Bola na mão não é penálti
Aqui fica a transcrição da Lei XII do futebol. Que deveria ser lida com atenção por todos aqueles que se dedicam a palrar durante horas nas televisões sobre lances polémicos.
«Handling the ball
Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with
the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into
consideration:
• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an
infringement
• touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.)
counts as an infringement
• hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an
infringement»
