re: Handball practically in the goal

we are debating this bc people who never watch or play soccer come in here and bitch about shite and think they know enough to suggest stupid new rules that are completely unwarranted.

Rockchalk, first, I'm not "bitching", I'm making a suggestion. Second, I've watched a ton of soccer in my life and know the rules/situations extremely well. I just feel this rule is not unwarranted, and I don't know how you can say that after yesterday. You might say there's too much tradition to change it or it's too arbitrary/difficult to enforce (though I disagree, I can see that argument), but I don't know how you can say that that change would be unwarranted, if there was a way for it to not be as arbitrary.
