Arsenal v Leicester City

Comforting to see that the 4th official is policing the
technical areas with appropriate due diligence……apparently they
now seemingly must extend much much further than was ever
previously envisaged by the white demarcation lines. Basically
go where you like.

A TAYLOR - Arsenal v Leicester

Taylor to the monitor… looks like a penalty and a possible red
card for Soyuncu.
Edit… Taylor gone yellow… player on the line saved his bacon by
the looks of it.

I’d say he got it right, player on the line saved him there

What was the reasoning behind sending AT to the monitor for this
one? Surely it was a straightforward factual decision that the
VAR should have been able to make.

Possibly to debate the possible red card? Did the handball slow
the flow of the ball enough for the man on the line to defend,
or would he have defended regardless? The outcome was that he
have defended regardless, hence the yellow (not red) card.

It's still subjective as to whether the hand was in an unnatural
position, hence the OFR.

Yes, I'd always expect an OFR in this type of situation,
regardless of which league or competition. The referee has to
make a judgement on whether an offence has been committed.
Obviously that judgement might be pretty clear cut and a quick
and straightforward decision after viewing the replays at the
monitor but it's not the sort of thing I'd ever expect a referee
just to rely on VAR input for. That's pretty much just things
like non-subjective offside and in/out of the penalty area.

That contradicts what dermot said on Sky's Ref watch today. He
said the handball was a "matter of fact" and the OFR was to
determine the personal sanction.

I'm not convinced handball is a simple matter of fact. There is
the factual element in whether the ball makes contact in the
green not handball area or the red handball area but even if it
is in the red area it's not necessarily an offence within the
LOTG dependant upon other criteria. Was the arm in a natural
position - is that 100% factual or is there an element of
subjectiveness? Was the player making themself bigger - I'd say
probably factual but again is there a degree of subjectiveness?
If the ball hits a players arm when he is on the floor & is
being supported by his arm - that's considered accidental but
then does how close his arm is to the body come into play? It
could be right by his side or it could be a lot further out if
he is at an angle. Does it then become subjective as to if his
arm is supporting him or is considered in an unnatural position?
If his arm is moving away from his body on the ground because of
the way he is falling/has fallen still natural or is it
considered moving his arm towards the ball? If he's put his
hands out to stop himself from face planting into the ground -
is that a natural position or not? IMO, handball is not 100%
factual because there are too many factors to consider
particularly in terms of what is or isn't an offence when the
ball hits the arm in the red area. Determining if x, y, z
criteria have all been satisfied to reach the conclusion of yes
handball offence or no not an offence under the LOTG make it
more of a subjective decision in my book. What I see as a
natural position for the arm when jumping, for example, someone
else may see as unnatural and an attempt to make the body
bigger. I would personally go as far as to say the only time
handball is 100% factual is when it is in a green no hand ball
area because there are no added ifs and buts.

Of course it isn't ...... thanks to the pig's ear the
governing bodies etc have made of the law and guidance,
seemingly tacking on bits as they go along in attempt to justify
the latest almighty error by their on-field officials and even
worse by the VARs.
