Could Mig have tipped it away?
Would have still been handball though

Could Mig have tipped it away?
I thought it would have been a red. But my mate who sits next to me has his referee's qualifications and says it can't be handball from a backpass.
But, if you like up, the rules state it is not a red card... So how should it definitely be a red card?Definitely should be a red card for that, he denied an actual goal not just an opportunity. I think that part of the rule about it excluding a keeper who deliberately handles in his own area is there to state the obvious, i.e. that the keeper is allowed to deliberately handle the ball anyway as long as he is in his own area. Again it is always going to be down to interpretation, but if you get players sent off for making two footed tackles and getting the ball then that should be a red. We'd all be in uproar if it happened to us last week.

We wouldn't like, because we know the rules.
As I've stated above though I'm not sure that rule is referring to situations like this.
"• denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity
by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within
his own penalty area)"
I think it's just stating the obvious that the keeper is allowed to handle the ball in his area.
I agree that part does not refer to the situation today

I'm still fairly certain that if a save is necessary then it's okay.
I must be going bloody mad.

It can't be handball he is a goalie and he was in the penalty area.
Anyway what is he supposed to do ? How did he know the ref was going to rule it a deliberate backpass.
im surprised Dowd saw it...
