the law has spoken
The International Football Association Board, better known as IFAB, is the body in charge of setting the Laws of the Game.
Their ‘handling the ball’ law states:
For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. Not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence.
It is an offence if a player:
- deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball
- touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised
Did the ball hit Murphy’s arm below the bottom of the armpit? Yes.
So we know it can be a penalty if it is deemed to have broken the rules.
It certainly wasn’t deliberate from Murphy’s perspective so that first bullet point, above, can quickly be thrown out.
It did, however, touch his arm when his arm was making the rest of his body unnaturally bigger. But before anyone gets angry or annoyed, that alone isn’t enough to award a penalty or free-kick.
The key section of the law that applies to this particular incident is this section, taken from the second bullet point:
“A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation.”
In this scenario, when Xhaka struck the ball, Murphy turns his head — and subsequently the top half of his body — away from the ball, presumably to avoid the ball from hitting him in the face.
That forces his arm to move away from what might be considered a ‘natural position’. However, as that is a direct consequence of his body movement — as specified in the law — he is not penalised.
While not strictly stated in the law, the proximity of the player to the ball being struck has always been of great importance and is worth remembering.
Murphy being within two or three yards’ distance of the ball when it is kicked by Xhaka will have been considered heavily by both the referee and the VAR when making their decisions.
Taking that into account, as well as everything else, not awarding the penalty is the correct interpretation of the handball law from the officials.
"While not strictly stated in the law, the proximity of the player to the ball being struck has always been of great importance and is worth remembering."
Yeah until this season it has, you vacillating mooks.

He's knows that ffp is bullshit. Just going to do a city fake sponsorship deal and make a24 pay 600m to make a documentary about Chelsea.

Was this up for debate? I thought everyone accepted the handball wasn't a pen but the Burn one should have been
By Xpike Go To Postthats okayWasn't Dan Burn also tackled in that same way by Gabriel 🤔
what about gabriel being rugby tackled in the box?
By FilthyFrenchBaguette Go To PostMorning lads, have Spurs won yet?
Is Will still erect after 4 hours?
Is Scum okay?
By Laboured Go To Postlol no Scum isn't ok
By inky Go To Postlolspurslolspurs
Seems Chelsea have backed down on Enzo, not willing to pay the 120M€.
Wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to see if the player forces a move out.

Not Arteta m8. Two scandalous decisions.
The Burn one was a pen I guess. But if that’s a pen, that happens at every set piece so there should be ten pens a game.

By Willkiller Go To PostWas this up for debate? I thought everyone accepted the handball wasn't a pen but the Burn one should have beenYeah in real time I thought it was a handball and called for it but that was just me being an Arsenal fan but I'd have been livid if that was given against us at the other end it shouldn't have been a penalty. The Gabriel one should have been a pen though, still can't believe var didn't even check it, don't think the refs are biased or anything like that I just think they're crap. That one we had last night was shit for both sides and lost control of the game pretty early on.

That interview was such an exercise in vanity that I'm not surprised that Ronaldo was the main driver behind it. Mendes is a very slimy character, but he knows how to protect his biggest assets.
No doubt he wanted to keep United on side as well. He doesn't want to burn bridges with xluba who'd be interested in signing his clients.

By Laboured Go To PostAs I mentioned it before, I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea is hoping to see if Enzo pressures for the move.
He already has been having a bit of shitty attitude since coming back from the World Cup, reportedly asking not play against Braga and then putting a terrible performance when he was forced to start, going to Argentina for New Year's against the clubs orders, missing two training sessions and saying to the manager that he wants to leave.
could have been 1-1 by now
Adams and now Johnson top bar
Enzo had an OK at best wc. 40/50 mil is overpaying right now. Maybe he develops in to an 100 mil player, but right now dev not worth it. Smells like Antony to ManU, double pay of his worth (max)
