Imo Laportes accidental handball did change the direction of the ball. So for me its not a goal as I certainly wouldnt want to go out ever again to a goal like Lorrentes last season vs Spurs.
If any attacker touches the ball with his arm during an attack and it results a goal than its a freekick.
Last season Lorrente goal (this cost us the CL semifinal vs Ajax) and the Wolves goal by Boly froom Wolves vs us (this costed us 2 points) both would be ruled out under this new law. I am happy with that.
Also this takes away the chance if refs cheating like "I didnt see it".
Certainly we wont score any goals like this anymore either we also had some, remember Kun scored one last season and ref gave it.
Of course we only remember these if we drop points or if its a big game.
If this Jesus goal would have been taken away in a City- Norwich 5-1 game at 5-1 so not 6-1 but 5-1 hardly anyone would care.
Problem will be when next time a ref gives a goal when somebody from the attacking team accidently handles the ball and they say it was accidental so the goal is good. Then I will be livid.
