I would just add to that comment that there are lots of instances where one can see that players didn't deliberately handle the football and the giveaway is the genuine expression of concern re being penalised - i.e. there was no intention to handle the ball whatsoever and in many of these incidents one can see the unseeing position of a player where his natural body movement has rendered him vulnerable to close hard hit passes or crosses on goal. Exceptions must be applied and this is where the inconsistency arises time n time again where ref common sense doesn't prevail. IMO changing the original rule re hand ball pks has "opened up a can of worms" and made the situation worse rather than better and improved. The idea that a player can move in a reasonably natural position and get hit on the arm because he didn't "tuck his arms in enough" - tough! It's a pk anyway!!??? Ludicrous and unfair!! But everyone to their own opinion! I've played hundreds n hundreds of competitive footie matches in my youth and twenties and, from a practical point of view, I must say I sympathise greatly with players inadvertently "caught out" by this revised rule covering that particular offence. Also referees deserve some sympathy in having to apply these rules in a live highly competitive and fast-moving situation.
