Red Card

Guys, this is the poster who has the spoof end of season prediction thread. He’s stringing you along.

But (I think) ‘attempted’ handball isn’t an offence. The offence occurs when the ball is touched.

That's right. In offences such as tripping, the offence is "tripping or attempting to trip" (or it used to be - it isn't easy to keep up with the hundreds of rule changes of recent years). But for handball, attempting to handle it isn't an offence. In theory it could be called unsporting behaviour, but in practice it wouldn't be.

Definite red. Using the Force to prevent a clear goalscoring opportunity. Lucky nobody got hurt.
