The referee’s decision has been in the headlines since this week.
The English Premier League has been embroiled in controversy over a new handball law.
In Scotland we have become accustomed to debating after the weekend’s proceedings, which were entered into the “Sportsin by Trial” cultural dictionary.
Sunday’s clash between Motherwell and Rangers awarded the guests with two spot kicks, both replaced by James Tavernier, while Michael Stewart criticized Bobby Madden’s decisions on the above program.
Given that the Rangers came out on top with a 5-1 win, their decisions are unlikely to affect the outcome, as well boss Stephen Robinson acknowledged after the game.
We like the debate, however, that IFAB, equipped with the rules of the game, Record support Look at the flash points to see if the authorities have corrected them.
First Rangers fine
To assess both Rangers spot kicks, it is important to look at the handball law changes that came into force after the 2019-20 season.
While the law went into effect last season, it seems to be gaining ground in England and Scotland at the moment.
Earlier handball could only be fined if it was done intentionally, but changes made by the IFAB raised the question.
Body SFA, English FA, Welsh FA And the Irish F.A. Plus is made from FIFA.
The governing body has four votes, the other organizations get one vote each.
Any law change requires 75 percent greatness, so it cannot be passed with FIFA assistance alone.
Under current law “it is an offense if a player … touches the ball with his hand / arm when the arm / arm has made his body unnaturally large” or “the arm / arm touches his body is above / outside shoulder level “.
There are exceptions if the ball beats another player before hitting a hand, but a player will be considered to have made their body unnaturally large if that arm is beyond their natural silt.
Scott Orfield kicked Bevis Mugabe’s arm out of the way before he could reach it.
The Motherwell man’s arm is clearly out of his natural silhouette and under current law, this is an obvious penalty.
Punishment: The right decision, fine
Second Rangers fine
The Rangers were fined a second time, and once again it was the handball law that went into effect.
However, it is very difficult to call.
In real time this seems like an obvious penalty and there were very few complaints when it was honored.
There is no question that the ball landed on Grimshaw’s arm, but it is debatable whether it should be penalized.
The Motherwell man’s arm was not above his shoulder, and his hand was across his chest when the ball hit him.
The handball law states that it is not a crime to “if the hand / arm is close to the body and does not make the body unnaturally large”.
It is understandable why it was given, but with the benefit of replanting, Grimshaw may find himself unlucky.
Punishment: Wrong decision, no penalty
Motherwell Penalty Claim
Not only were they given two spot kicks, but Motherwell had their own penalty claim.
Alan Campbell went under the challenge of Glenn Room in the first half, but was stopped by referee Bobby Madden.
While the Motherwell midfielder went down easily, it definitely falls into the “given to them” category.
The rules of the game indicate that if the action is “reckless, negligent or excessive use of force” a defamation should be awarded for a number of offenses.
It involves pushing, and obviously the room bores Campbell at the back.
While it will obviously not use negligence or excessive force, it will fall under the definition of negligence – “lack of attention or consideration when creating a challenge”.
Madonna should have been fined for this but without permission for the room.
Punishment: Wrong decision, fine
