The Handball Rule in Football

The question on all our minds well at least mine...what the fumes-mori is the Handball rule nowadays? The days of screaming ball to hand in the playground seem to be gone but are they? Well in this piece we will find out...

When watching any game of football, many ask themselves, including myself, What the Frimpong is the handball rule now? Well an update in laws occurred before the start of the 20/21 season. The FA declared that if the ball strikes the arm below where the sleeves end. (As shown in the picture above) That is a handball. Moving your arm outside the natural body position, if struck can constitute to a handball.

However...What the Fuchs is the natural body position. The subjectivity placed on handballs and VAR decisions in general are the reason why there are so many confused fans and confused players.

Fear not though because a handball cannot be given when the arm is struck in close proximity. But wait...What the Argel Fucks does close proximity class as? So continues a carousel of confusion.

The deeper we delve into the handball rule the more it makes us think that This is Shittu. In conclusion. Play the beautiful game and if it strikes your arm. Then you better start praying!
