And that's the rule around handball leading up to a goal.
It does hit the arm, it leaves the officials with no other way to go than to apply the rules of the game.
And that is issue one.
This law isn't appropriate.
I don't feel it's right.
Some people may feel it is, but I think that law will change in time.
The second point is around VAR.
VAR has nothing to do with that goal.
I'm not defending VAR, but ultimately, you see there now it's Declan Rice's arm and it moves forward.
and the referee doesn't spot it, but VAR does, which implies the rules of the game.
So there's two different issues there, and we shouldn't conflict them.
What I would say is that Declan Rice in that interview has talked about that being a great point for West Ham United.
That is absolutely the culture and mentality of that club that needs to change.
They've got such talented players in that team.
Yes, Sheffield United has been a good team this season.
Bramall Lane's been a difficult place to come, but saying that they played well and that it would have been a great point on the road for me...
can't buy into that that's a bigger issue for West Ham United than getting that decision against them tonight because those fans behind that goal I said to you I think after five minutes look at all those West Ham fans that have come here tonight and the reason that they should be disappointed is because there is a mentality within that football club that think it's
okay and it's a great result to come to Sheffield United and get a point irrespective of the fact this is a good team it's been fantastic this season I don't think they did play well West Ham United yeah they had two or three moments they could have easily scored one or two goals but it wasn't a good performance and I think ultimately VAR has nothing to do with that goal at the end it was the rule and Chris Wilder has now joined us Chris Wilder has joined us Chris congratulations on the win how does it feel to win in that way?
