I will agree though that the referee didn't get the decision right. If it carries on into the box it’s a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to the FA. If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick.

If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick. The Law was changed to exactly this. If a penalty is not given (as often happens), then it is the referee ignoring the law change or bottling it. Change introduced specifically to address jersey tugging which often ends with the player falling inside the box after having tried to stay on his feet when he was first dragged back. It was seen as penalising the attacking player to bring the play back to the place of the initial contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 A number of the law updates have been sensible changes. It just seems to be the handball "improvements" that have been misguided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems to be the handball "improvements" that have been misguided. They are well intentioned, but they’ve made a pigs ear of it. I think the intention was to remove the possibility of gaining a big advantage from an accidental handball. To be honest, the way the rule was being applied before was ok. Perhaps changing the wording to replace “deliberate” with something like “avoidable” was all that was needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
