This has been debated on here a number of times but I am not really sure that anybody has come up with a definitive answer. When is it handball and when not?
On sky in the Northern Ireland vs Germany u21s game the Irish goal keeper just went for a ball and collected it, the ball was in the box but the summariser Gerry Armstrong I believe it is, said both feet were outside insinuating a handball should have been given, His hands and the ball were clearly in the box so I would assume that if he was fully stretched on the ground with the majority of his body and feet outside the box that constitutes handball irrespective of where the ball is.
