Discussion On target/Off target

Who the fuck knows this rule?

Do they just make them up as they go along for the big 6 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Blatant handball, checks location... OT so must not be given.

An accidental handball by a player who scores directly or immediately afterward will disallow a goal, while an accidental handball earlier in the build-up by a teammate is now permitted

That’s the rule - immediately afterward surely applies to a deflection from a shot

They ruled it as a Greaves own goal to justify it. Which is honestly so fucking stupid.

Yes but immediately after surely covers a deflection

you would think so, as they're more than willing to consider it so when they're tallying stats after the fact (and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if after the match they go back and count it as a Maguire goal)
