    1. Yeah good shout, I just know certain fans/pundits don’t like complicated rules so tried to keep it simple but your method is better.

    2. Sorry, I think I was unclear… Above the end of the sleeve meaning on the sleeve is fine. I don’t think that’s the current rule as I’ve seen many recent decisions when they’ve given handball for the ball hitting the sleeve. If that’s not the case, I refer back to #1.

      1. You’re right. Commentators have been saying for years it was the bottom of the sleeve, but the actual rule says bottom of the armpit. That’s close to the bottom of the sleeve, depending on the length of the sleeve, but not technically the rule.
