You have said "may drop it to another attacker, or it may hit someone on the way to goal, etc., etc" clearly putting some conditions on it being a promising attack. I am ok with that. See it and judge it on its merits.
What I am not ok with is saying any deliberately handled goal bound shot, without condition, is a yellow card (if not DOGSO). This is not what the law says. And imo it's not what it wants either. It's just crept into the game as an accepted practice because it makes easier to sell decisions.
A similar thing was the case that any blatant handball anywhere on the filed was cautioned. The law makers had to put a stop to it and make it specific in law.
Having said that, if there is a law change that adds this specific scenario to the list of USB then so be it. Until then I will judge every case based on its merits SPA in opposed to 'handling a goal bound shot'.
