Just curious to know if anyone else has been awarded a penalty kick or had one called against you for the following infraction:
Ball is played in the penalty area and hits a player (anywhere in the region classified to be a handball) but it is clearly not intentional. The rule clearly states if the ball is handled deliberately (except for the GK) a PK is awarded. There were 2 or 3 PK's given in our match last night that clearly weren't intentional even ones awarded to us I didn't agree with.
Now if your playing in a big match and a call like that is made it could end a season, championship run, etc. The officials rule the field, and it's their decision ultimately, just curious to know if anyone else has seen this going on just causes some concern.
