Leicester City away; Build up thread

That Scottish comms guy on CNBC is fucking me off.
 
As I understand it if the balls strikes the arm in the build up to a goal - accidental or not - then the goal is ruled out. Think we've just been unlucky there. Any common sense says it's a perfectly valid goal
 
The regulation is now that any use of the hand that leads to a goal and it's chalked off. No intent nothing. So you will see that a lot
It ricochets very lightly into the top of the shoulder, doesnt effect the game in any way
 
who was coady telling to fuck off? :icon_lol:
 
why no VAR on the evans foul on jota?? utter shit, dive my ass
 
last man too, doesnt the rules state thats an automatic red? what utter shit
 
Mikey Burrows has just read out the new rule. Clear as mud, sounds like they MAY have interpreted the rule wrongly. If Boly had struck the ball and it had gone in after striking his arm, then foul. Otherwise not. Gonna have to go back and read the new rules.
 
Fabulous start of second half, the disallowed goal and the failures by both Jota and Jimenez have killed our momentum.
 
It stresses that a deliberate handball remains an offence but that the following scenarios will result in a free-kick even if accidental:

if the ball goes into the goal after touching an attacking player’s hand or arm
a player gains control/possession of the ball after it touches their hand/arm and then scores, or creates a goal-scoring opportunity
a ball touches a player’s hand/arm which has made their body unnaturally bigger
the ball touches a player’s hand/arm when it is above their shoulder (unless the player has deliberately played the ball which then touches their hand/arm)
However, the following will not usually be a free-kick unless they are one of the above situations:

the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from their own head/body/foot or the head/body/foot of another player who is close/near
the ball touches a player’s hand/arm which is close to their body and has not made their body unnaturally bigger
if a player is falling and the ball touches their hand/arm when it is between their body and the ground to support the body (but not extended to make the body bigger)
if the goalkeeper attempts to ‘clear’ (release into play) a throw-in or deliberate kick from a teammate but the ‘clearance’ fails, the goalkeeper can then handle the ball

Just pulled this off the Bundesliga website, still no clearer. Reckon this was written by a legalist looking to make money out of legal challenges.
 
Thought that was a pen on vardy tbh. Could still go either way, better second half
 
Momentum feels like it has shifted Leicester's way after the disallowed goal. Would take a draw.
