No. Perhaps the ref says it's not handball. But if it is, it's a red card. You have to intentionally hit the ball with your hand for it to be handball.

nice))))) australia can make a treble this season i think - 1st game cahill red card, 2nd game Kewell red card, 3rd game anyone red card please

That's what I was saying. I don't think it was a handball, but if the ref sees a handball in the box like that it has to be a red

Yeah, I don't think it was a handball either. But it is quite difficult to tell.

and both red cards were definitely harsh and undeserved. kewell didn't deserve anything, and Cahill only deserved a yellow

yep, this is a conspiracy against Australia

Stupid play by Ghana, this way they'll get a red card themselves very soon.

yeah, it definitely was up to interpretation, and I know I would have erred on the side of caution in this case, seeing that IF one was to decide it was a handball, it's a sending off and a penalty, which simply is too much of a penalty for something so debatable

 

[Henry]

I don't care about Australia, I'm pretty objective in this case, and I think that Kewell's red card was a stupid decision by the ref, and Cahill's was extremely harsh

Good point. All in all probably a bad call then.

Yes, so what's your point?

 

[icemaη]

It was a definite handball...

 

[BillyG]

the ball did strike him on the arm but i don't think it was deliberate

 

[Bjerknes]

You guys don't know the rules?

It's a handball on the goalline! You get sent off if you make a foul that prevents a clear chance of scoring. When the ball is goalbound and you handle it.. that's always a red card.

Yep. Dey dunno da rules, brew.

 

[Mohad]

There's no real room for interpretation here. If it's a PK, it's obviously denying a goal and thus a red must be issued. I don't know how you can doubt it.

Useless twat. No idea why folks like that player. Doesn't respect the fans at all.

 

[Salvatore]

HAHA at the video of Rooney.

Useless twat. No idea why folks like that player. Doesn't respect the fans at all.

I don't know why he expects immunity from criticism when he plays like absolute crap against ALGERIA.
