Charged by the FA again but this time he spoke the truth, it was shocking refereeing by Dean.
So you can get away with calling players divers, cheats, get away with assaulting players but say how it is about a ref and its a charge.
karma for gobbing off about raz,lots of karma being dealt out at the moment

This is a difficult one because his hand hit the ball rather than the other way around. But it wasn't something he intended to do as it was so close to him , it just coincidentally happened so by the laws of the game, as he didn't intentionally hand ball it, it shouldn't have been a penalty.
 
No, there is Mike Dean.

But he also thought Shawcross pushing Sterling in the chest with both hands last season, was a pen, to Stoke, and a booking.

I watched the game with an Arsenal fan and he thought it was a penalty, he thought he moved his arm towards the ball.

Personally I thought it’s one you want given for you but feel it’s soft against.

Maybe they should introduce a new offence of ball to hand. Ball hits hand and you get an indirect free kick, wherever it occurs. Deliberate handball results in a direct free kick, as now. Would solve a lot of nonsense.

I actually think it was both a foul and a dive, not too dissimilar to Bernardo vs Burnley (Hazard was a bit more of a flop though).

The problem is that Hazard was 100% looking to go over. I knew before the foul that if he won the ball he'd go down and I doubt I was alone. I guess as Wenger said as Sterling, (albeit wrongly) we know what kind of player he is.
