[Lord Snooty]

So after they've used the Women's World Cup for experimentation, the Premier League has implemented a few alterations. Mainly regarding handball. They're saying they don't want defenders defending with their hands behind their backs. Which is a correct thing to say. Having your hands behind your back is not a natural position when defending. Look at Steph Houghton defending Sweden's second goal. Instead of attacking the ball, her new instinct is to get her arms out of the way, which just left the Swedish girl all the time in the world to shoot past her into the net.
What the FA are now saying is that if she had attacked the ball and the ball had struck her arm, no penalty. That's from now on. Obviously in the WWC it would've been a pen.
Nice of the women to allow their most prestigious competition to be used as experimentation by FIFA.
Also, the keeper's foot on the line at penalty kicks is not going to be used by VAR, which is what knocked the Scots out. Unlucky Scotland, but you may feel humble in that the most gut wrenching decision in your international careers has helped FIFA with their experiment.

My other gripe, which hasn't yet been addressed is the offside line. There has to be some margin of doubt, like in cricket's lbw decisions.
I mean, how on earth do we know they're looking at the correct frame? Roll it back a few frames and the ball is still on the passing player's foot, but now the attacker's big toe is onside. You can't possibly decide in such minimal time which exact frame is the absolute correct frame to decide what could be the biggest decision in the match, the competition and in Ellen White's case,  probably her entire career. She's now known as winner of the Bronze Boot instead of the Golden.
