I’ve just heard this daft commentator comparing Tyrone Mings being released when he was younger for being ‘too small’ to ‘oh that Lionel Messi he’s a bit small isn’t he?’
:facepalm: f**k me.
And the current rules, are stupid. As that silly one in the Fulham game proves. (Now changed obviously)
Right angle, obtuse, acute I don’t care, defenders need their arms for balance when defending and someone kicking the ball at your arm from a yard away I will never consider a penalty, and...
I don’t understand the premise that any arm that isn’t right beside the body is an unnatural position.
If someone is 5 yards away and you can see movement towards the ball or it hits an outstretched arm then yes handball but not from a yard away, defenders can’t always defend with their hands...
Looked to me like Saka deliberately aimed the ball at his arm. One of the dangers we’ve mentioned of happening because of this nonsensical handball rule.
That screaming from Lacazette, absolutely embarrassing. Screaming whilst rolling around like a scared hedgehog, only to get up and walk away a few seconds later
Does McManaman have anything to say that isn’t a tired old nonsensical cliche? He’s also picked up that annoying Neville and Carragher trait of making weird noises in the background.
