It’s two questions: did he deliberately play the ball? Did he play it with his arm? It’s not did he deliberately play it with his arm?

Not a clear goal scoring opportunity?

I think you’re looking at it as it’s only deliberated if he knocks the ball down like it’s volleyball and that’s not how referees do

To me that’s a totally fair position to take.

I think basically they’re saying if you try to block a shot and have time to react it can’t hit your arm. Since his block is deliberate where it hits him is considered deliberate. I’m under no illusion that it won’t be enforced like that...

It’s not about the natural position! There are two rules, one position matters, one it doesn’t. This is the one it doesn’t. It’s simply was it deliberate? They said yes.

Hold on just a second is that me getting something right?!? @Goat

Because football is a silly game run by silly men and not something that ever makes sense.

I mean that video shows four referees all agreeing that he's handled the ball deliberately. They felt in real time and on replay that it was an intentional playing of the ball and as such he can't use his arm, period. I know we all disagree, but...

Redzone is the best way of watching NFL without the drawback of it being the longest 1 hour game in the history of mankind

Yep I completely agree with this. The two weeks off, all the nonsense leading up, the ridiculous 45 minute halftime and just the general feel of it being a show and not a game all turn me off ever being truly excited for it.

It is by far and away my favourite sport. Well worth getting into

He’s 23 and played over 100 first team games. He needs to be ready to perform if called on or he shouldn’t have been signed. That’s not to say he can’t get better too.

It was a lot easier when every other German team was their feeder team. But now you’ve got the English sides dipping in and stealing their Wirtz’s and Szoboszlai’s and it is a lot harder.

He’s way too good for Dyche
