What is Schmeichel talking about? It has to be intentional.
If the handball is dependent on intention then surely no handball should be giving in the history of football. No footballer intentionally handballs it
it's up there with 'he's not looking at the man' to excuse an elbow. If I close my eyes and punch you in the face, does that mean it didn't happen?

They're annoyingly efficient, and there is something a bit heart breaking from our point of view to miss out on winning the League to them having played so well for the majority of the season.

If it plays out that way.

I just saw it, thats deliberate, its a red, even if it isnt its still a penalty and a yellow.

Ive always said Oliver is a cvnt and hes proving me right with this and ignoring Vardys illegal two footed challenge.

Might as well give them the trophy now with the way things are going. Filled with a cocktail of whatever drugs they've been taking.

We're up against a team of dope cheats with a load of bent refs on their payroll with Sky fixing the schedule entirely in their favour. Quite up against it, aren't we?

Even if we do, we'll be up there challenging again year on year. This season isn't the be all and end all that some in the media are making it out to be for us. Whatever happens this year happens. It will only make us stronger.

It seems to be the case. If we win it now I will join every Leicester forum and post naked pics of myself in just a Spurs jersey saying Champions 16 on it, while I take drugs. With a cardboard cut out of the trophy.

Totally agree. We'll keep getting stronger under Poch.

Those are the rules though....

Regarding handball they now ask the referee to consider the proximity of the potential offender to the person last playing the ball, the speed of the ball and importantly whether the offender's arms are in a natural or unnatural position.

So the question of intent is now, did the offender deliberately place his arms in an unnatural position to increase the chances of the ball hitting him?

If the answer to that is yes then it is correct to penalise that player even though it used to be argued that was ball to hand.

I still think Southampton will score. Its just whether Leicester get another one.
