Newcastle vs Man United

So I presume that you would never penalise a player if he hasn't had the chance to react to a ball coming in front but his hands were in an unnatural position, such as arms out to the side?
Why wouldn't a defender just turn their back and stick their arms out if they think a ball might be coming in?
Sounds like a good trick for the wall!

Because the attacking team would play a short one, run past him and score?

Soooo what do we think if law was changed to penalise handball if the individual gained a "clear advantage" by the ball striking his hand/arm?

Would that be unfair/more/less ambiguous than now?

That's what players think the rule is now so it's solve that problem!

He was watching the ball unti lthe moment it disappeared behind him - but the defender headed it immediately behind his arm. This is about as clear a DHB penalty as you can get, IMO. Can't see any possible argument against this one.

The rugby tackle, again, can't see any argument against this. Pity there's no card for getting in the referee's face to yell at him.

When was the penalty that wasn't given? didn't see it in the clip.

there are two different coloured cards which should be used for getting in the referees face to yell at him, sadly the sg referees are not brave enough to use them
