What I explained was not the new rule it's the rule that's been there for ages. All that's happened is an increased emphasis on "making a genuine attempt to correctly dispose of the football". This Simpkin one is just a throw - there is no attempt to correctly dispose of the ball. If he tried to handball and his fist missed the ball its play on but that's not what happened.I thought you just explained the new holding the ball rule?
Or should it have been 'interpreted' differently on this occasion?
Again you can go through the game and find 30 others that were wrong both ways - each of them have an impact.
