Never even occurred to me, but shades of handball from Saka?

I'm not sure about the rule this season, but last season if the ball touches an arm in the build-up to a goal, it was to be disallowed. The handball rule is a mess either way.Nah, not deliberate.
If Saka and Dunk went to head the ball, and just bumped into each other, then that's fair play. It's a contact sport. However - what's the rule if Sake had no intention of getting the ball (he didn't), and he simply nudged Dunk as he was about to head it? Is that allowed or is that a foul?

If you're not sure about the LAW regarding handball this season but still consider it a mess either way, I'm not sure of your reasoning.I'm not sure about the rule this season, but last season if the ball touches an arm in the build-up to a goal, it was to be disallowed.

Because the law seems to change every five minutes.If you're not sure about the LAW regarding handball this season but still consider it a mess either way, I'm not sure of your reasoning.
Once a season before it starts. I reality it's not hard to keep updated. Not really having a pop at you but I'm amazed the amount of people who turn up each season not having a scooby about the law changes. They then show themselves up by shouting and screaming when said laws are adhered to.Because the law seems to change every five minutes.
Dunk does this a lot himself - nudges the opponent to either try to win the header or to let it drop over his head.If Saka and Dunk went to head the ball, and just bumped into each other, then that's fair play.

You are having a pop at me, but fortunately I couldn’t give a shit and will carry on as beforeOnce a season before it starts. I reality it's not hard to keep updated.

Given the number of nudges made in the box on Albion players over the last few years I suggest it’s OKWe're talking about different things. Last season it was ok if the ball accidentally touched the arm of the player who gets the assist, but disallowed if it touched the arm of the scorer.
I was asking if you're allowed to nudge an opponent as they're about to play the ball.
