ESPN being an American site, hence they are picking a set of rules and not the FA rules. Section 8 of the Fa Rules not mentioning any of what he quoted. Instead the FA Rules - page 140-150 talk about VAR. Read that - and it indicates the decision can not be overturned - VAR Principle 1.10 “if play has stopped and been restarted , the referee may not undertake a review except for a case of mistaken identity or for a potential sending off...”. They would argue play hadn’t “restarted” but that is logically impossible at the end of the game so the “stop” takes precedent

What does ESPN being an American site have to do with this? Dale Johnson knows the rules but whatever, carry on with your crusade...

Harsh aint even the word for that, just head the ball at ppls arms now rather than to a player more beneficial 

[Pizy 18,866]

That is an absolutely ludicrous and disgraceful handball decision. Is he supposed to make his arms disappear? 

Seriously, if you're an attacking player in the box these days you may as well just intentionally try to kick the ball at defenders' arms. You'll likely get a pen under current rules.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Just need to aim for people's hands in the box now

footy is slowly dying in front of our eyes. The corrupted UEFA/FIFA shitheads. the annoyance of intl. footy. VAR all these stupid rule changes, the clear agenda the refs have supporting certain teams. sure there will always be casuals who dont care but for the true football fans, it lies there bleeding

[Strike 7,477]

Defenders have to start playing with hands behind their back in the box
