Broony88 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Would have been an extemely harsh penalty to give. But there are refs who would have given it without a second thought. The rules have to change for me. We either go to a rule where there has to be no doubt whatsoever it is a clear deliberate handball or we have to go to the harsh but easier to control any time it touches a hand/arm it is a foul and penalty. That would have 100% been given on the halfway line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Credit to RRTV for getting their highlights up so promptly. Here's ours... Worst.Highlights.Ever Definitely one of those handballs that some will give and some wont. The highlights seem pretty representative of the game which was pretty even overall. A draw would have been a fair result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take the pressure off the officials and it'd be up to the players to find a way to ensure it doesn't happen. I think the only exception to the rule would be if a player's arm was stuck by his side, as player's would probably start aiming for hands to receive easy free-kicks/penalties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Would have been an extemely harsh penalty to give. But there are refs who would have given it without a second thought. I don't think he particularly meant to handle it to be fair but I don't think many would see it as "extremely harsh". It's not like his arm is by his side. He's raised it into the air, presumably to make himself bigger, and he's blocked it at head height. I think the referee would probably give that if he saw it again. Looking at the footage he was almost exactly side on to it and probably thought there was enough doubt that it had maybe hit Toshney's face.

Monkey Tennis Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Credit to RRTV for getting their highlights up so promptly. Here's ours... It actually looked like a decent attacking performance from us , despite the failure to score. Terrible highlights though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
