    Lots of people talking about it not being a handball at all.

    The ball does hit his chest first but that only applies for deflections not deliberate attempts to control the ball. He’s trying to control it with his chest and takes a bad touch. A bad touch doesn’t negate handball.

    This is a much better clip than the other one that was posted.

    Seeing all that takes it from “harsh handball” to wtaf?! Not the biggest fan of Liverpool, but that’s just stupid.

    Flashbacks to the rugby World Cup when they went back 4 phases to disallow a New Zealand try despite the official rules only allowing 2 phases.

    This was soo far back

    They cleared the ball

    The ball touched about 7 players before it was in the net

    Its not a handball

    we played horrible but this just takes the fun out of the sport, our only 2 loses in the last 26 games were this and spurs game where both perfectly fine goals got disallowed

    This made me realize I don’t know what constitutes the changing of a phase of play.

    Does headed clearance like that constitute a new phase of play even if it doesn’t leave the box and goes straight to an opposing player? Or does a team need to have actual possession of the ball?

    I think it’s fine to pull something back after the play extends if the situation deserves it. This isn’t one of those, super borderline

    People don’t know the rules in here. It literally stays accidental contact with the arm following a deflection from the players own body doesn’t constitute a handball. Either the officials don’t know the rules (concerning) or they ignored them (concerning).

    it’s crazy that we can’t go a single day without controversial refereeing decisions being made

    I don’t see how anyone can complain about that call. Toulouse immediately call for the foul. Ball progresses immediately into their box. You’re insane if you think that failed headed clearance should ‘begin’ a new phase of play. There are like 7 liverpool players in or around the box and Toulouse never have control of the ball for even a second

    Did they change the rule this year? I swear last year if it wasn’t the player that scored, you couldn’t review the handball.

    See this is the stuff I understand people getting irritated about

    In the Newcastle arsenal debate VAR experts said the rule is very clear that VAR can’t rule a goal out for handball except for the goalscorer.

    Is champions league var different? Or they forgot?

    This seems waaaaay too long before the goal anyway.

    Hits top part of sleeve.

    Other phases of play between it and goal.

    Definitely not clear and obvious.

    Literallly points to spot and awards the goal.

    Don’t follow this one at al
