Watch it in normal speed it’s natural movement! That’s what the referee should look at first watch it in normal play then in slow motion!
One thing for Certain at the other end Coote wouldn’t have brought it to the referees attention!

His arms are moving downwards as he falls, the he just flicks his left arm up and hits the ball. I don't think it was deliberate, but it happened.That's in the section beginning, "deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm", but it clearly isn't deliberate from Grealish
This is the bit you should focus on: "touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation.". All you need to do is watch Grealish jump to see that his arms are moving due to his desperate leap to head the ball. You can even see him try and move his hand back downwards
That the refs decided his movement was unnatural shows they've never jumped for a ball in their lives. Farcical decision.
it flicks up after his hand hits the ball...it happens so quickly because he's also too close to react. Lindelof on the other hand can juggle with the ball and no penalty is given.Mate, his arms are both coming down as he falls, then his left arm just flicks up and his hand hits the ball.

What you drinkingGrealish clearly moved his hand upwards onto the ball though...
Have you heard what Jack said
It was a glance on his finger tips had no affect on the flight of the ball was virtually invisible to at the time only on video was it seen
The pundits were unanimous in that "yes" under the law it was right BUT the law is wrong Next season that wont be handball
If City had ben the attacking team and the ball had been touched by Grealish in the same way then Haaland scored it would have been allowed Why is that OK
Coote was looking to help the rags and he did it three times

Honestly think the de Bruyne challenge would've been given as a penalty if it was a united player on the receiving end
When its subjective it goes against City. There must be stats around that. I'd love to see them.
There was something on Twitter that us and Brighton had the most bad decisions the scum scousers had more favourable decisions
No he didn't, he was jumping for a header and would have exactly the same movements if the ball hadnt hit his arm. He wasnt even looking at the ball so impossible for him to move his arm to the ball.First line "moving the hand/arm towards the ball". Grealish moved his hand upwards, and it hit the ball.
What do some people watch….
This is an example of what you describe. A player looking at the ball and moving his arm deliberately towards it and playing it. Funnily enough, no penalty!!

That fat **** studding akanji was a fucking disgrace and they got the fucking free kick.
We basically have to be miles better just to win 2-1There was something on Twitter that us and Brighton had the most bad decisions the scum scousers had more favourable decisions
If it’s a 50/50 game we have no chance
There’s a shock the two best footballing teams against the two biggest teamsThere was something on Twitter that us and Brighton had the most bad decisions the scum scousers had more favourable decisions
It’s not even subtle
