Original Title: [Henry Winter] Players told PL there were too many hand-balls last season. Now advised by PL that not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence, they are not expected to move with their arms behind back/side like pogoing penguins (not an official description in the Laws).
…’Handball Law is simplified. No hand-ball if: justifiable position or action; a clear change of trajectory when touched by, or deflected from, the same player; played by a team-mate; hits supporting arm when a player falls; or proximity. Handball still fairly complicated but this should prove an improvement.’
