Then a sound tactic would be to always aim to hit the ball off of any opponent's hand when in the penalty area. Not that hard given practice and an opponent(s) a few yards away, I'd imagine, especially if it follows a high ball into the box and an opposing player is on the deck, or even better trying to get up (arm rooted to the turf, easy target). This would be very fair actually as both teams have the same disadvantage/advantage. First and foremost, I'd like to see the 18 yard box changed to a semi-circle with an area of about 70% of the current box. Edited by findus, Apr 6 2011, 09:59 AM.

True, and horrible to imagine. The alternative is that referees learn to recognise deliberate handball and give the defender the justifiable benefit of the doubt. I happened to watch Man U v United a few nights ago on DVD. Referees should be circulated footage of Maurice Malpas's save that led to Strachan's penalty. Now THAT is intentional handball. |

The whole game, whole highlights, key highlights, or just the goals? There's just the goals on Youtube, so it misses a lot of our excellent 2nd half performance. |

Loads of players are sneaky bastards, making 'involuntary' movements towards the ball. Not saying it was in this case, but there are many occasions where a player's arm dooesn't need to be raised near his chest, and 'it hits' rather than his arm hitting the ball. I see it as many players making it seem like the ball hits their arm, when they actually do suspect it will hit and so claim accidental. We don't want players just blasting it at another player's arms hoping to get a penalty for the contact, though. It's a tough one. |
