Gave a penalty today, for me it was a nailed on handball
Ball crossed in from the right, defender twists his body and plays the ball with the top of his arm (where the arm meets the shoulder!)
For me its a banker of a penalty but the usual "its his shoulder ref" etc
If you don't want the ref to be thinking handball don't give him the opportunity to do so by twisting your body towards the ball arm first!!
Anyway, my question is really where does the arm stop and the shoulder start?
