help-circle



  • One I quite like from the athletic a while back - make the penalty box a semi circle instead of a rectangle (goal to reduce the number of penalties for handballs in non-dangerous areas).

    I’d also quite like to tweak the handball rule to something like a “meaningful difference”. Eg if it looks like the ball is going wide but hits a players hand, not a pen. If it brushes a players hand in the box, but doesn’t change the outcome of where the ball lands etc then not a pen.




  • Watched the Goal for the first time today to see what the fuss is about. Considering there was nothing to overrule the on field officials for balls being out or offside I agree with those decisions.

    In terms of the Gabriel “push” seems to me like the defender made a hash of attempting to head it away and then tried to exaggerate the contact by flopping to the floor. Definitely doesn’t look like the sort of natural fall you would expect from a push.

    Not sure I’d have overturned the refs decision, especially when watching replays in normal speed.

    Both tackles should have seen red. Bruno’s really should warrant a longer ban as well as an attempted forearm smash should be looking at 6-7 games minimum in my book.
