One of the problems with the handball rule is that the consequences of a handball decision, i.e. a penalty, are too great in most instances. If the rules were that any defensive handball in the box is a direct free-kick unless deliberate, in which case a penalty then I don’t think we’d have anywhere near the number of issues. Obviously deciding what is deliberate or not is difficult but surely that is better than the shambles we have now where nobody knows what counts as handball or not?How do you define a margin of error and come up with a workable handball rule.
