FREE TO SEE: Highlights from Tottenham’s Newcastle Draw
Jamie Carragher has criticized the rules of handball after Newcastle drew a controversial late penalty against a dominant Tottenham.
Referee Peter Bankes awarded Newcastle a penalty in the 95th minute of the game, after consulting with VAR and checking the pitch monitor following Andy Carroll’s header to the back of Eric Dier’s arm.
The decision was made despite the fact that Dier turned his back on him and Carroll’s header came from close range. Another highly controversial handball decision follows in Crystal Palace’s loss to Everton on Saturday.
“It’s an absolute shame. An absolute joke,” Sky Sports expert Carragher said of the new handball rule that has been introduced for this season.
“Newcastle fans will be delighted, I can understand that, but everyone else in this country will say exactly what I am saying.
“Eric Dier jumps for the ball, he has no control of where his arms are going to be, it was a header from half a meter from him, he hits him on the back of the arm, he has no idea what’s going on. This is a joke.
“Whether it’s the Premier League, the FA, the FIFA, Pierluigi Collina, whoever is involved in this, stop it, because it is ruining football for everyone. It is an absolute joke.
“You have more trouble on your hands Premier League, FIFA, UEFA, whoever is involved. Change this now!”
A foul will be awarded when the ball hits a player who has become “abnormally larger” with his arm. The IFAB determines that a hand or arm above shoulder height is rarely a “natural position.” There may be exceptions, such as when a player is falling. It can also be kicked off with bounced balls, when it comes out of a nearby player or if the player cannot see the ball.
Souness: Hard but it’s the rules
Sky Sports expert Graeme Souness took a different take on the incident, saying that while Tottenham feel bad, the referee had followed the rules, and that this new interpretation of what is and is not handball will provide more goals. and more excitement.
“It’s the new rules, it’s tough. This is ridiculously tough. But these are the new rules,” Souness said. “You can reprimand the referee, but he is only following the rules that are in place.
“They are trying to make the game simpler for the referees and for all of us to understand. If you started with a clean sheet of paper and presented it and said that’s right, would it generate more enthusiasm in We all think it’s tough, but If you say any ball that touches an arm that is outside the body line, we will give a penalty that I think we would all accept.
“I think it’s tough, but it’s going to create more excitement, more goals, and as a coach, as a player, you have to believe that in one season, all tough decisions work. It doesn’t work in one season. throughout your career. But maybe in the future we will think that more goals are being scored, there is more to talk about, there is more excitement in the stadiums. “
How the managers reacted …

3:31 Steve Bruce said that the new handball rule is nonsense, even though his team benefited from a late decision to win a penalty and a point against Tottenham.

On Saturday, Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson called the rules “nonsense” after Everton’s Lucas Digne headed the ball against Joel Ward’s wrist and was given a penalty after a VAR check. .
“I don’t understand how we have allowed it [the handball] to happen. The Premier League, the referee, the coaches, the coaches, the players, I don’t know how we have allowed this type of situation to happen, which we have in practically every game at the moment, because the rules of football are important.
“Now we have to take into account the rules that are being suggested, but are they adequate to judge handball? To me, they are not, so I think it is all nonsense.”
I’m catching up on yesterday’s action and furious with that handball against Palace! Please stop this now @premierleague since this cannot continue! The VAR is starting to smooth out and this bullshit comes in!
