Var debate 2019/20

Do you have a source for that?

Pablo ZZZ Peroni's post on page 111, includes the intended law changes, and then states

"Now, these rules aren't law until 1st June. However, the head of UEFA referees issued a directive to Champions League referees earlier in the year that they should apply ALL the new rules in Champions League knock-outs. For example, there are changes to what constitutes "deliberate" or not for penalties and based on the new definitions penalties have been awarded such as Rose and for United in the PSG game."

I believe the directive was from Roberto Rosetti

Thanks. I believe that is only Pablo's words though.

The only quote from Rosetti that I have found relates to defending only, and not offensive handballs. That quote was before the new rules were passed, and so couldn't logically include them, but was a guideline for existing laws.

There's a (probably partial) quote here:

I've not seen any ref or journo use a claim that the June 2019 laws were being used, and therefore I don't think they are.

I'm happy to be proved wrong, but haven't yet seen anything that backs up that a goal scored directly or indirectly off a hand would be disallowed this season.
 


The link above is where Peter Walton discusses the Lorente goal the day after the second leg. He says that the goal should be allowed. There has been lots of talk on here that the new laws from that are coming into place on June 1st were supposed to be used on CL last 16. As previos poster mentioned is there anything official that has been released from Uefa?

Ive been arguing it should have been disallowed. After watching the link above im not too sure now.

The guy is talking bollocks. You cannot have your goal assisted with the aid of an arm.
 
Does the current FIFA rule allow for goals to be scored or assisted with the aid of an attacker's arm?

Saw that ages ago, changes nothing(still going on about a law for blocking shots on goal here), there's about 3 refs that don't agree with him. Also when has Peter not tried to defend the ref? Dermot Gallagher >>> Peter Walton.
It's as I said, they aren't changing the rules June 1st, because refs would always have ruled that out if a player gained an advantage with the arm at all. Refereeing was never strictly by the letter of the law and VAR seems to change that. Should have done a re-write of the 100 year old laws long before VAR was brought to the CL.
 
Walton would have said accidental handball today if BT covered the game today

He would have ruled the goal out for a dangerous kick of the ball from Kun into the defenders chest as well!

I don't think that says anything about it, other than the rule of deliberate handball.

If a player had his arms crossed across his chest, is hit by a clearance on the arm, the ball then ricochets into the goal, that's off his arm, but I think most people wouldn't mind it being given.

The questions on Llorente to my mind are:
- was it deliberate? Did he play the ball with his arm (as opposed to being hit by it)?
I don't think so.
- was his arm away from his body?
I don't think it was, but this seems to me to be an area when a ref could see it either way within the laws at the moment.

To my mind, it's very much ref's call as to whether it's a freekick or not, and the laws don't help the ref out.

If a player has his arms on his chest and the ball accidentaly hits the arms and he scores from a follow up shot, should it be given? The issue here is not whether it was deliberate or not (even though I firmly believe it was deliberate; if you watch the video closely you'd see that he hits the ball slightly with his forearm and doesn't attempt to withdraw his arm even when he knew the ball was approaching his arm region) but that he gained an advantage to score a goal from an illegal part of his body.

There is no way a goal assisted with an attackers arm (no matter how slight) is permitted under the current rules.

You keep implying, that its debatable. I would totally agree, IF Eufa hadn't specifically issued a directive, stating that with the addition of VAR, the impending (June 1st) changes to the rules with regards to handball were to be implemented from the round of 16. Quite a few people have stately that, plainly, and unequivocally, on TV (including that cheating c**t Walton, whose initial response was "it hit his knee). They specifically referred many times to this directive, when discussing penalties at Schalke, PSG and Tottenham. The directive should have ruled Llorente's effort out, and they all eventually conceded as such, however the debate moved onto the angles shown to the referee. Had he been shown the correct angle, whereby the ball clearly hit his arm (Llorente admitted as much in Spanish Tv interview), the "goal" would and should have been disallowed. I'm sorry its not even debatable, and i repeat what has been posted many times (intent or body outline do not even come into it for an attacker!

Nobody needs to like the rule changes, but please stop saying they haven't changed them.

All of that I consider a valid opinion. I just don't think it's the only valid opinion possible.

I don't see how Llorente can take any relevance to the Schalke, PSG, and Tottenham ones, which were all defensive handballs. The only quotes I have found from Rossetti refer to defensive handball and were before the IFAB new laws were accepted. I have not seen anyone quote Rossetti with reference to an attacking handball or after the changes were announced.

Walton's 'knee' comment at the time was utterly absurd, of course.

We all saw Walton’s performances as a ref so his opinion is invalid , a more blatant cheat you will never find

That doesn't help him, I agree! Two or three times I've seen as BT ref and he's talked utter rubbish.


Regardless of Walton, as I see it, this one came down to:
- did Cakir see something that could make him disallow the goal?
No, obviously as the goal was given.

That being the case, for VAR:
- was he offered all angles, specifically the one from the rear post that has been stated as being in a box insert on his screen and not reviewed?
- if he was offered it, why did he not look?
- if he wasn't offered it, why not?
As we don't know the answer to those questions, it's impossible to have a definitive opinion on what happened with VAR, in my opinion.

From all that, would there have been a case under the laws to disallow the goal based on what Cakir saw? That is the point where I do not believe there to be a clear answer one way or the other.
