    Was worried it was gonna be ruled out, the interpretation appears different every game.

    Amazed there's only 4 mins added. 2 lengthy injuries, plus the VAR check which wasn't quick either.

    Goals are only ruled out if the handball player directly scores. Not sure why VAR even looked at it.

    Got away with one I reckon. Kehrers arms weren't in an unnatural position but that slo mo reply showed it looked like he used them to 'pass' it on. A decision for us when plenty have gone against us. Hoping we'll pick them off after the break and make it comfortable.

    Unless it's deliberate, surely?

    We are 1 up....but can't in all honesty say I've enjoyed it, suppose that's the way it goes.

    Is there a commentator worse than Martin Tyler?

    …..and paired with the bias of Alan Smith!

    Doesn’t matter about natural position or not for attacking teams. I think lukerz might be right though

    Should have been double that I reckon.

    This is the rule.

    Deliberate handballs are still and have always been an offense.
    Incidental contact (more on this below) is only an offense if it's done by the player who scores the goal. In other words, you can't score with your hands, you can't control the ball with your hand and then score, etc. but you can have incidental contact with your hand and assist a goal, start a counter-attack, etc.
    The area of the arm that can commit a handball offense is from the bottom of the armpit and in a ring around from there — this is what we commonly refer to as the shirtsleeve because it's the area often outside where the shirtsleeve ends. Does this mean that longer sleeves are a benefit? Possibly.

    Terrible half .but guess we will take it

    Classic Benrahma so far, gets a rare start & flatters to deceive

    Yes.

    Ekoko's best comment so far has been, ' players always get injured at this time in the season '.

    What event last year caused the rule to be changed this year ?

    I missed this. I was going on the rule from last season.

    So today's was judged incidental, rather than deliberate.

    Funny, before they changed the rule for last season, to remove all aspects of judgement, there were often calls for exactly that. Remove all debate.

    Do they did.

    Then there were calls to change it again.

    They need to stop tinkering. And accept that where there's a judgement call, there will be disagreement.

    Same here.

    I bet their players won't be on the ground half as much now they're losing
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    More to the point we scored in the first half……just.

    To clarify,I’ve got Hutchison with Alan Smth. Just agreeing that Tyler is bad, but we’re stuck with Smith 🤦‍♂️

    What was Johnson doing putting the ball out for a lost boot.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Do we not use goals at Rush Green.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Very optimistic effort by Benrahma there, especially as Rice was open.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Benny gonna get hooked soon. Some wasteful shots which I don't think Moyes will like.

    Very comfortable at the moment, but we need to score at least one more I feel.

    I think he thought the player had stopped because he was injured.

    He seemed to be saying ' he's gone down'

    Crikey, that could have been red for Lerma.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    How was that not a red card?
