A ref like this should not be considered as fitting for a big tournament..

Wait I thought hand on the ball in the box is auto penalty regardless of intent?
Euro / WC threads bring out a lot of people who don't watch too much football and don't understand the applications of the rules, just the letter of the law.

Not intentional doesnt mean u shouldnt give it.
England gonna get Ukrained.
Nope.
You don't understand how the rule is applied. It's a challenging decision, but officials have stated before that they consider natural position to determine if it was an action to deliberately redirect the ball.

Letter of the law says that wasn't a penalty. It was hardly deliberate.

That is insane. I can't believe they'd let a ref like that in a major tournament like this. Nothing new for UEFA. Such a sham.
Webb is a pretty decent ref to be fair. He doesn't usually let stuff get out of hand.

I only watch soccer during the major tournaments and I know that was never a penalty.

Well alright then.
Obviously not a penalty lookin at that gif. Good call by the shitty ref
Unintentional hand balls where your hand is not in an unusual position are not awarded as penalties.
If you've got your hands raised away from your body and the ball strikes it, that can be given. But if your hands are in a natural position and the ball strikes he hand (not vice versa) it's not a pen

Sounds about right.Pre said:
Funnily enough, I thought Spanish refs were interpreting the law in that way in the Spanish league last year.
That was a mistake on the world stage, everyone see's and gets on his case.
Week in week out in the Premier League he doesn't make mistakes.
Football-GAF will probably agree with me.

No that's not true. If you keep your arms to your body and have no intent at all to touch the ball, but the opponent shoots the ball on your arm, it is not considered 'hands'

Dutch commentators talkin about the 16 reds in 19 matches
I lurk there, friendo - just don't post much. Webb's good for the most part, but he played that Final way too loosely. He would've gotten yelled at, but he should have been more harsh at the beginning instead of letting it rattle down into a tackle fest.
Call 'em like I see 'em.

It depends on whether it stopped a goal scoring chance. If it has then it will be a penalty but the player will not be penalised.
In this case it probably isn't a penalty, as the ball hit the wrong arm, if it had hit the other arm and stopped the ball rolling through to the striker then it would have been a penalty for sure.
Not even reverse psychology will help you!
