The ball hit the def hand oo
Did the ball hit MU player arm?
QUOTE
The hand/arm is clearly away from the body and outside the "body line".
The player clearly leans into the path of the ball.
The ball travels some distance.
The ball touches a hand/arm that is clearly raised above the shoulder.
The player falls and the hand/arm is extended laterally or vertically away from the body.
A deflection clearly makes no difference to the ball touching a hand/arm that is clearly extended away from the body and/or above the shoulder.
Immediately after touching the ball with the arm, even accidentally, the player scores a goal or creates a goal-scoring opportunity.
So should a penalty be given every time the ball hits a player's hand in the area?
No. The exceptions are if the ball hits a player's arm directly from the player's own head or body and if a player is falling and their arm is between themselves and the ground for support. There is also room for interpretation as to what makes a player's body 'unnaturally bigger'.
So, if a player has his arms by their side when the ball hits their hand/arm, they may not automatically concede a penalty.
end copy paste.
the point is, the ball to hand situation doesnt block a goal or scoring opportunity and hands below arm and in natural position, doesnt consider a penalty
