Excitement to hand the rule of the game: For Fans and players, it's bullshit

According to former Fifa referee Thorsten Kinhöfer will prevent the controversial new hand, as a rule goals and make the Fans find it hard to understand to. "For the referee it makes things easier: If the Hand is in the game, there can be no goal. For Fans, players and football enthusiasts in General, it is bullshit," said the 51-Year-old the "Bild"newspaper (Monday edition).

"devoid of It is simply the spirit of the rules should be designed so that gates will fall," said Kinhofer. Here, the expert refers to several controversial hand play decisions by the referee at the last Bundesliga weekend. Two goals and a penalty had been revoked due to unintentional hand game but. The new rule prescribes that a random hand play is subject in a clear goal-scoring opportunity.

Daniel Ginczek in a 2:2 between Wolfsburg and Freiburg's head had made the supposed to be 3:0 for the hosts, the Ball but still minimal, with the tips of fingers touched: The hit is not counted. The decisions of his former colleagues were "according to rule, is absolutely correct, but it is to make the Fan difficult to explain," said Kinhöfer.

At the end of Ginczek took it with Humor. "I have never had the luck that I have been deprived of two goals but," he said in a Sky Interview and he laughed even more. This Laugh must be very difficult. Because the striker from Wolfsburg was the unlucky one this fourth last Bundesliga match day. Two goals Ginczek scored on Saturday against Freiburg, but both were cancelled after the use of the video evidence again.

Instead of a direct competitor to hang out, is the Europa League-qualification of the VfL now in limbo. In the 22. Minute, scored Ginczek first of all, the supposed to be 2:0 for his Team. But then referee Bastian stated Dankert, when looking at the video images that the striker was in an Offside position, but that it was in the penalty area, a Foul for the free burgers Nicolas Höfler. So he cancelled the goal, but at least the penalty and the transformed Wout Weghorst (27.).
