VAR can't do anything when the rules are so screwed. (alien.top)

Not PL related directly, but the rules about handballs are really weird in CL. How do they give THAT as a penalty against Livramento. It came off his f***ing chest for God's sake. Feel really sorry for him. I just feel it's going to get even worse for defending teams once Wenger's new offside law comes into the picture.

I'm watching the CBS post match show and the Referee rules expert is saying the IFAB rules don't account for the deflection any longer. So the fact it comes off his chest first doesn't matter.

Rules as they are it's clear as day that's no handball. Any decent ref should be able to give that.

Stinks of ucl drama conjuring, no way on earth it's a pen and that's from a liverpool fan.

To provide a further unbiased perspective, it's almost as daft as the pen given to us against Tottenham in the CL final. It's bullshit.

The constant changing of the rules and lack of consistency is something I really hate. I don’t even attempt to keep up now but it means fans and pundits are fighting an uphill battle every step of the way.

Actually, UEFA’s rules for this season actually clarify that it’s not a penalty if it comes off another part of the player.

It doesn’t matter if they do or not. The IFAB rules state it is only a hand ball if the players arm has made their body unnaturally bigger. This means to justify this penalty the referee has to be saying that Tino’s arm movement is clearly and obviously (VAR) not justified by the fact he is running. So the way his arm is has to not be considered a natural way to run. Which begs the question, how the fuck should a player run?
