Sunday was also a day to forget for Pep Guardiola, whose Manchester City team conceded three penalties – none of them for handball, however – and lost 5-2 at home to Leicester

Tottenham Hotspur players appeal to referee Peter Bankes after a penalty was given during a match against Newcastle United, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in London, on Sept. 27, 2020.The fulltime whistle had yet to be blown but the Tottenham manager stormed down the tunnel – his head down and hands in his pockets – after seeing his team fall foul of a handball ruling that has quickly become the biggest talking point of the Premier League season.

Callum Wilson converted the spot kick from Newcastle’s first shot on target all match, the visitors were about to escape with a 1-1 draw, and a disgusted Mourinho didn’t want to hang around. Jamie Vardy scored a hat trick, with two of them coming from the penalty spot. There have already been 20 penalties in just 25 games in the Premier League this season, and there is likely to be many more as defenders struggle to adapt to a newly adopted interpretation of the defensive handball rule.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson said the newly adopted rule was “killing the game” after his team lost 2-1 by conceding a handball penalty for the winning goal. Mourinho chose not to criticize the rule for fear of collecting a fine from the Football Association, but his Newcastle counterpart had his say.

B.C. Liberals’ ‘logical, smart’ Andrew Wilkinson carries his party’s hopes in electionPart of Andrew Wilkinson’s challenge is that his predecessor was Christy Clark, whose magnetic personality was a draw, says an observer. Oh, now I know who the BC Liberal leader is. Nice try, VanSun. Wilkinson has been, is, and will always be, a POS. No way will Wilkinson win the election. No way do I consider someone so heated about addiction as the number one problem in BC as rational or insightful.
