Yes, it has changed.
Not for the good in my opinion.
Basically means if the ball hits your arm below the shoulder and the arm is away from the body, it’s a pen, regardless of whether it was intentional or not and regardless of the distance.
Promote players flicking it up onto the players hands (which we’ve seen a few instances of now)
I scored an own goal like that once.
I ran half the length of the park to do it too.
Theos v Theos, Glasgow circa 1978/9
Have a look at the Rio Ave v AC Milan penalty shoot out as well from last night. My non existent technical expertise prevents me from posting a link.
That was an absurd shoot out, some epic pant pishing from Rio Ave who missed 3 pens to win it.
