As an alternative...Wolves fans currently singing “fuck VAR”.
Can see it getting aired at all grounds.
The rule itself is as clear as day.
"Any goal scored or created with the use of the hand or arm will be disallowed this season, even if it is accidental," says the Premier League.
Jesus' goal, technically, was created by the use of Laporte's arm, regardless of whether there was any intent.
The rule was changed after some high-profile goals were scored by the accidental use of a hand last season.
To give three Premier League examples:
Last August, Willy Boly scored for Wolves against Manchester City after the ball touched his arm.Alexandre Lacazette handled in the build-up to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal for Arsenal at Crystal Palace in October Sergio Aguero used his hand in scoring his third for Manchester City against Arsenal in February
City would NEVER get that penalty.Having just seen the Rag 'penalty' I can only say told you so. Bent.
City would NEVER get that penalty.
Edited, for realism.As an alternative...
"You can stick your fucking VAR up your arse...."
Similarly, if it had hit the defenders arm on Saturday (no penalty as this only applies to the attacker) and got cleared, then Kane volleyed it past Eddie would a goal have stood seeing as they got an advantage from the initial hand ball?If, KDB blasts a shot into packed penalty area and it hits aguero on the arm and rebounds back to the halfway line,
Where Eddie then blasts into the net from just inside his own half, would that be a goal or disallowed under the rule.
Obviously a goal wasnt scored directly following agueros contact, eg it didnt rebound into the goal. Now, normally
a ref wouldn't send a player off for a foul around halfway line particularly if he thought other defensive players could
be between the player & the goal, eg he or she would give a yellow as it wouldnt be deemed a goal scoring opportunity.
As Eddie is in his own half with probably all eleven opposition players in front of him, it's not a goalscoring opportunity,
So when does it become a goal scoring opportunity,?
When a goal is scored, as obviously it was an opportunity as he scored or by the same criteria they use to deem red not yellow
What I still don't get on penalties is "VAR wont overrule/review a referees decision" so why was oliver indicating var told him rodris wasn't a penalty , yet moss pointed straight to the spot when it looked like a clear dive , and var didn't get involved when it looked a refs CLEAR AND OBVIOUS errorCorrect.

It is as out of all decisions awarding/not awarding a penalty (which could and usually does have a major impact on a game) VAR doesn't get involved unless encroachment when taken , its a shamblesHe’s tapping the headset to say “var hasn’t said to check it”
It’s a fucking get out of jail free card for them.
The refs have briefed they won’t use it ffs. Pogba dives tonight, gets a penalty and there’s no check at all.
It’s a joke.
Depends who we’re playing.City would NEVER get that penalty.
Yes.Updates on any VAR incidents from tonights game anyone?
They identified a problem,boly handball goal v us,the solution should have been var check goals to make sure that doesn't happy,problem solved,the end,instead they have added a whole other layer and changed the rules completely,it should be the same at both ends,either any contact with the hand intentional or not counts or any hand outside the contour of the body is handball,having seperate handball rules means they can disallow lots of goals and give les pens,they needed common sense here not mission creepMaybe this has been pointed out earlier but I looked on the FA website and found a document explaining the changes.

It lists accidental the ‘handball’ situations which will result in a free kick including this one:
a player gains control/possession of the ball after it has touched their hand/arm and then scores, or creates a goal-scoring opportunity.
which as others have pointed out is clearly separating the handball from the player gaining control/possession.
Added to that even Duncan Castles thinks it was the wrong call.
I thought all pens given were looked at and only if clear and obvious mistake they will get involved and advise to overrule U could argue there wasn’t a clear and obvious error. The issue is when they are not given by the ref and he has missed it. Var is then open to whoever they decide to give penalties for. Which is wrong.
Well tonight Pogba dived and no contact was made and it never even got looked at. Fixed.
