Just had a scoot through the FAs official rules after the 'deflected handball penalty' given against us today.
They've removed a few specific words that were included in the past, which have totally made it a matter of opinion, rather than any level of consistency... (replacing "did" with "deemed to have..." for example)... it's clearly as ambiguous as possible so they can always claim they are right.
Basically a total **** show.
What I was surprised to see is that the goalkeeper 6 second rule, is still a rule! An indirect free kick should be awarded if a goalie controls the ball with their arm or hand for 6 seconds or more.
Can anyone tell me the last time they saw that enforced?
