Yesterday during my daughters game, the referee called a handball (and pk) vs one of the girls from the other team. What happened was there was shot from about 25 yards out, and the defender (inside the penalty box) puts her arms up to protect her from the ball hitting her chest (boobs). The ref calls handball and pk...I thought it was a bit harsh.

Hardball, sorry and not harsh at all!!Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -
Was her arm tight to her body, no extension or daylight showing, so in effect if it didn't hit her arm then it would've just hit her chest?
Did it take a 'natural' deflection, or was it settled down and easily cleared after it hit her arm?
How old?
Seems pretty harsh to me.Comment

Clear handball. Kid should have just moved out of the way (think about that for a moment).Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Doesn't sound clear cut to me. Arms tight to the body in a protective (not advantageous) manner is frequently a non call.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Kid could have moved out of the way. Instead, played the ball with her arm. At U14.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

25 yards out is your problem here, this is more than enough time for the defender to make a move to head the ball out or get out of the way for the keeper to make a save. I think the only thing to discuss here is should a yellow card have also been given as well as the PK. Last year it would have been a PK and Red Card, but this year I think they changed the rule and Ref can give a yellow instead plus the PK.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I doubt she was standing on the goal line. Maybes seven yards away? "It is handling if the player plays the ball, but not handling if the ball plays the player".Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
You can usually tell if it was a deliberate attempt to control the balls trajectory, an unavoidable and non deliberate touch or a deliberate attempt to protect ones self.
It's up to the ref's interpretation... the rule leaves some leeway.Comment

I hope everyone is signing up for an upcoming ref class. Refs are always needed.Comment

Right, the superiority complex that Cujo presents on here? No thanks...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Doesn't say how far away she was from the shot, only that she shot from 25 yards out. I got the impression there wasn't much time to move, and the ball more likely played her and she made no clear attempt to stop a goal-scoring opportunity.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

'vs one of the girls from the other team'......Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Something tells me this was a PK against your daughter's team, not the 'other team'. My guess is, you're upset that your daughter's team was penalized and are also lying by saying it was called against the other team because you want people's opinions here to help you feel better about yourself.Comment
