Solskjaer calls for clarity on handball rule

Much of the controversy focuses on handballs by players where the referee rules their arm or hand is an “unnatural position” or making the body bigger. The previous, established law relied on referees making a judgment as to whether a handball was intentional or not.

Solskjaer calls for clarity on handball rule

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says managers need more clarity on the Premier League's handball rule following a series of controversial decisions in the opening weeks of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur were denied a victory on Sunday after Newcastle United were awarded a penalty in stoppage time for handball by Eric Dier, who was facing in the opposite direction to the ball when he jumped.

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof was also on the receiving end of a harsh penalty decision during their 3-1 defeat by Crystal Palace in their season-opener.

"I think football has changed," Solskjaer said. "There are no fans, it's a different game. Pre-season we were at different stages, the new handball rule… you never know what's going to happen.

"You can discuss it all day long but we need some clarity on what's a foul and what's a penalty. Now it looks like you can chip the ball into someone's hand, like what happened to us against Palace, and Victor got a penalty against him.

"Then the header against Tottenham, he's got no idea the ball hits him. You see the goal scored against West Brom at the end by Chelsea, is that not handball?

Much of the controversy focuses on handballs by players where the referee rules their arm or hand is an "unnatural position" or making the body bigger. The previous, established law relied on referees making a judgment as to whether a handball was intentional or not.

"We need to get that clarity. It's a whole spectrum of things that aren't normal. There have been so many changes and nuances to different rules," Solskjaer added.

Any move from the Premier League to change the handball law for next season would need to be submitted to international law-making body IFAB next month to be considered.

BENEATH THE SURFACE
The Dazzling Fake Flowers: Is there any alternative to artificial flowers while decorating homes, showrooms, offices and business establishments? Fresh flowers are undoubtedly beautiful, but they dry out quickly. Hence, the demand for plastic flowers is rising day by day. Traders said these lifelike silk flowers usually come from China and Thailand. The photo was taken from the 29th International Trade Fair of the Chattogram Chamber on Friday.
