Handball Rule , Is it spoiling football ?
One the big issue I have with football this season beside referee's and VAR is the handball Rule , Some of the penalties that have been given are imo totally accidental and very harsh . England's penalty against Italy was one were I don't think the Italian player deliberately handled the ball and was harsh . Joe Newell against Livingston when the ball hit his knee and then his hand is another very harsh decision
Last night one of the Spanish players was screaming for a penalty after blasting the ball at the Norwegian player , it did actually hit him on the hand though it wasn't given which was the right decision , they are imo getting given though, I suppose that's why more and more in games we see defender's keeping both arms behind there backs, would doing this effect a defenders movement or balance and give the attacker a slight advantage? . It use to be hand to ball now if you fire the ball at a defender you have a good chance of a penalty. Does anyone else think this or are you quite happy with the Rules on it ?
