And the semi final the year before
When they didn't kill Liverpool off at Stamford Bridge and paid for it![]()
And who is to say that Chelsea would have scored from the only incident that probably was a peno - the first handball and I am not still convinced about that? It was ball to hand rather than hand to ball. How did Chelsea lose the Final last year? Oh yes, it was on penos![]()
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.

[QUOTE=osarusan;1156848]What are you basing the argument on? Somebody else has mentioned a rule (no idea if it is correct or not) that if it is not hand to ball it is not a penalty.[/QUOTE
If you seriously need me to reply to that question you sir are a numpty![]()
I believe Chelsea should be banned from Europe for the fan's and the club's actions on Wednesday. I made that perfectly clear in previous posts, and in that post itself. Do you automatically do a search for anything that might involve Liverpool?
There's no need to get offended, not everything that refers to Liverpool is criticising them.

It is important in football for the players - and in an ideal world, the fans too - at least to understand the most basic rules. But the crazy thing is that so many popular beliefs about the rules have survived so long, even without any basis in fact, that they have come to assume the force of law in many people's opinion. Let's look at a few :
Voluntary and involuntary handball :
The referee has just one thing to consider in taking his necessarily quick decision in a handball situation : was it intentional or not? He has to decide whether the ball went to the hand, maybe on the rebound, or the hand to the ball. He should not intervene if the ball goes to hand, nor if the player is clearly protecting himself rather than trying to take advantage of the situation.
Still a definite peno Rafa?

I watched it again and I'd say you're right - he did not move his hand towards the ball - his hand was in the same place before it was kicked.
tbh I'd be livid if it wasn't given if it happened against Ireland though. It just looked like the type of handball that is always penalised.

I think that "ball to hand / hand to ball" is a flawed simplification of the issue of whether a handball was intentional or not.
Let's take a scenario where a defender stands on the goalline with his arms stretched up grabbing the crossbar. The ball is headed onto his arms by an attacker, and there is no question that the ball would have crossed the line had it not hit his arm. However, the defender has not moved his arms in any way to block the ball. Is this a penalty?
Is moving your hand into the path of the ball to block it different from putting your arms in a position where they will likely block a ball that you wouldn't otherwise block?
I taught the rule was that if it was intentional or the team was gaining an advantage from it![]()
