      The issue is how Saliba jumped. If his arms were lower they probably would have taken proximity into account. With your arms that high up you’re giving them a decision to make.

        It’s a natural position in that effort, there’s nothing he can do here.

          He can not put his hands up. He is not entitled to go for the ball in a way that forces himself to put his hands up and make himself bigger

            You can’t play the game with your arms tucked in to your sides at and moment, it’s a silly claim that’s not a natural position. But I as in everyone else don’t know what a handball is anymore.

    Gary Neville can shut his fucking mouth comparing it to the pen in the Merseyside derby where the defender hung his arm out and made no attempt to do anything other than block the ball with it.

      Mate he’s such a fucking bellend. Literally nothing alike what happened in the Everton game but he kept blabbering on about it. He needs to be taken off our games and never commentate on us again. Beyond fed up of his bullshit, yet it seems to be every single fucking game he’s on

    It’s a penalty on current rules but it’s embarrassing to watch what football we look like. 🐧

    I’m not even complaining about this call but I cannot even wrap my head around people thinking this kind of handball should be given. A penalty is such a massive call and so game changing. Not talking about the rules or letter of the law blah blah, like actually is this the kind of sport we want to watch 😭

    Jumping without hands if the easiest way to encourage head clashes and dodgy landings but it’s cool for now on cbs just need to start jumping up hands behinds their back flopping around like fish

    Basic human anatomy and the way a human body has to move. The rule is the rule, but you literally can’t jump right for a header if you keep your hands down. This could potentially count as hand in a natural position. Probably the toughest rule to interpret imo.
