Not until March I believe. We're stuck with this for a while. I want to stop watching. Maybe I'm just a bit emotional still but this isn't fun. It feels different to dropping points fair and square. Sure, you're still angry, but this is just another level entirely.
I don't want to lose points like this, and I'd be pissed off if we won like this too.

I think they were part of the original problem, in that felt that the original definition of handball was too subjective. IFAB amended the law to make the officials' job easier, and this is the result.

Nope it has to stay now otherwise I'd want us awarded two points.
It night help to keep it because it will become so obvious it's a fuck up as more teams play for the penalty through the course of the season they'll have to change it next season.

The biggest joke with this rule is that it never needed to change. This is just some **** having a stupid idea that will ‘improve’ things. It hasn’t, and it is significantly worse.
At least with VAR we had terrible refs and wanted more reliable decisions made.

How can this ever change? We need mass boycotts and joint action from fans and players its a complete fucking disgrace! Those fat wankers who have probably never kicked a ball in their lives meddle with OUR game and dont care about the consequences

Why wasn't the Ndombele one checked up the other end? Why wasn't a freekick awarded retrospectively against joelinton for jumping into hojberg? Why wasn't a freekick awarded for Dier being pushed? Why the fuck was that a penalty? How can the refs/VAR be so fucking wrong? It's borderline criminal.

If players started refusing to take the penalty / purposefully missing them that were given in these circumstances, then maybe they'll have to start looking at it immediately.
But we all know that isn't going to happen.
All very well saying "if it goes your way, you take it" but until there is a unity between everyone that the rule is an absolute disgrace, nothing will change.

If they want to do something about clubs get together and agree that if pens like this is awarded. Managers agree and Roll the ball to the keeper. Sportmanship. This will change the rule soon enough after that. The clubs have to step above this shit.

I remember the Chris Foy match which was probably the last time I felt like this and then there was the Paul Robinson 'foul' in Sevilla in the UEFA Cup.

It's not the rules though - but how the English refs have decided to interpret them.
As made clear in the ifab statement earlier in the thread; handballs from ricochets or where the player cant see the ball are a separate case, where a penalty isnt always given.
The rule is fine - or as crap as it has ever been. The problem is the incompetent/corrupt PL-refs
If the refs haven't got the bollocks to ever stick with their original pen decisions. I'd rather they just listened to the fucker in their ear, and give the pen or not. Him walking over and looking at the monitor doesn't add tension and excitement for me. Just annoyance, anger and boredom waiting for the inevitable fucking outcome, and wasting every ones time.
This week will be decisive for Mourinho's reign at the club. In the end, the result is all that matters, and after three fairly straightforward matches, Spurs only have 4 points. With Son injured, the Chelsea and United matches will become much more difficult. The Thursday game is more important than the cup match. This season is entirely about winning the Europa League, as finishing top 4, even if the squad is easily good enough, is going to be a challenge, as we will not see the best players together until January or later.

Been so many to be fair, being denied CL place due to Chelsea winning the thing!
