*** OMT roosters Vs Magpies ***

It's not the video ref that is the problem. The handball rule was changed so that any ball on the arm or hands when the arms are out is a handball. The decision was right, given the rules but the rule is ridiculous.

Callum Wilson after being asked what he thinks of the handball rule currently...

"It's great"

What a prick.

Did we? Not the game I watched. Plenty of chances to score more goals.

But we didn’t and we should have kept Son on till the game was won!
Why because VAR has stuffed teams just as it has us!

The ref on the pitch didn't give a penalty in real-time.

Thats never a pen with any sensible application of the handball rule. Not in a million years. Sadly they’ve mangled the rule to such an extent that these are being given. It’s ruining the game.

But under current absurd rules it is actually a pen....

 

[ShelfLife]

why didn't they start like that, it's obviously effective?

I think they did! Just worked better once they had Carroll on the pitch.

 

[Benny_Lad]

So he should jump with his hands behind his back?

Can you imagine doing that vs Carroll. You lose the ball and your jaw.

That’s the first big problem with the rule. Defenders now at a disadvantage as they have to jump like penguins.

2nd problem is they now keep stopping the flow of them game to check these incidents. Complete waste of time.

 

[Baleforce]

the handball rule used to be perfect

but people couldn't let it be, this is the result of people complaining about accidental ball to hand for years

Tbf it was the only time he touched the ball

 

[Bedfordspurs]

It wasn’t even a free kick in the first place

Souness defending the rule. This guy is a cretin

 

[Mosquito_Coasting]

We won’t face a worse performance this season than what Saudi Sportswashing Machine gave today. They were utterly brick.

 

[Legohamster]

I feel sorry for the refs, they are the ones made to look like clams

 

[Hashegotthesackyet?]

Sounness shut the fk up you brick clam

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

Aim for above the elbow really hard to get out of the way. Just play for that all game... bound to get at least one.

Soon teams will actually do this.

If big fat sam was still a manager his teams would. Imagine when one finally goes against united then maybe they will change rule.

Football is not the game it was when I was younger.

Souness defending the rule. This guy is a cretin

he's right though, its a rule

that it's stupid doesn't matter

 

[markysimmo]

I’m done with football now
Football can fudge off, golf for me going forward

 

[thfcsteff]

No-one talking about the handball from Ndombele's ball a few mins before. Just as clear, in fact clearer yet nothing.

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

But it is the rule now. Champions league final was when the penny dropped for me. Literally don't understand why players dont just kick it as other players arms.

But even now they should take into account the distance The ball has traveled. They were about one yard apart.

Actually the problems have started because VAR and handball don’t mix, as it was still subjective. So they tried to come up with an all defining measure - (any hand ball where arm is away from body) to accommodate VAR.
