What happened to the beautiful game?

Whoever dreamt up the latest handball rule needs to be strung up. Already this season I have seen a number of penalties given that are nothing short of a joke. Furthermore they take 3 or 4 minutes to make up their minds. This madness must stop.

Totally agree Dave the games gone daft,I'm done with it now .. Not watching anymore games as its all about VAR now and like you say stupid handball rule.. Too much money involved and its run by imbeciles.. Rugby league for me now,at least they are honest and don't fake injury's.

What's the new hand ball rule,this has passed me by?

Watch highlights from the weekends Premiere games, Chalky, some ridiculous decisions based on a new interpretation of handball. I agree 100% with Davee and Alf.

I hate VAR but look at the players reaction like Maguire and Carroll appealing and celebrating like crazy when they won 2 pathetic penalties!
Some of the players like those two will cheat for anything!
Get rid of it as it is killing football as a sport!
And while we are at it get rid of this "taking the knee" nonsense, It is pointless!!
