For an idea of the kind of handball penalties you get in LaLiga, with a strict application of the law and less subjectivity, check out this penalty in the Seville derby from Sunday. 2:13 if it doesn't auto start there. youtu.be/SPLIC6uD07c?si…

When you’re watching football with people who are screaming blue murder at the referee who’s made the correct decision, but neither they nor the players appear to know the laws of the game… 😤
@glastonbury @BrothersCider The Hodgson Disappointment gif is ready.
@DaleJohnsonESPN Don’t ask the man with all the receipts for a receipt 🤣
The fact he does it on a pommel horse makes it all the more impressive.
Lewis Smith, 30, to become the sixth EFL referee to be promoted to the Premier League. Follows in the footsteps of Sam Allison, Sam Barrott, Bobby Madley, Josh Smith and Rebecca Welch. The 30-year-old will take charge of Fulham and Aston Villa at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
@DaleJohnsonESPN I know I should have messaged you first for early heads up before the flight prices shoot up 😆
@DaleJohnsonESPN 😂 For a couple of minutes there, to my shame, I probably did!
There's a thing on here where some folk demand to know the source of info or claim it's a lie. Bottom line, you're not going to be told sources. Doesn't work like that. Believe, don't believe - your call. Reporters' info tends to be as good as their record. #SWFC🦉
This work?
@YesWeCrann @Lincolnshire0wl Something not made up would be a starter or preferably something not with the prelude 'the star understands' or 'we believe'-what about 'Joe Crann categorically states' ?
Well it seems that having been good for months and not biting to any Twitter nonsense, apparently this evening I chose violence.
Oh, and a reporter posting a link to an article they've written is now clickbait. Noted. Next time I'll shout it out of the window word-by-word and hope a Wednesday fan is passing. x.com/chrisma5on/sta…
@YesWeCrann You know what was going to happen with that tweet, only surprise is there’s no clickbait link to the Star website like Miller usually includes
We either sign a load of German 20 year olds who will eventually go on to win the world cup Or Chansiri announces a 25 year season ticket offer for 50k. Cash only There is no middle ground here 😂 #swfc
Excellent read as ever… very fair on West Ham’s goal and 2 penalty appeals at Anfield *

@dannyjbradders @DaleJohnsonESPN Dale is the best person on here - by far - to cover decisions and actual rules. He is a good guy in extreme and absolutely knows what he’s talking about, so if you want to have a go at him then please tag me out… because I will defend.
@yugalsubedi @DaleJohnsonESPN @CAlive807 That's why it's an overturn!
