Wherever that's from, it's not relevant to the incident.

It is an offence if a player:

• deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball
• touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised

The flick of the hand looked deliberate.

And for "unnaturally bigger" there's nothing saying a player can get away with waving arms around behind his back.



And whether it was going in is irrelevant (except for deciding if it prevented a goal)

Handball is controversial because it always will come down to interpretation and tbh a guessing of a players motive.

If we made it black and white as in ball touched hand/arm it wouldn't cause much controversy apart from being ridiculously unfair.

I can see the point of view to give it or not tbh.

The people not to ask? us or Forest fans because I can guarantee loads would completely change their minds if it was at the other end.

Lee Dixon is a ****

He use to have a soft spot for us.

Not sure what's happened.

 

[its a Barm]

Very professional performance today very much like our city of a year or 2 ago

 

[remember arthur mann]

ITV.

 

[Winchester]

Apart from him hitting the woodwork his performance should put joining us to bed forever he was wank.

He looks mad too

Just found this from IFAB. The law has changed so much over the years its hard to keep up. But it seems currently, it shouldnt be a Penalty… Probably change again next week like…

If he didn’t make his body unnaturally bigger, then he must have an arse twice, if not three times, the size of Beyoncé’s

its from International Football Association Board (IFAB), who are the international self-regulatory body of association football that is known for determining the Laws of the Game

it wasnt deliberate handball (no idea how you think it was deliberate), the defender put his arms behind his back like most do now to do all they can to avoid their hands touching the ball. In this instance Kova scuffed his shot a bit and it hit the arm. He wasnt waving his arms about at all…

I know what IFAB is. I knew what IFAB was over 50 years ago.

I thought he did flick his hand at the ball (rather than moving it to avoid the ball).

Great 1st half with total control bar a worrying lack of a goal threat and luckily we got that early 2nd as a sloppy 2nd half performance that we were very fortunate to not concede a few. In the final though

 

[East Level 2]

Forest 0 - Woodwork 3

Two came from our stupidity and the third was given as offside.

 

[Vienna_70]

He did tbf

I must have missed that.

 

[Burtonblue]

Gvardiol is definitely a centre half, not a left back.
Only this.

A 3rd Forest shot has just hit the post, City are under attack.

We're gonna take out them posts

 

[1964]

He's been out virtually all season. He's not even training with the team at present.

hes training

 

[Burtonblue]

Great win, but still fuming the penalty wasn't given. As clear a pen as you'll ever see. Instant goal enabled them to gloss over it.

Exactly
Ball would have gone in if not for the contact with the arm which incifuckingdentally was NOT by his side!

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Been on the hit and miss all day, made up with the result and performance. Kovacic, Lewis and gvardiol immense today

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Sadly overshadowed by the rags win today.

Eh? Cunts are 14th and we’re lucky to get a point a team far superior to them

 

[dadnlad]

After the shit they were singing I hope the forest cunts have a shit miserable journey home and Wembley never sees them again.

They turned volume up at one point it was so obvious
Something about cheats
Irony not their strongest point

 

[Saddleworth2]

Anyone know what was up with Pep? He didn't really seem like a chap that had just one a FA cup semi final. I thought he was very out of sorts.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Saying nobody wants to see a penalty given for a blatant handball! Just because it's behind his body, doesn't mean it's a natural position. He literally moves his arm to block the ball and stop a certain goal. Are you allowed to catch it if you do it behind your back?

1000% penalty.

 

[Bald fraud]

If you say so, some on here are woefully paranoid and suffer selective hearing. He's always been a decent and positive pundit imho.

Nah he’s a prick
