The rags do it at the swamp and have done for years

While the game is in motion ?

Glad we’re getting fucked over in a group game rather than in the knockout stage

It checks for handballs in the build up to goals. In the PL, that goal would have stood, but not in the CL.

Clear and obvious is to do with subjective foul decisions.

See I don't even know the rules of football anymore, it's become a fucking joke

I thought it had to be deliberate if it’s in the build up?

You can only disallow for any handball if it’s the person putting the ball in the net.

Yep. This is the explanation of the handball law given on the BBC’s website this morning when discussing some of this weekend’s decisions:

For accidental handball in the build-up to a goal:

• If one player accidentally handles the ball and a team-mate scores, the goal is given;
• However, if a player accidentally handles the ball themselves and goes on to score, the goal will not stand.

A ridiculous VAR decision.

The rule is different from the PL who amended it, can’t see how you can have different rules in association football

The rule is applied differently if you’re an attacker or a defender isnt it

I thiught it was only the guy who scores then it has to be ruled out?

Or if the handball sets up a goal scoring action, which it didn’t. Ref got it wrong.

 

[Champions again in 2012]

That var intervention is fucking outrageous- i thought one a few years ago against spurs when it brushed Laporte arm from a corner was bad but I thought it now came down to the player scoring the goal being the one to handle. The ball was subsequently played by Mahrez to Alvarez and then on to Rodri.

if a defender handles it like that in the box it’s never a penalty so we have to standards of handball one by the attacking team and one by the defenders

 

[grandsolo]

In the PL, yes, not in the CL.

So it’s not just us, the commentators have no clue of the rule either. They said it can’t be handball

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Fuck VAR. We'll have to win the game where they cannot possibly deny us, and we will. Have faith...
