@Man_D0H @russelt4tdavies @badgersrock22 @LGBTQPrideUK @TPointUK Spoiler alert - learning about the existence of LGBTQ+ community is also part of the curriculum.....

@RareAxies @LGBTQPrideUK @TPointUK You struggling that much to follow the conversation love?

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@maxbscott Im still waiting on anyone using the IFAB laws and PGMO guidance to explain why its so definitely a handball offence (including Howard webb).

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@liamedwards1919 @terryflewers Yeah in the 0.05 of a second between it deflecting off his hip and hitting his arm he consciously decided to maneuver his arm to control the ball 🙄

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@Halliwell1986 @Giggis_utd @terryflewers Can you show us where in the IFAB laws of the game or the PGMO guidance handbook where it says this? I bet yiu can't, cos its bot there!

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@ShuldBeVERIFIED @Rory_Talks_Ball @terryflewers So do you think any time the ball touches the hand/arm its a handball?

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@Rory_Talks_Ball @terryflewers Nothing in the IFAB laws or the PGMO guidance handbook to support that though. Surely those 2 docs have to be the benchmark

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@ProfDrQliphoth @Lemonbriz Aww, angry boy 😆

That only applies if the player who arm has contacted then scored themselves, as per IFAB laws & PGMO guidance:

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@tonythemanc PGMO guidance handbook dictates thats not a handball offence. We can argue the rules are wrong, but they are applied correctly by the ref here

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@kennethfield @PGMOL_FA @premierleague IFAB laws of the game + PGMO guidance: no handball

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@MOMOJTV @AdamMcKola Erm...

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@J0NESY_Jones @henrywinter Its not googling, its reading the IFAB laws of the game and the PGMO guidance handbook.

For the record, if that was against me id be raging, and in the spirt of the game I don't think that shouldn't be an offence - but under the current laws/guidance its not

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@JMozzyForest @ForestFanF13794 @FA_PGMOL Whonis onside. Tethered been some bad decisions. This wasnt one of them

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@HughWoozencroft I mean, laws are laws...

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@JoshNorris

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@felicefan @SamanthaQuek Yep, gaz can say what he wants, but the laws of the game and the PGMO guidance don't agree with him & neither do I.

I understand people thinking the law is wrong, and in the spirt of the game that 'should' be an handball offence. But under this seasons laws, it simply isn't.

[David Eckles @onlyeckles]

@J0NESY_Jones @henrywinter Ref do the talk about a silhouette, pundits do who clearly, like you, don't know the laws of the game.

Ive already shown you, but I'll show it again. The ball played off the player o to his own arm. No handball offence. Clear as day. You're welcome
