i saw it but i just presume they've changed the handball rules or something

True, they have.

“The Premier League has advised players that not every touch of a hand or arm on the ball is an offence and that they are not expected to move with their arms into an unnatural position behind their backs to try to avoid such contact.

It will not be handball if the player concerned is deemed to be in a justifiable position or making a justifiable action; if there is a clear change of trajectory when the ball is touched by, or deflects off, the same player; or if the ball hits the supporting arm when a player falls to the ground.”

Deflected from Saka’s back before the swinging arm?

 

[Planet14]

Shocked you boys were not so quick to call out the deflection of a goal bound shot from Dunk’s arm? Guess you missed that bit.

Hey, that’s what happens when you’re playing at the top, you get to expect opponents handballing and getting away with it, costing you penalties, points and wins?

Right?

Arm was straight down, never a pen.

because it was never a penalty?

 

[Planet14]

because it was never a penalty?

And Saka’s was a genuine handball worthy of disallowing a goal?

 

[Magma]

And Saka’s was a genuine handball worthy of disallowing a goal?

i dont know thats probably why the question was asked.

 

[RossFC]

yep clear 2nd yellow for kicking it away.

Arsenal players barely cared about that. Not sure any Brighton players saw Saka - they were all asleep to be fair

 

[Planet14]

Rice red carded for being kicked. I’ve seen it all.

that folks, is £100m worth

 

[Magma]

what a dumb way to get sent off.

he kicked the ball away, red carded for shit housery more than being kicked

 

[hawkman]

Obviously yellow. Should probably get another match for not getting off quickly

[SC_Power]

It’s a send off worthy…. But geez I hate seeing that being a send off though.

 

[Planet14]

Spurs fans. Enough said.

 

[TY24]

Where was the yellow card for the Brighton player who booted the ball away in the first half?

If you are dumb enough to do that on a yellow then too bad

 

[SC_Power]

Rice red carded for being kicked. I’ve seen it all.

It’s been seen before.

Crap, but it happens.

 

[SC_Power]

If you are dumb enough to do that on a yellow then too bad

Yeah, I get the rule… just don’t like the rule as a second yellow. But anyway.

Would be nice if they were consistent about it.

 

[TY24]

Would be nice if they were consistent about it.

Yep, that’s the infuriating part. Can’t remember who but there was a Brighton player that booted the ball away long after the whistle early in the 1st half… no yellow card.

Rice nicks the ball away and then gets a boot in the shin for good measure… yellow card. Veltman wasn’t trying to kick the ball, he booted Rice to make a point to the referee and it worked.

Make it make sense.

most people would agree its a yellow mate no matter the patch on the sleeve
