Regarding the Chelsea penalty for handball Dermot says it’s irrelevant that it came off Mudruk so close to Saliba

”It comes off Mudryk, but blocks it going forward to another player.

Yet it’s completely contradictory to what he said earlier this season when he said that it’s not a penalty because Diaz flicked it just in front of Jackson

Tbf to Dermot, there are different interpretations based on where the players' arms are. When the arms are closer to the body, the refs take more things into consideration as mitigating factors, including proximity and deflections. When the arms are above the shoulder they will often ignore those mitigating factors because they feel you were taking a risk by having your hands there.

I don't agree. He's jumping. You try jumping with your arms down by your side. Also, it should be about the situation. Mudrik shot the ball. It was off target. There was no chance a Chelsea player was going to get that ball before it went out. And it was shot off target almost point blank into Saliba's arm. This didn't block a shot from being on target. It didn't prevent a pass. It shouldn't be a pen for me.

Jackson’s jumping too
