    Rules changed as of today around various things.

    One I believe is handball. If it comes off head/body/foot and hits our own arm it's not to be considered a foul.

    It definitely hit his chest. And brushed his arm.

    It was as soft a peno as has ever been given.

    If that is indeed true then the Referee should be shot.

    Poor enough game so far. Certainly well off all the hype anyway.

    It's never good when two same league sides play each other.

    So many errors.

    The only person who was not complaining about the penalty was Sissoko. He knew well he messed up

    This thread has taken a turn for the worst. Grown men are getting very passive aggressive. It is grim. The game is a very poor quality too.

    I agree. Very poor in terms of quality for a CL final so far. I'd say the rest of Europe are flicking through the channels as we speak.

    Christ, awful passing form Spurs again. Liverpool looking very nervous. They'll be on their own six yard box by the hour mark at this rate.

    The main thing with handball is it has to be deliberate.

    Was he deliberately trying to stop the ball with his arm? I don’t think he was.

    It could be argued he shouldn’t have had his arms up at all I suppose.

    Liverpool dropping a lot deeper, Spurs getting domination of territory and possession now.

    Maybe the proverbial "scored too early" for Liverpool. I'd have expected a bit more from them (although the defence looks tight)

    It has to be deliberate?? That would involve the ref knowing a player's state of mind.

    That is not the rule.

    I hate to say it, but this is a very dire game so far. A very bad advert for football.

    Sissoko ? He was marshaling his defense. Pointing to space. Getting someone else to cover elsewhere. We are getting silly with handball calls and if it keeps up, players will have to play with their hands tied behind their backs.

    So I kick the ball aimed at your arm at full force

    You have no time to react so it smacks off your arm.

    Penalty ?

    No it doesn't have to be deliberate. Not anymore.
