54_and_counting Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 5 minutes ago, AJF said: Handball still needs to be deliberate or the player has to have made their body unnaturally bigger (in the opinion of the referee). So there is still a lot of subjectivity to it, particularly in cases of unnatural body positions. Sticking your arm up shoulder height and extending it is unnaturally bigger, hence why its easier to be consistent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s completely subjective. Edited April 3, 2023 by AJF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 When I saw it live from the east stand I thought right away it was a handball, I wasn’t surprised in the slightest when the penalty was given. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s completely subjective. Its not really though, refs will be advised (you'd think) on what is classed as unnatturally bigger, or at least given some definitive examples that most penalties this season have fell under But at least the whole, it was right at him or, he didnt mean it etc etc is removed, hence a lot more consistency, and im sure everyone will admit (wether they like the rule or not) that it has been more consistent, if a lot of shite for the defenders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep getting that Clown Willie Collum in the middle, then yes, they have a very good chance. Never a penalty in a million years. Next week, a similar incident will not be given. Arm in unnatural position? What attached to your arm as you jump? What was he supposed to do, disconnect it before jumping up? Referees , Masons, etc. Collum? do your background searches. Absolute howler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of your own fans has just explained why it was a penalty by the very definition of the laws. His arm is outstretched and at shoulder height which makes it unnatural. No one likes the law but you can’t argue with it. And one was given against us versus Ross County for the exact same type incident which kind of suggests the above is just a tear stained rant.
