Eddie and Mad Dog's; Lost Their Intensity, Got No Identity Black & White Army v You Fill Up My Senses, Like A Greasy Chip Butty, Blades

[Dr Gloom 21921]

If you think about what the handball rule was designed to do (force players to use their feet and not use the hand to gain an advantage) it really should be more straightforward. 
 

I find it bizarre that a player can be penalised for handball when he isn’t even looking at the ball because his hand is in an “unnatural position”, whatever that means

The law was always about intent too. If you think about the Gordon one, he didn’t intend it. What is bizarre is that if he’d have scored it would’ve been disallowed, if I’ve understood that right.

it's just ridiculous

 

and all the more confusing how often the rules seem to change,. i'm sure it was just a season or two ago when they changed it so it was always handball if the ball strikes the hand, regardless if the player knew anything about it. resulted in shitloads more penalties than usual and only lasted for one season

Wasn't there one in a World Cup, where an Italian deliberately kicked the ball at the defender to win a pen?

And then fell over complaining he had been assaulted?
