Not to mention that the arms are a key part of momentum/balance etc. And these laws are written by people who have never played any kind of sport.

What would we do without you telling us we are wrong on different threads,spurs fan you say...
I'm sure you would get by just fine without me. I know plenty of Spurs fans that claim Alonso ran into Gazzaniga in the Chelsea game. Football is tribal and it's natural we all have blind spots to our own club.

I actually think this handball law is one of the few that makes sense. An attacker can't benefit from using his hand, it's perfectly obvious, no one should argue with that.
The media and some players are the ones making it complicated. The fact VAR found 2 miniscule ones in the first 2 weeks of the season hasn't helped what is a perfectly reasonable law.

Why is it irrelevant? It's still accidental? Micah Richards gave away a pen in exactly the same situation a few years back.You could virtually catch it and it wouldn't be given if it was deflected off your own body. The position of the arms is irrelevant in these circumstances.

Yeah and I'm sure you agree that was a terrible decision?

The law was change this season to make it fairer. The decision you referred to was the perfect example of the old law not being for for purpose.

The decision against Micah was a disgraceful one from Dowd - VAR overturning today's "pen" was the correct decision under the current handball law, if anything is at fault it's the law rather than VAR.It was still awarded. Today was awarded as well then overturned?
