'I hope we get out, Brexit... because you cannot have someone telling us how to do our own game': Sky Sports pundit Ian Holloway bizarrely blames EU for controversial new handball rule
Ian Holloway made the bizarre claim on Sky Sports' 'The Debate' on Tuesday
The 56-year-old claimed that he hopes Brexit gets implemented quickly
He was speaking about the new handball rule, which has come in for criticism
Gabriel Jesus had a goal disallowed against Tottenham following a VAR check
Ian Holloway has made the bizarre claim that the European Union is to blame for the controversial new handball rule in the Premier League.
The new law has come in for plenty of criticism in the early weeks of the season and was particularly in the spotlight after Manchester City had a goal disallowed in injury time during their 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham.
Gabriel Jesus struck right at the death but, after celebrating wildly for a couple of minutes, it was ruled out as Aymeric Laporte was adjudged to have brushed the ball with his hand in the build up to the goal.
Before the season started, the Premier League stated: 'Any goal scored or created with the use of the hand or arm will be disallowed this season, even if it is accidental.'
After Michael Oliver originally let the goal stand, it was checked by VAR before it was eventually disallowed.
But speaking on The Debate show on Sky Sports alongside Geoff Shreeves and Kevin Phillips, Holloway suggested he wants Britain to leave the EU as soon as possible as you cannot have 'people telling us how to do our own game'.
