Haven’t IFAB redefined what's an arm and what's a shoulder? I heard that this year, if the ball hits the area normally covered by a short sleeve, it's not handball.

 

Because, obviously, that makes loads of sense.

Yes, incredible amounts of sense. Maybe that only applies to handball, though?

Idiot.

Funny how Sheffield United didn't play quite as hard against Chelsea as they did against us isn't it?

It runs through to offside, though: because the upper arm is something you can score with, it's a part of the body that can be offside.

Oh, well, as you say, eminently sensible stuff. Hopefully they redefine legs and feet next.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Its stupid shit. Off side should go from the leading foot and thats it. 

 

Can defenders arms play a player onside?

Fucksake.

Just watched the Bamford incident on MotD and my main takeaway was how woeful Cahill's attempt at analysis was! 

[Josef Svejk]

Cahill is astonishingly dumb.

[Guest]

Harsh on Gary Cahill. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

The Tottenham game seems pretty quiet. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

Alan Sugar's kicking off at them on twitter.

Spurs are bad. The only reason they may challenge for the title is the strength of their squad. Otherwise, they play putrid football. It's the classic Mourinho thing of playing defensive and hoping Son and Kane figure something out.

[Jordy Brouwer]

West Brom have had some chances. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

Classic Mourinho win.

How can a premier league defence concede a goal like that. Keeper has to clean out everything there

Keeper stood there like a statue. Spurs absolutely stole that. They were horrendous.

[Jordy Brouwer]

All West Brom's good work undone.

Funny to look at Leicester and how counter attacking they are when you remember Rodgers used to be a tiki taka guy and bought Joe Allen. The positive person will say he's quite adaptable. The negative person will say he has no style of football.

[Bobby Hundreds]

The ref should at least watch a handball VAR in real-time and not slow motion. 

[Grinch]

Football is truly shite now

@oilysailor

Since the start of last season 21% of PL pens have been taken by Jamie Vardy or Manchester United

 

 

Yet we get one last week and it’s headline news for the rest of the week

Wolves just lacking that wee bit of Diogo Jota.

I think Rodgers is great at devising an effective Plan A. He comes undone when he has to deviate from it in any way either through injuries or trying to to be clever.

 

He's shown he's capable of changing his plan A but over a prolonged period of time, he can't just switch tactics game by game.

Here comes Traore.
