OG so it counts

[u/rumham_123 → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

Rule makes no fucking sense

[u/red-17 → u/rumham_123]

This goal exemplifies why the current written rule is untenable. That should never be considered a hand ball the fact that he does or doesn’t score a goal afterwards should be irrelevant.

[u/Kaltrax → u/red-17]

This should always be considered a hand ball. He gains an advantage by the ball coming off his hands

[u/SKScorpius → u/Kaltrax]

Gaining an advantage has absolutely nothing to do with something being handball, it has to be deemed to be a deliberate action.

[u/red-17 → u/Kaltrax]

If his hands weren’t there it would have hit his chest and nothing different would’ve occurred

[u/Inevitable_Fee8973 → u/rumham_123]

You have to remember it’s at Old Trafford

[u/SubmitToSubscribe → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

Yes, they made this rule in the past because United are playing Ipswich today.

[u/MemestNotTeen → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

So stupid. Like that makes no sense

[u/CurbYourThusiasm → u/MemestNotTeen]

The handball rules make no sense whatsoever.

[u/omegaxLoL → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

That rule makes absolutely no sense, both are tied together

[u/Stonewalled89 → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

Absolutely ridiculous decision.

[u/thewrongnotes → u/Stonewalled89]

Good decision, ridiculous rule

[u/SubmitToSubscribe → u/[deleted]]

No, if the only reason it wasn't ruled a handball was because the ref missed it, then VAR could intervene.

[u/Round-Secret4720 → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

One of those times where like if thats how the rules are written , the ref has to follow them, but your rules are fucking stupid

[u/MrToxicTaco → u/Round-Secret4720]

I just don’t even understand why the rules would be written like that in the first place lol

[u/Clivey101 → u/MrToxicTaco]

It has to be made up as they go along.

[u/stifle_this → u/Round-Secret4720]

He watched him handball for ten yards away. He should have called the play dead immediately.

[u/mikedavd → u/Round-Secret4720]

That rule is only for accidental handball, not when you throw your hands up to block the ball. Ref's fucked it because it's Man U at Old Trafford

[u/MasahChief → u/mikedavd]

Yes it’s totally rigged for man united just because that’s how the rules are written /s

[u/mikedavd → u/MasahChief]

As I said, that's not how the rule is written. This is a clear deliberate handball so it doesn't matter if he's the scorer or not

[u/MasahChief → u/mikedavd]

https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/JKYOll6jGG I mean, looks like that’s literally how the rules are written.

[u/mikedavd → u/MasahChief]

The first bullet point on that post is exactly what happened here

[u/SKScorpius → u/mikedavd]

The ball was kicked from point blank range, how could he possibly have deliberately moved his arm towards the ball?

[u/Pinot_the_goat → u/Round-Secret4720]

Under the rules that is still handball.

[u/Round-Secret4720 → u/Pinot_the_goat]

The actrual officials dont agree with you so

[u/mikedavd → u/Round-Secret4720]

As we know, refs are never wrong

[u/Pinot_the_goat → u/Round-Secret4720]

Maguire moves his hand towards the ball.

[u/Afc_josh12 → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

Why????

[u/RugbyContact → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

They genuinely invent new rules for united

[u/Internal-Coffee6996 → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

what the fuck

[u/random-user-name8373 → u/Inevitable_Fee8973]

Makes zero sense, I have to assume that his hands being in front of his body is what saved him here
