Sexydadbod Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Never a penalty in a million years. If that penalty was given against us we’d be livid and rightly so. What does the referee expect defenders to do? Chop their arms off? That’s an example of a referee never playing football ever at any level. You can’t possibly move your arms when the ball is moving 70 mph. His arm wasn’t exactly in an unnatural position. But the thing is I knew that penalty would be given as soon as it went to VAR because it’s Man Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classed as deliberate. Diabolical. Same thing happened to psg tonight. Is there a theme here that uefa want the plastics clubs out as soon as possible to keep the status quo?

jono Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I moved to Derby from the north west in 1996. I genuinely believe you should support your home town team. I am a Ram. I grew up going to old Trafford in the70’s and 80’s with my grandad so will always have some manure in my blood. .. Ole, who put the ball in the Germans net, you are my ☀️. French toast for breakfast. Delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably expects them to not turn their back on the ball like a schoolboy while his arm is a good distance away from his body. Doing both of those while you're in the box trying to block a shot is always running the risk of a pen nowadays, especially in competitions with VAR.

If he'd faced the ball, and jumped up with his arm 40 degrees away from his torso, it's a pen, so why isn't it just cos he's got his back turned? If it was from a cross on the wing and his arm was that angle in any direction from his torso you'd expect a penalty. I heard them say that attempts to make yourself bigger will be punished.

The very act of 'making yourself bigger' is a deliberate attempt to block the ball. Ergo, it's deliberate handball. What the referee had to decide was whether that was the intent. He clearly decided it was and gave the penalty. Pretty straightforward really. I wonder what goes through the handballer's mind as the ref is watching his telly.

The decision to block with the arm is not taken in the moment between the player shooting and the defender jumping. It's made in training. Players learn to jump in a certain way (just as they learn to 'fall' in a certain way) - to make it look natural but in fact to make themselves bigger in order to block the ball. They have no intention of getting his arm out of the way, just to make it look like it needs to be there. Therefore, the intent is there. Therefore it's deliberate.
