He needs to learn that Salah backflip.Called at pen in real time on Aguero and it was on replay!! Lucky boy!!!
Aguero 3rd goal.... I'm giving that, completely accidental
Its a goal, similar to the Wolves one on the opening day, still doesn't quite sit right with me that you can score a goal with hand or arm but according to current LOTG thats a perfectly good goal
He's one of the better ones but they all spout tripe at times!!!
Mr Gallagher quoted (not sure where): DERMOT SAYS: In March, if a ball goes in the net of an attacker's arm it will be disallowed. It's on the list for a law amendment.
Is it? (Presumably reverting to the old rule that a goal can't be scored off hand or arm, even if accidental)
So a lot of attackers aiming the ball at defenders' elbows in the PA then.Yes - its going to be something along the lines of if an advantage is gained by ball hitting hand/arm then its going to be penalised, even if accidental.
Won't just apply to goals, if I remember what was posted earlier in the year correctly.
IFAB have every right to change the law. And I'd much rather that they made this change they're talking about that the current situation where the interpretation of HB depends what country or level you are playing at.Lets just rip up the law book now,,,, has to be deliberate!

It's funny, I know I'm in a minority on this but I don't see it as harsh in any way if a goal is scored by the ball hitting the hand in a way which is clearly not handball under the current laws. To me. it's just 'one of those things' in the same way as, for example, the ball deflecting into the goal off the referee. By contrast, the idea that something would be classed as handball if it led to a goal but not be similarly viewed anywhere else on the pitch just seems highly illogical . We all happily accept that players can gain an advantage through an accidental handball .. so why not in this case?As it stands Aguero didn't even come close to intentionally handling the ball so the goal has to stand, no matter how harsh that might be.
