Hate seeing pens like that when handballs make no difference to the play.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It make a difference ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it doesn't. Without the handball it's a goal line clearance. With the handball it's still a goal line clearance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not necessarily. What if the guy slips while trying to make up for the lack of change in direction?

You don't know what will happen
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a fractional change in direction of the ball. I think we can safely predict it still gets cleared.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So how much change in direction does it have to before you're satisfied?

I agree it's harsh, but there's no way of quantifying an acceptable range in change of direction.

So Occam's razor, just give a penalty every time there's a DELIBERATE HANDBALL IN THE AREA.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is JA 606 for feck sake, no need for high brow terms like Occam's razor
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Or quantifying

I don't know, but unless you're Stevie Wonder, you can clearly use your eyes to tell the player clears it off the line from that replay.

These are the rules and they have been applied correctly, but there is obviously a helping of luck to receive pens/goals this way, as opposed to a team putting it in the back of the net themselves. I said the same thing of our goals yesterday so not trying to be biased either.

There would only be bad luck in a clear deliberate handball in the box being missed.

The decision is 100% correct regardless of the defender getting the ball off the line.

I know. I'm not arguing that a handball shouldn't have been given, I'm talking about the wider picture that handballs of that nature are fortunate for the team that benefits from them.

We've been class second half.

Why did Odegaard struggle so much in Spain and Holland but looks like prime Ozil in the PL? Is it just a crap league?

That was possibly leicester's half chance and it's gone
