Message: [QUOTE="MadDogRevival, post: 2781816, member: 8028"] My thought wasn't "make hands legal". How did you get that? My thought was, "the penalty is too severe for an unintentional handball." Pretty much, any inadvertent hand ball and there's a 70% of a goal. In a game where 1 goal often is the difference between winning and losing, that's ridiculous. And seeing guys running around on defense with their hands together behind their backs is visual evidence that it's ridiculous. If the offensive player in the box hands it, is that a penalty kick? No? That's a huge advantage, because they can freely use their arms and hands to balance. Terrible rule. But there reason it won't change is not because it doesn't make sense - it won't change because history and all. [/QUOTE]
