your back up reasoning has more holes in it than swiss cheese
So the question of intent is now, did the offender deliberately place his arms in an unnatural position to increase the chances of the ball hitting him?
If the answer to that is yes then it is correct to penalise that player even though it used to be argued that was ball to hand.'
your body is entirely out of control; as if, perhaps, the devil has the ability to enter the body through the soles of the feet and take possession of it. This must be what they believe up norf. I understand that the worst thing the devil does is to stop the poor possessee from staring at the ball, for as we know, not looking directly at the football for a fraction of a second is a sending off offence.
while falling over is the way to play the game
nutters, the pair of you
Even by your standards, this is some cretinous ****.
Now I am going away. Try not to embarrass yourself any further.
Even by your standards you have lost it
Not telling Pokster that though
As with any decision, you have to ask how we would react if it had been given against us to judge its merits. We'd have been howling if the same penalty had been given against us when we were two up - absof**kinglutely howling
It has the paucity of a Fox Viewer I must say. Only thing is deliberate use of hand to control the ball, but wtf, there was nothing deliberate about that pen and yet it's given so frequently it's seen as a no-brainer by most.
I'd say that this should be addressed but FIFA has a more compelling thing or two to spend time on.
