But at least those were authentic penalty claims. Unlike like this new slant on handball where intent doesn't come into it, that's a travesty.

Was the handball law and application really so broken pre VAR? This is becoming a laughing stock.

I think you can tell that comment was 'tongue in cheek'.
As a supporter for 60 years I always wanted Everton to do well. Even a close second to the reds would be acceptable.
But........there is a reason they are called the bitters.
If you want to see bitter, take a look at Birmingham City supporters, the local derby between Villa and Small Heath is the most toxic I know of second only to probably Rangers and Celtic. Its down to jealousy due to the Blues lack of silverware and the fact they feel they should be the main club of the second city and clearly are not
I find it all rather childish, I would like to see the Blues in the Prem, we need more midlands clubs at the top level.

So would I if I was a Foxes supporter... but I wasn't criticizing them (or the ref). I was just remarking on the number of penalties that have been awarded already this season. It seems more than usual to me.
Going back to an earlier post I made... oh lookee what I just read on Sky Sports football pages
PL managers united: 'We need to help'
Premier League managers including Jurgen Klopp have called for football's elite to support lower-league clubs financially impacted by coronavirus.

We'd be happy to have Salah on loan please Jürgen. Crewe's local for him too. Have him wrapped post haste.

A welcome win for West Ham and a decent performance.
Leicester City's League championship a few years ago was seen as a bit of a freak, but to be fair to them they have turned into a genuinely top quality side rather than fading away to nothing as many people thought they would.

Just watched motd from Sat . The handball rule appears to be ridiculous and Var is improving is it
It's like a panel of football haters have somehow found themselves in a position of executive power governing the rules of football and gone; "How can we end football as a spectacle and make the fans turn away from it in their droves?" Hence VAR and the handball thing. That will just be for starters, they've doubtless got something else up their sleeves.
I enjoy watching Josè lose but not like that.
You have a defender with his back to the ball.
Carroll mis-heads the ball against the defenders arm.
Its virtually impossible to jump with his arms by his side.
I think they will be forced to change that new rule.

Nobody seems happy with the current implementation of the handball rules so I'm wondering what my fellow armchair experts think the solution should be? The current rules seem to be set up to try and minimise the subjectivity involved and so that decisions can be more uniform across matches. This has already led to some odd decisions and will only get worse.
Did you see the handball not given against Arsenal the week before ? There’s your subjectivity !
Who's standing by this now?
