The PGMOL Apologies Thread

It’s a starting point that the law makers have decided upon. It’s not my opinion of what is or isn’t natural.

Kompany and Smalling now know that if someone jumps like that, they’re going to get penalised if the ball accidentally hits their hand.

You might not like it, but it’s the way it is now.

It shouldnt be. Thats the point. Its a joke and making the game a laughing stock

No, I wasnt. You said and i quote “Grealish’s hand was up around head height”

Implying it should be a penalty. I was demonstrating that's what players do when they jump high (100% natural position to have your arms raised)and it should not automatically be a pen, as in Grealish’s case he jumped and while not even looking at the ball, it was played against his hand/arm with no intent.

Its yet another example of the law makers not having a clue and as fans we should not be complicit in this lunacy!!

I’m not being complicit. I very rarely give my own opinion on here on what I would like the law to be. Because it’s pretty pointless.

If the ball hits a player on the hand above shoulder height, then yes it is a penalty, virtually every single time. That is fact. It explicitly says it is in the laws of the game.

That’s all I was commenting on, in reply to whoever it was who originally said it was a poor decision.

I’m not saying we can’t talk about how wrong we think the laws are. Or move for them to be charged. But nothing is going to change the fact that at this moment in time the Grealish incident was a handball every time and the easiest decision a VAR will have had last season, once he’d established the ball had touched his hand.

Just stating a fact that ( virtually) all cases of the ball touching a defending players hand, while it’s above shoulder height, have resulted in a penalty for several years.

Probably contradicts what I’ve just said in another thread, but I genuinely don’t believe the Grealish decision would’ve been given if it had happened at the other end.

I always knew you'd eventually be a convert to the game being bent crew.

Is the correct answer ...

Just like the Fred.block on de Bruyne for the non penalty would of been 100 per cent given for United

No arguments

Can you recall any incidents over the last few years involving any team where the ball has hit a players hand above the shoulder and a penalty not been given?

It’s a genuine question. I’m sure it must have happened somewhere. But I honestly can’t recall seeing one.

Still not a word about the dive in the Liverpool game as far as I'm aware.

Joke of a league.

Was an appalling decision. Should have been yellow card for diving. Clear and obvious error by the Ref awarding the penalty.
