Premier League are set to make changes to the handball rules from 1 July 2021, to be enforced in the 21/22 season. [IFAB] #mufc
“Law 12 emphasises that not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence. A player’s hand/arm position should be judged in relation to their body movement in that particular situation." [IFAB] #mufc
“A player has made their body unnaturally bigger when the hand/arm position is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of being penalised." [IFAB] #mufc
“OFFENCE - scoring in the opponents’ goal: directly from the scorer’s hand/arm, plus immediately after the ball has touched the scorer’s hand/arm." [IFAB] #mufc
“Accidental handball by a team-mate before a goal and accidental handball creating a goal-scoring opportunity are NOT now offences.” [IFAB] #mufc
