Red card for handball in the opposition penalty area?


Recommended Posts

Title says it all, my player (Huth) handballed the ball into the opposition goal from a corner and was sent off.

1) I've never seen this before in FM.

2) I don't think a player can get a red card for handball unless its stopping a goal scoring chance.

Has anyone seen this in FM or real life? or failing that does anyone have any knowledge of wether this could be a red card offense(I appealed it and lost) in real life?

1) I've never seen it before either but it doesn't mean it's not supposed to happen

2) Yes you can be sent off even if your not stopping a goalscoring chance

What would you be being sent off for though? The rules are VERY rigid.

Edit: I'm not overly angry it happened just suprised

I saw the mighty Paul Scholes get sent off in the super cup against Zenit

for handballing into their goal. Got a suspension from United's first CL game this season.

welcome to the forums

Wasn't this a second yellow though

If the players is not preventing a goal scoring opportunity with his hand isn't it a booking

The rules of football are that a red card can only be given for handball if it "denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity".

In other words...if you stop the ball from going in by handballing it on the goal-line or if you handball it to stop someone going through on goal.

Deliberate handball in any other situation should be a yellow card, not a red.
