Rangers: Ex-FIFA official speaks out about major controversy v Aberdeen as Ibrox footage shown

On Thursday, February 8, the former FIFA official uploaded video of what seemed to

be Connor Goldson’s handballs to Instagram. He stated that neither event should be

“punished” and that the referees were correct to deny the Dons a penalty kick.

He said that in the first incident, the 31-year-old center back’s arm was in a “natural

position,” but in the second, when the ball struck him from a close range, he was

tumbling to the ground, with his arm “supporting him” as the Gers won 2-1 at Ibrox.

Madden stated, “Two handball claims, nothing given, no on-field review.” “Ignore the

fact that a foul was called in between the instances; instead, consider each one

separately. According to the rules as they stand, neither of the occurrences is

penalized.

In the first, the arm is in a posture that is natural for the action—it is short and would

strike the body instead of the arm. In the second, the defender is on his way to

receiving support as he falls to the ground at a short distance. Hopefully, people will

realize that not every time a ball comes into contact with a hand or arm, it’s illegal.
