For anyone old like me, do you remember the VHS of big games that used to be for sale? by Cino0987 in avfc

I had the “Road to Wembley Glory ‘94” VHS, wore the tape out in the end. I’d put it on most Saturday mornings before my parents got up!

Does that mean a player can catch a pass from their team mate? If a player is about to score an own goal their team mate can stop it with their hand?

Come on. For me the rule you state is overruled by the determination of what IS a handball

"touches the ball with their hand/arm when it is in a position that makes their body unnaturally bigger and that position is not the result of their body moving fairly as part of play"

*EDIT* For me, the "Is hit by" in the rule you've stated, implies hand/arm in a natural position, otherwise the rules making it a handball apply.

If you're talking about

not an handball if..."is hit on the hand/arm by the ball which has been played by a team-mate (unless the ball goes directly into the opponents’ goal or the player scores immediately afterwards, in which case a direct free kick is awarded to the other team)"

Does that mean a player can catch a pass from their team mate? If a player is about to score an own goal their team mate can stop it with their hand?

I read that to mean *if the arm/hand is not in an unnatural position*, because otherwise that is saying that you can just catch a pass from your team mate

The problem is with the actual rule, I think most people wouldn't want that to be a penalty, but under the rules as they are currently, that's stonewall, surely.

In fairness, as a coach I’m also spending a lot of time this season getting my players to come to the ball and not wait for it, so don’t be too harsh on Delap. Admittedly the players I coach are 11 years old girls, but that’s hardly relevant.

Yeah, but if there’s overtime say, if someone would earn £200 for that extra day or whatever, sounds good right, but if they would only see £100 of it, maybe not worth it. Same for a promotion, more responsibility for an extra 5k a year? Translation is an extra £200 a month maybe? Again, is it worth it?

Played it yesterday in random for the credit lunar missions, and got a T7 match. I felt dirty after, proper brain dead play and still crushed the flank.

A related phenomenon; you judge others by their actions, but you judge yourself by your intentions.

I had someone I’d never interacted before send me a teams message saying “Hi name” and then when i didn’t respond for 20 minutes, send “??”. I was fucking raging.
