So these new laws are unfair to the attacking team. If the same thing happened to a defender and it was accidental, it’s not a penalty, yet an accidental incident like Laporte’s yesterday is ruled out.
That is one stupid law!
So now we have two situations where the attacking team are being hindered. This, and if a player by all intents and purposes is level with the defensive line but could be 1mm offside, there is no benefit of the doubt and advantage going to the attacking team anymore, it’s 100% benefit of the doubt and advantage going to the defenders.

So by the new laws of the game it is an offence if a player gains possession/control of the ball after it has touched their hand/arm and then scores in the opponents’ goal, creates a goal-scoring opportunity or scores in the opponents’ goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental.HANDLING THE BALL
It is an offence if a player:
- deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, including moving the hand/arm towards the ball
- gains possession/control of the ball after it has touched their hand/arm and then:
- scores in the opponents’ goal
- creates a goal-scoring opportunity
- scores in the opponents’ goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper
It is usually an offence if a player:
The above offences apply even if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close.
- touches the ball with their hand/arm when:
- the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger
- the hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level (unless the player deliberately plays the ball which then touches their hand/arm)
Except for the above offences, it is not usually an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm:
The goalkeeper has the same restrictions on handling the ball as any other player outside the penalty area. If the goalkeeper handles the ball inside their
- directly from the player’s own head or body (including the foot)
- directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close
- if the hand/arm is close to the body and does not make the body unnaturally bigger
- when a player falls and the hand/arm is between the body and the ground to support the body, but not extended laterally or vertically away from the body
penalty area when not permitted to do so, an indirect free kick is awarded but there is no disciplinary sanction.
So these new laws are unfair to the attacking team. If the same thing happened to a defender and it was accidental, it’s not a penalty, yet an accidental incident like Laporte’s yesterday is ruled out.
