Var debate 2019/20

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

That may well be what the PL said ... but that is not what Law 12 says anywhere.

Nor does Law 12 differentiate between attackers and defenders in its application.

Law 12 also says it was a penalty for Rodri

Read Law 12 on the FA site .... it’s all there in black and white.
 
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
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?
I'm using poetic licence as we all know Kane wouldn't have done that
 
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 error
