Quoting this article: Being a referee is hard enough without blatant cheating by playersThe rules only allow for a yellow card to be awarded for the handball, but it seems faintly ludicrous that you get a red card for stopping a goal with your hand but only a yellow for scoring one. As for continuing that act, it is surely worthy of at least another yellow.
I guess there are 2 discussion points here...
- Does it make sense to punish purposefully stopping a goal with your hand a red and purposefully scoring a goal with your hand a yellow?
- Does the acting after this play ("how are you disallowing that goal??") deserve a caution (similar to simulation)?
