‘The rules are ridiculous!’ Panel get HEATED 🔥 over William Saliba handball vs. Chelsea | ESPN FC

100% a penalty!
Saliba raised his arms before jumping so let's not sniff too much Assna!
And what did Assna do at 1-0…nothing!
What about at 2-0?
Not one shot on goal until the Sanchez gift!
Sit down Assna dogs!
You got dominated!

Ok so you need look no further than the thumbnail image for this video for your answer to if Salibas hands/arms were in a natural position, mudryk is jumping in a similar motion to saliba and his left arm is up and out and his right arm is stretched out behind him, when you jump you use your arms for balance and leverage, watch every jump for headers throughout a game, nobody jumps like a pencil, everyone jumps with arms to the side. If the rule is that this is handball then the rule needs changing its as simple as that, I can understand giving handballs when its to gain an advantage but to jump and the ball hits you from a yard away is ridiculous, I think the pgmol needs to decide what is actually a natural and unnatural position for certain actions or if its literally just dont move your hands from your side regardless of what action you undertake.

If the ball vaje off the attacker's hand and goes intontje net, does it matter whether it was a deliberate hand ball for the goal to be disallowed?
No. It would not.
If an arm prevents a goalward shot or causes a goal, its a hand ball call.

Quite right, rubbish!, now players can target arms with flick passes to get the referees to give penalties

Let me thank the presenter from for at least mentioning Sterling's name. She clearly knows more sense about the game than the pundits. Arsenal came with the same approach as Italy in the Euro final. They thought Raheem Sterling is the danger man they feared, so keep Raheem Sterling out of the game and Chelsea would be under control, but in the end what worked for Italy did not work for Arsenal. And to make things worse, it was Sterlings dangerous cross that threw them in a panic resulting in a hand ball and it was Sterling's sole presence in the box that through the goalie into a panic and drew him of his line. Yet not once was Sterling mentioned by the pundits in their conversation and football analysis. It's like when Sterling made the dangerous cross against Burnley that forced the player to have to either let the ball go or risk an own goal which resulted in an own goal. The player is on a different level so much that everything he does is being described as luck. You cannot be lucky so often that you are involved in so many events that end up in goals. It's about time he was given some respect and his play was properly analysed and explained. His decision making on the pitch are ruthless, direct, relentless and second to none and that is why he has been so successful and his stats so impressive. Not only is he England's highest assist provider, he's England's second highest scorer. You just wait to see his goals and assists at the end of the season which will not include all these other ways he has contributed to events that resulted in goals, including penalties, and its not luck. Peace and love

Clear save by hand.

So you have to head like a salmon with you arms at you side. Madness.

the rules has to be if the hand touches the ball intentionally or not its a pen….simple.

Shot looked off target to me. Ridiculous to basically give Chelsea a goal for that.

If that's a penalty the James Ward-Prowse, Luton Town vs West Ham, at the end of the game should have been a penalty when it hit his hand while he was jumping.

They need to simplify the rules, if it touches your hand it’s handball. Simple as. Unless hands are behind back or directly next to body. If you alow any mitigation there will always be controversy

Rubbish all ridiculous views, 1, we don’t want the referee not to use his own judgment we want VAR to interview regardless of weather the referee think he’s has ruled correctly, 2, at the same time we need consistency in the same game. 3. Under half a meter with the ball travelling fast when the ball wasn’t aiming at the goal , never a penalty, 4 Jesus is clattered instant penalty, 5. No team has to play well to deserve a win they have to score more goals, when the ref deniers a clear cut penalty they determine the PL tables and probably the title

that's a pen 100%. what's the fuss. u don't heads with your hands up in the air. BS

if that was other way around this clown would not have taken this stance.

Lol without that hand on the way
That ball is going into the net

From the time I sawg jorginho in that midfield against those physical midfielders I knew we were in trouble….arteta needs to be blamed for that draw

The problem with Arsenal is that Gabriel Jesus and Edward Nketiah are not false 9, they are false players. Arsenal should have signed Harry Kane, they will not win anything until they sign a world class striker and sack FARTeta

The penalty was harsh, I don’t believe it was deliberate, the rules need looking at

why is it necessary to give penalties? What sporting sense does it make to give one team a goal because someone on the opposite team has hands.?

What was wrong with the rule hand to ball is hand ball not ball to hand, tv wanting more goals has ruin the modern game.

Given the help Arsenal has gotten from VAR and referees in recent years, they should be the last team to complain. Sometimes it really feels like the federations choose a winner based on player popularity, broadcasting profits, viewership projections etc., do their best to guide the outcomes of matches based on selective VAR intervention.

👍

It’s so dumb that the only ‘natural’ hand position to referees is by the body.

NEVER A PEN, Ball to hand while the defender was going to head the ball, PURE Accident , deluded liberal people who ref, sighhhhhh
