Obviously does not work though - this tempts people to handle on the line, stop the goal and cheat their way into the world cup semis. Current rules allow cheats to succeed.

Why? the scenarios are not related - What happens to the goal that was being scored but for the handball? A sending off does not result in a goal and a penalty does not necessarily result in a goal either, so the right result is not achieved.

It's an interesting proposal but would have some problems that would require video technology to sort. For example, any foul in the penalty area is a penalty (and it could be argued that some players can score form anywhere while others can't). The referee has to decide if it's a red or yellow card but referees often get it wrong when there are lots of players in the box. Also how far out does the GK foul have to be and at what angle to the goal? It not always a given that a player would have got around the keeper, kept control of the ball and scored on target.


The point of the red card and penalty is to put the affected team at advantage and in 99% of cases it works. It's enough.

What happens to the goal that was being scored but for the handball?


There was no goal. It never existed. The only way to score a goal is to get the ball into your opponent's net. It's a basic principle, set in stone, toasted in blood etc etc

At the end of the day guys you are supporting a rule which allows cheats to stop a goal and progress to the world cup semi finals. If you are happy for that to continue then we will just have to disagree.


We need to disincentivise players from cheating, not offer them rewards when they do.

I was not referring to you at all Narnia. I don't see an earlier free kick as in any way relevant to the point I'm making.


A player handles the ball on the line as he knows the punishment is a penalty and not necessarily a goal. If the punishment was a goal awarded by the referee then the players would not see the same "opportunity" presented by handling the ball on the line. These players currently take advantage of a gap in the rules, which could easily be closed.

Don't you think what the player did Mick was more instinctive than deliberate, though it's defined as 'deliberate'? I think the scourge of diving/feigning injury is much worse than an act like this. At least it's transparent and leaves no doubt.

I would argue that he didn't cheat anyway. He committed a foul and accepted the consequences under the rules. He saved the goal and won he game for his team. It's no real difference than, say, pulling the shirt of a player to stop him getting head to ball.


If you want to talk about cheats, lets discuss the divers and actors and the like. The players who feign injury to get a free kick or, worse, a player sent off.


Rule change proposal: All games with television coverage shall be retrospectively reviewed by a panel of referees after the game, with cards and suspensions given out for 'simulated actions'.

Yep. The rules state that if you commit a foul in the area, you give away a penalty. He was playing the game according to the rules. Sure, what he did is not in the spirit of the game, but I don't think it's "cheating" as such.


Of course, it's alright when England bend the rules slightly. Remember when Sheringham dived against Greece, in a qualifier for the 2002 world cup? Beckham scored from the free kick, meaning England progressed into the competition. The reaction of the media - "Sheringham used all his experience there"! If anything this is worse, as England deliberately tricked the referee.

Would Maradona's handball in 1986 or Henry's handball against Ireland be viewed as cheating? I'd say yes.


Why is this handball not cheating? It does not excuse the act that there is a punishment in the rules, this is still cheating. Seeking to gain an unfair advantage through illegal means.

Mick, your main arguement was that the wrong team reached the semi-final through cheating. It was cheating but they had been cheated themselves during the match. Besides the guy who 'saved' they goal didn't have the benefit of time to think about his actions.

Narnia - can't you follow the thread in logical order - Loz and Jeremy are saying this is not cheating, I'm responding.


I agree with you there were other forms of cheating in the game, this is one that directly amd obvioulsy prevents a goal. Which for me is wrong and should be addressed.

But people have missed shots from even a couple of yards out. You donb't know that the player would have scored, however likely it may be.

Agreed I don't know that he would definately have scored, but in rugby it does not have to be definate, just probably.


Penalty try

In both rugby league and in rugby union, if the referee believes that a try has been prevented by the defending team's misconduct, he may award the attacking team a penalty try. Penalty tries are always awarded under the posts regardless of where the offence took place. In rugby union, the standard applied by the referee is that a try "probably" would have been scored. The referee does not have to be certain a try would have been scored.

Jeysus Mick, the effin Uruguayans should have had a penalty before. How do you deal with that?

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.

    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
