The law remains that deliberate handball is an offence. But accidental handball will also be a free-kick if... ...a player's hand or arm has made their body "unnaturally bigger" To be fair, I think we've all had our hand make our body unnaturally bigger. Well I can't speak for everyone obviously, but there's nothing unnatural where I'm concerned...

"A player's hand or arm has made their body "unnaturally bigger"'. Ooo err missus I refer the [Dis] Honourable Gentleman to the previous reply from Mr. Fargas. Or as he's know up 'Orfield way, Utter Filth Fargas.

Still think the law that allows a defender to obstruct ensuring a goal kick ( where anywhere else on the pitch is a foul) has never made sense. Having done a referee course for junior football the rules on this are very clear, make sense but are rarely enforced. If you are within touching distance of the ball you are perfectly entitled to hold the player off. If you can’t reach the ball it’s obstruction. And should be given as an indirect free kick. Doesn’t get blown for very often though

I do wonder about the ‘rules’ sometimes. Players don’t help themselves but then the referees are so inconsistent in their interpretations. Some that grate on me
Shirt pulling & grabbing hold of a player in the box, especially from corners - penalty or free kick every time.
The 6 second rule for keepers to clear the ball if they have it in their hands - they keep it twice as long as that, then drop and phaf around with it - it’s never implemented, why don’t they give a ten second clearance time, once they have the ball in their control, including goal kicks & make it an indirect free kick & a booking - that will soon stop. Not that I have it in for keepers, but why are they allowed to jump against an attacker feet first ?
Players trying to pinch millimetres at corners, I know most couldn't get it past the first defender if they moved it a foot outside the quadrant, but it’s so annoying when they have to be told 2/3 times - is there a point to corner flags, other to gauge the direction of the wind?

If you can't kick in the box from the quadrant anyway, not sure why they need to nad 2 Dam inches
