Yup. If it gets rescinded, McFazdean is free to play against Wycombe, the goal is knocked off, the result is voided and we have to pay them again on Sunday.

That’s ridiculous. They can’t.change a result when the game has been completed. We will get a one goal head start against Wycombe

[Briles]

Yes but the top of his arm i.e. the shirt sleeve which is NOT handball

Was his armpit. You can't run around the pitch with the ball under your armpit.

Are you sure about that? Unfair on Wycombe. I’m sure I’ve read in the EFL rule book (I know, hard to believe) that the next time we play Luton, at the start of the game it will be 1-0 to us, and they’ll have ten men.

 

[shmmeee]

Was his armpit. You can't run around the pitch with the ball under your armpit.

Because it’s obstruction not because it’s handball. And also because you can’t actually hold the ball under your armpit without your upper arm touching it

 

[Frostie]

Was his armpit. You can't run around the pitch with the ball under your armpit.

Well no because it would be:
A) Obstruction
B) Physically impossible

"For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. "

Not handball

 

[David O'Day]

Because it’s obstruction not because it’s handball. And also because you can’t actually hold the ball under your armpit without your upper arm touching it

The same as when you try and sit on the ball

Why do we have to pay them?
Money is tight enough as it is!

 

[ccfc92]

Did we appeal then?

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Robins said they were but there is nothing on the official site and no result if they did

 

[steve cooper]

Depends. I haven’t watched enough to see but if say it hit his shoulder then his hand it’s a pen but not a red. Otherwise yeah.

That’s what I think. Someone else said it hit his knee on the way down.
can you imagine if it was upheld and the ref said he gave it although he didn’t see it

I found this, it's premier league info but interesting if I read it correctly.

Premier League players will be allowed extra leeway when it comes to ricocheted handballs.
It is often impossible to avoid contact with the ball if it has deflected off the body of an opponent, team-mate, or even another part of the own player.
So a handball will not be awarded if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from their own head/body/foot or the head/body/foot of another player who is close/nearby.

Rejected. Pask in?

 

[jordan210]

 

[samccov1987]

Appeal rejected by fa - 2 match ban.

Bollocks

 

[Frostie]

Absolutely ludicrous

 

[Briles]

Because it’s obstruction not because it’s handball. And also because you can’t actually hold the ball under your armpit without your upper arm touching it

I think they've seen it as I did

 

[Deleted member 11652]

Was never going to be rescinded, definitely hand ball

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Strange decision and not ideal at all given how Wycombe play. Big blow but the CBs have to step up and prove their worth.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Not especially surprising, don’t think there was enough evidence that it definitely wasn’t handball.

 

[Esoterica]

Did the FA have 2 people standing between them and the monitor when they reviewed and decided that?

 

[Otis]

What a surprise.

 

[Briles]

Well no because it would be:
A) Obstruction
B) Physically impossible

"For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. "

Not handball

Was also physically impossible to stop that goal without his arm being in the way

 

[Otis]

Was also physically impossible to stop that goal without his arm being in the way

Well, he finds it much more difficult to run and play football without it.

 

[Frostie]

Was also physically impossible to stop that goal without his arm being in the way

Agreed.
But as you say it hit his armpit which is NOT handball.

 

[cov donkey kick]

That's life flat 4 at the back with osti and hyam would be good to see pask in there as he's not let the team down this season as Rose has been poor all season.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Shame - need to press them back and Osti to boss them. Will be a back 4, or Pask to come in in alongside Hyam and Osti.

 

[shmmeee]

I think they've seen it as I did

Now you can be wrong together

It’s up to our outfield players to prevent centres and crosses & not give cheap free-kicks away.

 

[Deleted member 2477]

No surprise considering the incompetent FA. Im sure if it had been a Man Utd or Arsenal player it would have been overturned

 

[David O'Day]

Not especially surprising, don’t think there was enough evidence that it definitely wasn’t handball.

apart from the video?

 

[David O'Day]

Now you can be wrong together

It is amazing how some of the most vocal folk clearly don't know the laws of the game.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

apart from the video?

The video in no way proves that it definitively didn’t hit his arm.

 

[David O'Day]

The video in no way proves that it definitively didn’t hit his arm.

it shows it hit him above the line that is called the t-shirt line which as per the current laws says it is not handball

 

[Dickie]

No surprise considering the incompetent FA. Im sure if it had been a Man Utd or Arsenal player it would have been overturned

If it was a Swansea player it would have been overturned. Corrupt as fuck.

 

[wingy]

Clearly his short shirt sleeve is too long as a delineation between arm and shoulder .
I think it's time for a Harry Enfield version with capped sleeves tbf.
