match very often, and its not like all of them chances will go in. I genuinely think we'll see managers telling players to take advantage of it, especially against packed boxes.You still have to manage to hit the hands. Imagine lobbing the ball at the arm and missing, how dumb you'd look and how mad your manager would be for giving the ball away like that.
That’s a bit stupid considering the new rules just make all handballs illegalAt this rate the name of the game will be changed - from football to handball. It's beyond ridiculous now.
Arsenal together with Liverpool and City own VAR. Us we get hurt by it.How did West Ham not get a pen yesterday for Gabriel's handball?
I do think people will actually start doing this a fair bit this season... Not all the time, but there will be attempts, and successful ones at that.Serious question: why would you bother trying to score goals now when you can just kick the ball at a defender's hands and get a guaranteed penalty?
Is that the actual rule anymore?Since when is it natural to run around with your arms pinned to your sides like a penguin?
Unfortunately, that is more or less the new rule, and it's absolutely wankIs that the actual rule anymore?
Serious question.
Is natural Vs unnatural position actually anything to do with it?
Why not just hits hand = free kick / pen
It's a big like hockey. Any touch with the feet in the D and it's a penalty corner. So teams constantly try to aim for opponents feet once they are in the D. It's crazy.Serious question: why would you bother trying to score goals now when you can just kick the ball at a defender's hands and get a guaranteed penalty?
Why though?Unfortunately, that is more or less the new rule, and it's absolutely wank

The players did it in Spain when handball was an automatic yellow regardless of intent. They just aimed for the handsI do think people will actually start doing this a fair bit this season... Not all the time, but there will be attempts, and successful ones at that.
If they're going to be daft about this rule then all penalty box handballs should just be IDFK in the box (unless it prevents a clear goalscorer opportunity)
Didn’t Mane do that to Sissoko in the CL final?Serious question: why would you bother trying to score goals now when you can just kick the ball at a defender's hands and get a guaranteed penalty?
Yeah they don’t have to approach a player waving their arms about like they do sometimes. But if they’re just running alongside a metre away, there’s nothing they can do.You can't just freeze frame the game and say, "Oh his arm is in an unnatural position"
The game is played at an insane pace now and players obviously have their arms out for balance, are rapidly changing direction etc
The Southampton penalty was laughable
He did. But the decisions rest with the officials. Poor calls all roundDidn’t Mane do that to Sissoko in the CL final?
No it isn't. He had one foot on the line. That is within the rules. DDG didn't have either.Why does VAR not let Chelsea retake the pen again today when Alison took a step forward before diving like every single keeper will do and like DDG did yday .. This is why VAR needs to feck off cause it's one rule one day and another rule the next
