Explaining handball rules

I see that there's a question about a specific football incident involving an Everton defender and a potential handball that wasn't called. I need to rely on the Laws of the Game concerning handball and explain that the correctness often hinges on factors like whether the handball was deliberate, the position of the arm, and distance. Also, I should mention that VAR could check the call for clarity if it's not obvious.Analyzing handball scenarios

I need to address the question regarding handball without specific match details. It's important to look at angles like whether the arm made the body's silhouette bigger or if it was a natural movement. For instance, if the ball deflects from a player nearby, it usually wouldn’t be a penalty. If the arm is extended to create a barrier, that's likely a penalty. I should also comment on the latest Premier League clarifications regarding accidental contacts. Finally, I’ll reference the "IFAB Laws of the Game" for additional context.Considering VAR implications

I should mention that if there's a VAR review, the focus is on whether there's a "clear and obvious error." If the referee deemed the play as natural, VAR will likely leave the decision as is. Without a clip, I can't provide a definitive answer; we need to consider various factors. If the user provides more details or a video, I can then offer a better assessment. Responding in Chinese is also fine since it's appropriate for their request.Clarifying handball nuances

I can explain the nuances around handball rules, particularly regarding a defender's play leading to a deflection onto their arm. While deflection from their body is relevant, the position of the arm still matters. According to IFAB guidance, a handball is typically not called if the ball hits the arm directly from the player's own body or when the arm is close and not making the body bigger. However, if the arm is extended or high, it's considered a handball even if deflected. I’ll present these details clearly.Creating a decision tree for handball

I could create a quick decision tree to explain handball rulings. For instance, if the arm is in a natural position close to the body and there's no time to react, it's usually not a penalty. However, if the arm is above shoulder level or extended, blocking a shot, it typically is a penalty. A defender's deliberate movement towards the ball always results in a penalty. I should also mention VAR involvement, noting that a clear error is needed for overturning decisions. If the user provides a clip or timestamp, I can offer more specific feedback.
