If a red player gives a little push on a blue player that would just be classified as 'careless' at most, but the blue player falls awkwardly and breaks his leg, is that a red card? Discussed at great length at the Gravesend RA meeting last night!
No. The ends don't dictate the misconduct.

In that case, the red card will be overturned?No. The ends don't dictate the misconduct. Merely the action.
You'd certainly hope so. Though this will be harder to do with the hole dug by the rushed out statement on Saturday night that 'justified' the decisionIn that case, the red card will be overturned?

Above is the challenge by Son way before the injury. As you will see, he is taking Gomes out and the ball is well in front of them. If that challenge is not endangering the player.

For the handball, it looks to me like it glances off Mina's shoulder before hitting Ali's hand. If that is the case it cannot be handball under the new law.

I'm not sure what your reasoning is for this?
The LOTG state:
'"It is usually an offence if a player touched the ball with their hand/arm when the hand/arm has made the body unnaturally bigger (or) the hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level.
The above offences apply even if the ball touches a player's hand/arm directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close".
The above offences apply
On MOTD2 the PGMOL's logic for the Alli non handball decision was that his arm was only there because of the challenge of oppo, therefore not in an 'unnatural' position.
But it was above/beyond the shoulder level?

Quite right, hopeless.Maybe we can get the EPL disciplinary department to renegotiate Brexit, the have experience now in not knowing their arse from their elbow.
I perfectly understand changing in but why post advice condoning it on Sunday night?? Absolute clueless
Ok, let's see if its rescinded, if so, I was clearly wrong!!! If its not, you can be the first to tip your hat to me!!!
That being said, he should have gone with his instincts.
That statement is not entirely correct.For the handball, it looks to me like it glances off Mina's shoulder before hitting Ali's hand. If that is the case it cannot be handball under the new law.
Fair enough, hat tipping accepted but i'm already on it, i'm booked on the next EPL p1ss up in a Brewery training Course. i'm on it with @Mintyref Monk and Bielsa!! What a shower of sh1t they are at the moment....Well, Sheff?
Come on, I want to hear "I was clearly wrong!" and some hat tipping!
