There are many fun interviews.
And when the Swede Andreas Thomsson refused to admit his cheating is a real gem.
The hand rule in football must probably be the most fuzzy rule in all sports. It usually creates a great deal of debate in the sport, and many people consider it to be incredibly inconsistent.
Unclear hand rule
It is not uncommon for different assessments to be made on a case-by-case basis. And many often point to other situations when they do not get the referee with them in a case involving the ball taking the hand.
This is one of the biggest reasons why VAR has come to football, but the rule has not yet been clarified. There are almost any camera angle during a football match, and from the TV couch you can easily see if a ball touches your hand or not. It was different in the 90s where access to replay images was not as available as now.
Clear hands – or?
Taking the ball in hand, many players admit after the match that it was a rule error. Then there are players who choose not to do, and defend themselves properly. For example, the former Kalmar FF icon Andreas Thomsson who refuses to admit that the ball really touched his hand before sending it into goal.
– Oj. It’s not my problem but it sure is. He can blow by hand, but it takes in his arm. That is the judge’s assessment, he says in a clip that can be seen below.
But this must be one of the clearest hand situations ever. Or what do you say?
