Was watching a game in my local park last night. Ref was having a good game despite the complaints from some of the players. A penalty was given for the following:
Defender in box with arms tightly to chest, attacker shoots, defender deliberately blocks with his chest the ball therefore striking him on the arms
Defending team protest that it wasn't a handball as his arms were tight on his chest and it was an accident
I'm not entirely sure what I would have given as you could argue that he was using his arms to protect himself, your thoughts?
