[Albion] Premier League 6-8/3/21

[Kinky Gerbil]

I’m so sick of discussing handballs, sleeve offsides, toenail offsides, was it above forearm blablabla

It’s been great since VAR has come in and all that talk has finished....

What a load of tosh of an article

Agree, his arm is out wide and there is also movement of the arm.

The first contact isn't but the second one definitely is and I fail to see how the VAR didn't give that.

As for the red card, reluctantly agree it was correct to rescind.

Forwards are now deliberately chipping balls up to their opponents arms at near point blank range.

A ridiculous and unintended consequence of the silly new rule. Deliberate handball was the lesser of two evils. Imho.

Are they Brighton in disguise

Lol..personally I didn’t see that as deliberate

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 stuck to their sides it’s just ridiculous to expect that.

It’s never a penalty in a million years for me, at that range.

Quite like the view from the top of their biggest stand

Think Burnley getting a point just made it that little bit more important we get a result tonight. Don't want to start getting left adrift.

Chance to get to 15th. place, but the way this season has gone Burnley will probably nick something against Arsenal and remove that chance before we even set foot on the pitch!

Yep, thought so!

On the current rules that is a penalty....I don’t expect the arm to be the side or behind him..but at a right angle...hmm..most of them have been given this season..and that’s what we hate most ..the inconsistency

I can't see ours being much good at that.

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 for once I’m glad the VAR official used some common sense.

Yep the rules are being changed and haven’t yet ..as I said we all want consistency
