    Handball rule this season has this exception

    It is not an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm:

    directly from the player’s own head or body (including the foot)
    directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close
    if the hand/arm is close to the body and does not make the body unnaturally bigger

    I must admit I thought it might have been chalked off on review. Glad it wasn't though

    Better that a foul was not given, the rule is ridiculous.
    I would much rather Leicester to win too.

    Ridiculous or not, if it's the current rule (not saying it definitely is, but I know we've had a couple of goals ruled out because of it in the last couple of seasons) then it should have been applied.

    Wrt who I'd rather win, I don't like Schmeichel after what he did to us in their title winning season, and not that keen on Vardy either, so I'm kinda torn as to who I'd prefer to win; I'm not as anti Chelsea as a lot on here, but Tuchel really annoys me.

    Must admit for some reason Tuchel gets on my nerves as well

    Is that overruling the ' leads to a goal' thing, though?

    I prefer Leicester as a club. Agree Vardy is annoying, but I guess that is because he is good.

    Vardy is a pain to defenders, as an attacker I think he's just what you need

    Yep, and he looks like Steptoe.

    get in VAR

    Oh dear, how sad, never mind. 😂
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Another ridiculous rule. Offside by a mm with a part of your body that can't score.
    Glad for Leicester, but these rules must change for next season.

    I believe it's 'directly' leading to a goal. So the player who handles the ball then shoots and scores or passes to the goalscorer.

    So it should have been ruled out by that definition?

    How are you suggesting that they word the offside rule then? Genuinely interested.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    I think the directly and immediately are linked. You could say Tielemans still had a lot to do to score as the ball didn’t just bounce for him to hit it.

    Perez didn't shoot or pass to Tielemans did he?

    Oh, SHUT UP!!


    Not you, the fawning on the beeb.

    The 'Daylight' offside rule worked for me. The strikers should get the advantage
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Daylight for which body part. Any? All?
  • yoyoyoyo
    Unless it goes against us....I want that written in the law
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    I’m glad I chose not to watch the game if it causes this amount of debate 😂😂

    I’d suggest wording the rule something like:

    “Offside should only be given any part of the attacking players body is near the West Ham United goal”
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    The daylight rule for all of your body.
    This is simple.

    This is simple.

    But it will still founder on the mm issue, surely? Almost daylight for all the body except for toenail on left big toe...

    The problem, though, is that VAR will be in place whatever the rule is. Whether you’re drawing stupid lines to determine whether a nose is offside, or to determine whether or not there is daylight between the players, you’re still drawing lines.

    The technology isn’t ever going to make it go back to the naked eye, and even if it did the naked eye was pretty rubbish a lot of the time before anyway.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Yes of course. If VAR continues to be used, it will always go down to a mm no matter what rule you have. However, at least the daylight rule gives the attacking side the advantage.

    So that's the Premier League and now the FA Cup for Leicester under this ownership.

    So envious of what they're doing. It's what we should be aspiring to but I really can't see it under our current lot.

    What is taken to the cup final every year but never used?
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    the best thing is that the chavs will be really bitter and they play them again next, should be fun mind games, wonder if they will clap them onto the pitch
