Football is dead if it continues like this.
My first thought was the Martinez one.
What is the actual rule now with it coming off another body part first?
I'm Europe, I believe it's irrelevant whether the ball deflects off another part of your body
I’ve said numerous times the handball rule is a total fecking farce in Europe. Eriksen, Maguire and the one we got in Copenhagen were all totally farcical just like Martinez last season.
Should be an indirect free kick for handballs that aren’t shots on target blocked on the line or somethingI dont think VAR is the problem here, but penalty rules.
A penalty is 80% a goal. It should be awarded in similar cases as red cards - when the ref thinks a clear opportunity was taken away.
Not for a handball somewhere deflected in the box. That needs to change.
IFAB removed the part about it coming off another body part from the rule
In their guidelines for the next season, the Board recommends that UEFA should clarify that no handball offence should be called on a player if the ball is previously deflected from his own body and, in particular, when the ball does not go towards the goal.
McTominay was the worst though, a high boot is an indirect free kick, it can’t be a penYeah that is on par from when Martinez had a penalty given again him for hitting his thigh first then hand.
We've had a penalty given against us in all of our Champions League matches. The handball against Eriksen, which probably wouldn't be given in the Premier League. Two fairly blatant ones when Casemiro tripped the Galatasaray player and McTominay for a high boot against Copenhagen. Then in our last game Maguire was given one against him for handball when he raised his hand towards a Copenhagen player to jockey/get a touch on him and then we got given one that hit Maguire's hand first.
European refs seem to have a totally different tolerance on handball, although the PGMOL/ Premier League never really follow IFAB properly anyway.

Yeah and imagine the discussion on that, was it on target or not, especially when it's a curler that starts out 3 feet outside the postShould be an indirect free kick for handballs that aren’t shots on target blocked on the line or something
Newcastle game was fixed?
Never a penalty in a million years, not only does the ball deflect from chest to arm, there's no arm to ball movement and the ball only travels a half yard.
It's not deliberate and not in the guidance. What have VAR and the ref seen there?
You need to give refs that much freedom/trust in his expertise skills to decide.Yeah and imagine the discussion on that, was it on target or not, especially when it's a curler that starts out 3 feet outside the post
i agree on changing the box as another ssolution. But not awarding penalties for minor things must be an option for the ref too. (Yes yes what is a minor foul or minor handball? - well similar to last man red card vrs normal foul: decision by the ref if a clear opportunity was taken away by the action or not)I mean the easy solution to this is just to make the penalty box smaller (and why does it even have to be a box?). It's ludicrous that minor infringements in the corner of a box trigger the biggest punishment in the sport. But can't see anyone having the gumption to try it.
