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.

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
