In all seriousness, Sergio's WAS a handball, it was just one of those that could only be seen in slow-mo whereas the lino had a PERFECT view of Sanchez putting it in with his hand and how he didn't give the decision is beyond me.As you were. :-P

Very few penalties would actually be correct if it was only deliberate handballs that were given.The mind boggles. Or they're just bent fuckers.

I suppose the whole "arms/hands in unnatural positions" bit is deliberately nebulous and open to subjective interpretation when it suits.Very few penalties would actually be correct if it was only deliberate handballs that were given.

There is at least an argument that Aguero's hand was in a 'natural' position.
Had it been above his head, or Sane's for that matter, I recon there is a 100% chance of it being called handball.
Thought he was pretty good tonight. The spot for the tug on Stones was a difficult one to see in real time (and I'm intrigued to know what the agenda-ists think of it). The penalty shout for Sane was one that you want when it's your player, but would say is soft if given against you. The bookings for Toure, Sterling and Sane were fair, as were theirs. Think he gave a few soft ones in their favour (like when Toure clearly won the ball), but we're splitting hairs.

It usually means if your arm is raised up, like Sanchez.
Unless you are John Terry or a Utd player.

Ref had a good game. Good spot to disallow their goal. Thought Stones should have been stronger in that situation
