This handball rule can be sorted by

If your arm is away from your body it hits your hand and the ball is going towards the goal on target it’s a pen if it isn’t it’s not.

Exception: arms in red shirts, no pen.

Rags were doing it yesterday after 58 minutes. Took them ages to 'decide' who was taking the corner! As if they didn't know before kick off...

We seem uncertain on who should take penalties. Perhaps it is the shock of getting one?

Ah but that's our special 'sudden death' penalty taker system. You'd hope they have Rodri's successor sorted for when he misses, although to be fair he was a lot quicker to grab the ball against spurs than Fatty Shaw was to start waddling to the corner flag yesterday.

Something to that effect yeah.

Basically, Hudson-Odoi supposedly handled the ball, Atwell didn't give pen after VAR consultation. Fatty Shaw then says at the presser Maguire told him Atwell told Maguire that VAR supposedly told Atwell there's a pen, but Atwell decided against because 'it will cause alot of talk'.

Confusing to read yeah? Cuz it's alot of he says, she says.

EDIT:

Fatty Shaw doesn't help.
'What do make of it Luke?'
Silence. Scratches his head. 'Errr'. Makes a funny noise exhaling. 'I don't know really'.
Thick get.

Most honest thing a rag has said all season.

I am no Twiggy and need a walking aid but l am quicker off the mark than him.
Perhaps not in the Greggs Dash though.

He isn’t one of the best refs out there in my opinion, but not sure of the quality of those below him.

Almost at the stage now that there needs to be an enquiry into pigmol.
Not corruption but standards, they are not fit for purpose.
The pyramid getting gets to elite standard must be very poor, and the FA are also to blame

Even if there isn't corrupt intent (and it's a big if), the footballing authorities are complicit in the cover up. It's either corruption, or incompetence (perhaps corruption being dressed up as incompetence?), but the PL/FA are 100% aware of what is going on.

Take the brighton v WBA game.
Mason disallowed the free kick , but gave Brighton 2 pens, if he was trying to be corrupt rather than incompetent, he didn't do a good job.
Like horse racing any bent stuff would be on small matches, not trying to get City.
In the CL , a different matter.
