Llorente's counted, that doesn't. I'll never let that llorente goal go. Never.

Ditto. Llorentes goal wouldn’t have stood now. Shouldn’t have done at the time either but still, the rules have changed slightly.

Agreed that it should be for consistency but theve made such a mess of the rules that i think they're both the "right" call by the letter of the law. Just a farcical rule and enforcement

Personally I'm fine with that specific rule. We can't be having goals scored with the hands, and directly after it is not a good look either.

Ridiculous. No chance to move out of the way, no advantage, no difference whether it hits his hand or chest. Just bollocks that.

I agree with you, (although if you can't tell the difference between touching someone's hand or their chest then I predict a tribunal in your near future.)

Not really changed much from first half here. Mcatee deserves a chance now not with 5 mins left.

Unfortunately that’s the rules now any handball deliberate or not is disallowed it’s all a load of bollocks..

Yep. If the ball goes in directly from an arm/hand, the goal will be disallowed. Doesn't matter if it's accidental.

Hand was down by his waist!

Hope sky show city have been robbed all day tomorrow on loop.

We haven't though have we, it's handball according to the laws of the game.
