FC Copenhagen (A) | Post Match Thread

At the end of the day, no harm done. This certainly was not our usual level of performance, but bearing in mind we played for an hour with 10 men, a point was a decent return. Dortmund failing to get a win tonight also shows that no team is guaranteed to get a win irrespective of who they are playing. There are many games and challenges ahead for us and we should be thankful for the positions we currently hold in the Premier and Champion leagues. Hope the team can now get fully focused for Sunday.
 
I thought an offensive handball was only if it led DIRECTLY to a goal. This one did not.

Changes to Law 12. Fouls and Misconduct > 12.1. Direct free kick – Handling the ball
Old text (showing deletions): It is an offence if a player:
 deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, including moving the hand/arm towards the ball
 scores in the opponents’ goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper
 after the ball has touched their or a team-mate’s hand/arm, even if accidental, immediately:
o scores in the opponents’ goal
o creates a goal-scoring opportunity
 touches the ball with their hand/arm when:
o the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger
o the hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level (unless the player
deliberately plays the ball which then touches their hand/arm)
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.
Except for the above offences, it is not an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm:
 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

New text
Not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offense.
It is an offense 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 penalized
 scores in the opponents’ goal:
o directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper o immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental
Explanation:
 Not every contact between the hand/arm and the ball is a handball offence.
 Referees must judge the ‘validity’ of the hand/arm’s position in relation to what the
player is doing in that particular situation.
 Accidental handball by a teammate before a goal is scored and accidental handball
creating a goal-scoring opportunity have been removed as offenses.

There’s the small issue of wanting to win the Group, which means at least a draw against Dortmund at their place, IF we don’t want to have to get something against Seville
