Handball

Did anyone see the Sky coverage in the VAR box at Stockley Park where Neil Swarbrick was telling Stuart Attwell about the handball?

Yes, seemed to be asking 'How can you give that when his arm is in a natural running position?'

I for one agree with that.


Although he could have been saying 'Did you see Jamie Carragher trying to claim it was a natural running motion?'

Plenty of defenders are adopting a new natural running pose when in the box, with arms clasped behind their backs. I think someone on anther thread cited Fofana doing precisely that. I'll admit that jumping would be tricky without using arms for leverage, but defending on the ground?

Like I said, some are adapting.
