One option would be: handball deemed intentional = penalty ball striking the hand unintentionally but in a way that alters the path of the ball to the detriment of the attacking team = indirect free kick (maybe to be taken a minimum of 10 yards out). There would be no advantage in deliberately aiming for a defender's hand, yet reflects the fact that the defender has gained an advantage via their hand/arm, which they are not allowed to do. On the other hand, maybe it's just better to leave things as they are and accept that hitting someone's hand/arm is a natural hazard of the sport, as with the ball hitting the ref/corner flag/balloons  Sometimes things just get in the way and it's not the defender's fault that the ball was hit towards their arm. That is the best suggestion about a change to the rules of football that I have ever heard. Ladmonkey, you are a genius. ...for a girl. Are you sure I'm a girl? Do you know something I don't?

It's this damn dyslexia. Which is another thing I dont believe exists*. Hmmm, where's that other thread... *er.. even though I have it.
Yes, all right.. Christ Almighty! It's like walking down a corridor and answering the door in Nazi Germany! |

| Ooh, and it's another thing I believe everyone has to a certain degree, though mostly not to a person's detriment in day to day life.

Yeah, I reckon everyone has their sticking point to a greater or lesser degree. My thing is numbers, I have to concentrate quite hard to read out or write down numbers e.g. on the phone (though maths is fine). It doesn't cause me huge amounts of trouble, but I am aware that I find it harder than words. Everyone also seems to have certain words that they just can't say or spell, too.

Talking of words people find hard to say. Multiplication is one I have trouble with. And... Finger. Dont ask me why but I it always comes out Thinger.

Well how does it sit in your theorem that I have no trouble with numbers but my ability to decipher alpha experiences periods of normality and periods of 'oh my god, I cant read anymore?! How has this happened?! Is this the first stage of blindness?!!'. I actually do think that some days I cannneh read properly.

| Fits in just fine. Imagine if you had that constantly instead of intermittently and you'd have dyslexia. As it is though, it's not enough of a problem to affect your daily life to too great an extent, so that you constantly struggle. As with all these things, I don't think there is a 'normal' functioning and a 'defective' one. Just a spectrum in which the extreme part of the range effectively has a disability. Not to say that I don't think some people claim dyslexia/ADHD/whatever despite not really being justified in doing so - I doubt so many people are actually in the pathological range.
