Quote: Question: Are "handballs" ("handling the ball") a thing of the past? I've see what appears to be a trend this year that refs are just not calling it any more. I understand avoiding calling it in the box, but I’ve seen some real obvious ones elsewhere, right in front of the refs, and not get called. Opinions?
NO they are not...I have seen various hand ball's called this season. If a true hand ball is seen it should be called PERIOD - Ask yourself a couple of questions, did the apparent handball give the offender an advantage, was it hand to ball, or ball to hand?
