    - Rule still says deliberate: (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 21, 13:54:01
      - Then players might as well just stick their arms in the air in the box (Other Football) - SCC 28, Jun 21, 15:02:36
        
        That would be deliberate though (n/m) (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 21, 15:05:45
        
        Then so was this (Other Football) - SCC 28, Jun 21, 15:10:50
        
        question is whether it was part of his jumping motion (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 21, 15:28:21
        
        Yep that’s what it comes down to (Other Football) - SCC 28, Jun 21, 15:31:17
      - I stand corrected. No way that's a penalty (n/m) (Other Football) - jAC, Jun 21, 14:45:00
    - well, issue is whether defender has arm in unnatural position (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 21, 13:52:41
  - And that's my problem with it. Sod ball to hand, we'll watch and watch and give it. (n/m) (Other Football) - DrDublin, Jun 21, 13:43:00
    - that's not a problem with VAR though, it's a consequence of the underlying laws (Other Football) - CWC, Jun 21, 13:53:25
      - See your problem is CWC you're a lawyer and make far too much sense at times. (n/m) (Other Football) - DrDublin, Jun 21, 14:14:28
        
        you just need a full stop after lawyer and to delete the rest :) (n/m) (Other Football) - CWC, Jun 21, 14:31:28
        
        I did caveat with 'at times'. :) (n/m) (Other Football) - DrDublin, Jun 21, 14:39:56
        
        ha! so you did (Other Football) - CWC, Jun 21, 14:41:31
        
        Got to pay that indemnity for something! (n/m) (Other Football) - DrDublin, Jun 21, 14:46:52
