       ...although that phrase is prefaced by the words 'Except for the
       above offences,'
       And those above offences include it being an offence if the ball
       touches a player's hand when:
       touches the ball with their hand/arm when:
       the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger
       the hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level (unless the
       player deliberately plays the ball which then touches their
       hand/arm

       How can it be a game winning decision when the score became 1/0
       and the game ended 4-3?

       It really depends on which team you support! A penalty was
       given, VAR didn't say it wasn't a penalty. no point in any
       further argument. VAR rules!
       Hendrick got away with one for Newcastle tonight though!

       Disagree.. Correct decision from Michael Oliver.. Harsh maybe
       but he does make himself bigger....

       Interesting to read a report on a European based blog saying
       Oliver had been excellent in a tough game, correct penalties,
       correct disallowing of goals, perfect management, UEFA
       equivalent marks from 8.4 to 8.7.
       Handball is the area this year where we (the English) need to
       adapt

       It has long been the way that mainland Europe had a more strict
       adaptation of the LOTG & England in particular has tended to be
       more within the spirit of them.  Handball they always completely
       ignored the deliberate element & penalised everything.
       Funny as England are having to toughen up and get used to more
       of a strict interpretation of the Laws some of the Eastern
       European leagues have been told to slacken off a bit, encourage
       the use of advantages and stop giving out free kicks for every
       bit of minimal contact!

       Hackett is still pontificating that VAR should have intervened
       and Oliver looked at the monitor to correct an obvious error.
       What's the matter with him? He's still quoting 'not deliberate'
       and the fact the ball was deflected means no penalty.  Yet the
       links are there on his twitter blog to Dale Johnson's blog in
       which Rosetti's comments are quoted from before the 19/20 season
       which make it clear that a penalty should be awarded in that
       sort of incident.
       Does Hackett not read or understand the 'Except for the above
       offences' part of Law12?  And if he bothers to read
       Clattenburg's article in the Mail, he could educate himself why
       Oliver was 100% correct.

       I wouldn't hold out much hope for that. According to his tweets,
       he is "still shuddering" after reading Clattenburg's
       headline....

       I think Mr Hackett is the one who needs to update himself on the
       LOTG not Clatts (as told to by Hackett) particularly in regards
       to the 'except for the above offences' part. Although I see
       someone pointed out that part to him so he then says the player
       was clearly trying to move his arm away  ::)
       Oh and Mr Rosetti is just stretching the interpretation to put a
       spin on his own view!
       I know which of the 2 I like, trust and respect and can
       understand why that one is the head of refereeing at UEFA and
       the other isn't!

       Keith Hackett and Jamie Carragher are living in the world of
       football in which I played and officiated and thoroughly
       enjoyed.
       The game has changed, IFAB have tampered with The Laws of the
       Game so much that the game is becoming unrecognisable to us
       older fans.
       The decision of a penalty, under modern interpretation, was
       correct and was backed up by VAR ---100% fail safe and what the
       modern fans wants.
       Mind you, if you watched Newcastle's game at West Ham you would
       have to say that Hendrick got away with one in the second half.
       No VAR intervention in this one.
       I used to know The Laws of the Game and their interpretation,
       however, I am becoming confused as to what the lawmakers are
       trying to achieve these days. The latest instruction to ARs is
       going to make the ARs look stupid because they are not being
       allowed to flag when the offence occurs.
       There are no fans at present, therefore, there is no abuse,
       however, imagine these situations with 40000+ fans in the
       stadium! No wonder officials are in short supply.

       I'm embarrassed for Hackett - calling Gallagher 'a muppet', etc.
       etc. Completely out of touch.
       I had to laugh at his claim that the current head of UEFA
       referees is just 'spinning things to suit his view'!
