1. It's the location of the hand that touches the ball that matters. If the hand is outside the penalty area but the ball is inside (could be on the line) then it counts as handball. The feet don't count. This is a fairly recent IFAB clarification. 2. Not so many indirects as there used to be. Apart from offside of course: Dangerous Play: Playing in a dangerous manner without making physical contact, such as a high boot near an opponent's head.Impeding Progress: Blocking or obstructing an opponent's progress without making physical contact. Goalkeeper Handlers: A goalkeeper handling the ball after a deliberate backpass from a teammate, after receiving it directly from a throw-in by a teammate, or rehandling it after releasing it before it touches another player. Goalkeeper Time: Controlling the ball with their hands/arms for more than six seconds before releasing it. Dissent or Language: Using offensive, insulting, or abusive language and/or gestures.

Overall there are around 300 to 400 deaths by accidental drowning in the UK. Deaths of migrants in the Channel are not accidental and not my concern.

Being 'played on' went out years ago.

AI tells me that I'm not.

They're not drowning. For every Mo Farah how many others are there who make an overwhelmingly negative contribution? Children are being used as emotional blackmail.

Genesis 4:9 They're not drowning. Charity begins at home.

Hmm. Their choice.

Ain't gonna happen for me. None of the adverts is aimed at me anyway.

And so did I. What does that tell you?

Why single out Tonda? Surely the club as a whole must take responsibility for this and it has already been heavily punished.

You've missed the point. We have no way of knowing the character or history of these arrivals. Maybe they're being persecuted back 'home' because they're criminals?

They're bloody annoying. But difficult to criticise when access is free.

Ridiculous.

Coercion?

Enough of an upgrade that I'd forgotten all about THB.

He's a beast.

Good luck to him. But it's only one game so far. Whatever. He's history.

There was a brief radio discussion between the Assistant and the referee. Maybe it was about their player being in an offside position? The Assistant can see who's potentially offside but the referee can judge on matters of line of sight.

Indeed. They achieved their objective. Then they blew it.

He Was everywhere. Always making himself available.

That was easily bypassed.

I believe the evidence of my own eyes before I believe any processed data. I have never argued that any data shows that it doesn't work. Or that it does. I have seen multiple goals conceded at all levels through risky play at the back and very few goals scored because of it. It's a fad. A cult. A fashion. An unproven experimental theory. If it's so brilliant then why wasn't it universally used before the goal kick law was changed?

Indeed. But there was nothing 'stray' about this crossing. They were escorted every inch of the way.

The question was "How many do you think landed at Eastney?" Boats don't 'land' but people do.

Scienza went down too easily. It was only a touch on his back whereas a shirt tug is inexcusable.
