FYI: Pravilo ne glasi da je obujam tijela proširen i utječe na igru, već da je igrač dodirnuo rukom loptu kada ta ruka neprirodno povećava obujam tijela. Smatra se da je igrač neprirodno povećao obujam tijela kada položaj ruke nije posljedica, ili opravdan, kretnjom tijela za tu specifičnu situaciju.

Citiram:"

Not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence.

It is an offence if a player:

- deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball
- touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised."

Sudac mora procjenjivati položaj ruke u odnosu na to što je igrač radio u toj konkretnoj situaciji. ("Referees must judge the ‘validity’ of the hand/arm’s position in relation to what the player is doing in that particular situation.")

Iz ovoga jasno proizlazi da je sudac donio dobru odluku jer igrač Gorice nije igrao namjerno, niti je neprirodno povećao obuajm tijela budući da je položaj ruke bio posjedica njegove kretnje.
