RBSC Forumites Chatting Sh!t As Usual

[Bricktop]

Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into consideration:

* position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement

Disinformation from the well learned forumites? What is this "hand in an unnatural position" foolishness then?

From what I know, if the player's hand and arms is against the front of his body, it's no call, play on.

If the players arm is extended from his body, it is a violation and a free kick. If the referee feels the act was intentional, it is a yellow or a red card.

Just read the rules...play is only stopped for intentional handling of the ball...ball kicked to hand is play on...cards only come into play if it is a blatant & deliberate handball to prevent an opponent gaining possession or an attempt to score a goal by deliberately handling the ball...positioning of hand/arm is irrelevant...
