| West Brom player banned for scoring handball goal not disallowed on 22:40 - Aug 20 with 1841 views | MattFinish | That’s a ridiculous ruling Pat So Heggebø scores the opening goal with his hand in the 76th minute to put WBA 1-0 up and he’s supposed to say it was handball even though the three officials didn’t see it? I’m sure that would go down well with his team mates and manager What if he claimed that he thought it went in off his chest? Would it then go to an appeal hearing? The playoffs are going to be ridiculous with 6 teams involved. In the 2024/25 season Blackburn finished 34 points behind 2nd place yet this season could still go up. They were 17 points above relegation. It just proves what a bunch of tossers the EFL are and what a mockery they’re making of it |  | |  |

The EFL basically make it up as they go along. A big shame, as their product is fantastic, far more watchable than the Prem, which has been completely ruined by VAR. |  |

Having watched the replay, I am not sure that is was as deliberate as its claimed, yes it went in off its hand, but his arm was close to his chest, I was expecting to see something a lot more clear cut. |  |

Absolutely Nick, exactly what I thought I bet Neil Bausor will be sat at the EFL with his chum Ridsdale making forensic evaluations of every goal we score |  | |  |

VAR would've taken 5 minutes, to get it wrong anyway! |  | |  |

Got zero sympathy for Norwich. They scored a more blatant handball against us last season. |  | |  |

Like last season when they beat us 2-1 Macama deliberately knocked it in with his hand in that game for the winner The Rule which stood then was FA Rule E3.1 (“successful deception of a match official”). Prior to the 2024/25 season, the FA introduced a specific rule change allowing for retrospective disciplinary action (typically a two-match ban) against any player who successfully deceives the referee by handling the ball to score a goal or win a penalty. Did Macama get a two match ban? No, he scored Norwich’s winner in the next two games EFL is bent |  | |  |
