So, should the ref have disallowed Chelseas goal??

Undoubtedly a hand ball, but if the ref or linesman didn't see it then how can they call it???

 

Yes but I recon he knew

he had dropped one in not giving the clear Pen,and so two wrongs made a right ?

 

yes

he clearly handballed it and if you handball it in football its a foul, unless your a goalkepper that is.

 

is it not a foul if a goalkeeper handballs it then?

 

eh!

 

RE: is it not a foul if a goalkeeper handballs it then?

goalkeepers are allowed to handle the ball, havent you noticed?

 

RE: eh!

rough up rude boy boyashaka init?

 

you said when they handball it. thats a foul

they are only alowed to handle it in certain situations and when they do it isnt an handball. when they handball it it is a foul</p>

 

Clearly handballed it to those at the right side of the pitch,

or those with the view of the TV cameras. The ref and linesman couldn't see that it was a clear handball so how can they call that decision? 

 

they shouldnt give the foul

but the ref should be penalised by the FA for not being in a position to see it

 

RE: Clearly handballed it to those at the right side of the pitch,

Player/crowd influence maybe?!</p>

 

RE: yes

Not the point in this case with Drogba. Did you watch the game?

The Referee seemed to give the goal, until he was surrounded by Fulham players, he then gave himself time to think and went to speak to the linesman. He then gave a freekick to fulham for handball, asif the linesman had helped make the decision. The linesman couldn't seen the incident, so for me. A bullshitting linesman and a doubtful referee just about got themselfs out of this one.

 

Easy

listen to 20 odd thousand Fulham fans shouting handball and then look at the 10 Fulham players surrounding you

 

RE: they shouldnt give the foul

They shouldn't have gave the foul.

Still, referee's can't see everything, so to punish them for not being in a position to see a decision is harsh.

The ref/linesman fecked up.

 

RE: yes

i managed to catch some of the 2nd half after playing football, but i dont like watching Chelsea , find them quite boring to be honest. Prefer to watch Arsenal becasue they have so much pace to them and they get it down on the floor and pass it.

 

Key word

i said "UNLESS" your a goalkeeper

 

you're missing the point

if a goalkeeper handballs it then it is a foul (on account of that being what handball means)

 

RE: you're missing the point

not if their in the 18 yard box

 

That isn't handball though,

RE: That isn't handball though,

im deeply offended by your ****** sign. I found it quite harsh and insulting. Im currently considering never posting again in fear of future occurances.
So if a keeper handballs it, its not handball?
