MANCHESTER - Premier League managers and pundits have been up in arms over handball penalty decisions made by referees. The most recent lightning rod struck on Sunday, when Newcastle United earned a 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
Newcastle manager Steve Bruce, despite benefiting from the decision on Sunday, described the new interpretation of the handball law in the Premier League as"nonsense". Q: Why has it done that? A: In July, world governing body Fifa took charge of matters relating to VAR from the rule-making body, the International Football Association Board , and Fifa officials, including former Italian referee, Pierluigi Collina, made it clear that all leagues should play by the same laws and interpretations of them.
Q: So what has this meant in practice? A: We have seen handball decisions in the Premier League that were unlikely to have been given previously. For example, Eric Dier's for Tottenham Hotspur against Newcastle United on Sunday where he had his back turned to an opponent while he jumped and the ball was headed against his outstretched arm. Players have been penalised for shots at clos -range which have struck their arm involuntarily.
