@ClaretXtra The hands and arms are NOT considered. Screenshot from the IFAB laws of the game

[Tim Smith @timds24]

@PLMatchCentre when the laws of the game clearly state “It is an offence if a player:
deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball” how can you have accidental hand ball as you stated ?

@AlanPaceBFC @BurnleyOfficial that’s 8 less in attendance and less in food & drink sales, why make it so hard to buy tickets ?

[Tim Smith @timds24]

@AlanPaceBFC @BurnleyOfficial Tried again today to buy our 8 ST seats for the Derby Cup game – same error, can’t purchase online. So many issues with the online system it’s awful. Fans shouldn’t have to take time off work to queue at the ticket office just to get a ticket.

[Tim Smith @timds24]

@HACKETTREF 100% and if the ref thought he deliberately moved towards the ball with his arm to prevent a goal scoring opportunity (ie shot) then its also should have been a straight red (as per the laws of the game). So by not giving any card that's a clean indication he felt it wasn't.

[Tim Smith @timds24]

@henrywinter The biggest issue actually, why if the officials believed it was deliberate hand ball wasn't he given a red card ? This law is black & white no grey area. So working it back, its either pen & red card or no foul / no pen, as the rules are written

Privileged to be at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday — what a fantastic stadium ! The atmosphere is going to be electric for the first EPL match. ⚽

@IdleandWild My daughters view 😂

[Tim Smith @timds24]

@IdleandWild @Chris_Wilson6 100% should have been in the centre circle, longside lower all we could see was security, lots of security. Compare this with Wrexham last week, some poor decisions yesterday for sure

[Tim Smith @timds24]

@BurnleyMundial @BurnleyOfficial @AlanPaceBFC 100% agree with this

[Tim Smith @timds24]

@AlanPaceBFC never felt more isolated from the club than today, couldn’t see most of the 2nd half and the after game celebrations due to the masses of stewards in front of the longside ! Very poor from the club

[Tim Smith @timds24]

@KFC_UKI bad attitude from KFC staff again for their error !! How do these companies continue to get away with it ?

Some lovely football tonight played by @ClaretsAcademy under the lights at turf moor ⚽️

Contrasting footballing weekend ! A sunny Saturday at Bloomfield Road watching the 1st team followed by a wet, windy Sunday morning of youth grassroots football back in East Lancashire! #grassrootsfootball #EFL #football #LANCASHIRE

I hardly ever watch Superbikes these days, but that final race was incredible! Two top athletes showcased the skill, determination, and fitness it takes to be a champion.
