       Can someone explain how that was not a penalty for Leicester
       after Marvelous Nakamba handled inside the area. Seemed to tick
       all the boxes for one unnatural made himself bigger. So how both
       Dean (had a great view) and Mason decide that's not a penalty
       under new interpretations I don't understand.

       This is why when commentators from non VAR games say, VAR would
       have had a look at that, I think, with these officials, it still
       wouldn't be given, the officials aren't good enough.
       I had a feeling that the Shrewsbury handball vs Liverpool
       wouldn't be the only handball this week.

       I don't really remember this specific incident but I think
       (defensive) handballs are still very rarely given in England as
       a general rule.
       I thought Mike Dean's general handling of the game was excellent
       and it was a very enjoyable cup tie.

       That’s all well and good. But the main thing referees are judged
       on - decision making (KMI’s) - and Mike dean got this wrong.

       The card shark is performing miles better than Taylor at
       present. He is pretty close to Oliver IMO for the best official
       in recent times.

       Is this the one we're talking about?

       I'm not really surprised that wasn't given. Very few penalties
       have been given for handball in Premier League this season, even
       fewer by VAR. I think the benefit tends to go to the defender
       rather than the law book consistently in England - in general, I
       prefer PL's approach than Europe where I think handballs are
       often given very generously.

       I could just about understand if it hit the hand in front of his
       face (although trying to head the ball might be an idea) but it
       hits the back hand, away from his body.
       If attackers are having goals ruled out for non deliberate but
       game changing handballs then this to me is a penalty.
