Handballs

[claretnproud]

cannot understand why an attacking player who deliberately knocks a ball into the net is not sent off. If a defending player deliberately handballs to save a goal then he is sent off. To me its a no brainer that each offence is basically the same result.

It's well different.

It's well different.

They are and they’re not.

Both are trying to con the officials and get/stop a goal by breaking the laws of the game in the same manner.

naaah
each is cheating to try and gain advantage of a goal. Same crime.

[claretnproud]

in fact sometimes the defending player gets sent off for a soft handball whereas the attacker virtually always tries to con the ref.

Do you think an attacker should be sent off if he fouls a defender in the process of scoring a goal, for example by climbing over them to win a header?
