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?
