Blackpool 4-0 Shrewsbury Town
Incident: Goal scored – Potential handball (Blackpool)
Decision: Goal awarded (Blackpool)
Foy says: This specific incident is in relation to a possible handball towards the Blackpool goalscorer instantly earlier than the aim is scored.
If the ball goes instantly into aim or the attacker scores instantly after the ball has made contact with their arm, even when unintentional the aim will probably be disallowed.
It is a tough determination to make in actual time. Even with the good thing about the replays, I do not consider there’s any conclusive proof to point out whether or not the ball truly makes contact with the arm, by chance or in any other case, and due to this fact the referee was appropriate to award the aim.

Swindon Town had a aim disallowed following a foul on Harrogate Town’s goalkeeper. Were they arduous performed by?
Incident: Goal scored – Potential foul (Harrogate Town)
Decision: Goal disallowed – foul on the goalkeeper (Harrogate Town)
Foy says: There is actually contact between the attacking participant and the goalkeeper, initially when the ball is making its manner into the field and then additional contact when leaping for the ball.
I believe on condition that the attackers’ arms are in an upward place and impeding the goalkeeper’s potential to take the ball, the determination to disallow the aim is one I consider is the appropriate name.

A Stockport County participant demanded a penalty following a shirt pull in the field of their conflict with Colchester
Incident: Potential penalty (Stockport County)
Decision: No penalty awarded (Stockport County)
Foy says: The referee has to evaluate on this state of affairs whether it is regular soccer contact between the defender and the attacker, however I believe this exceeds that threshold.
I consider the shirt pull is obvious and sustained holding that instantly impacts the attacker’s potential to get his shot away, due to this fact I believe the higher end result would have been to award a penalty kick on this occasion.
