       Peter Wright Sunderland v Ipswich

       Penalty to Sunderland for a defender heading the ball against
       his team mates hand. Oh dear oh dear.
       I can see why Ipswich were so incensed about the decision but
       we were on the back of two horrendously bad decisions last
       season that ultimately cost us four points and basically
       promotion into the Championship.
       Good decision though on the sending off of Andre Dozzell and I
       don't think the Ipswich complaints were justified.

       The "handball" was one of the worst penalty decisions I have
       ever seen.
       The red card for Dozzell was incredibly harsh both in isolation
       and in the context of everything else in the game. It is
       reported that Mike Jones had personally told Paul Lambert that
       he disagreed with the decision.
       The coin used by the appeals team came down the wrong way.
       As autologically named referees go, this one couldn't be more
       wrong.

       Hand is above shoulder level - it's a penalty.
       As for the red card, when you're lunging in like this...

       ...and your foot is high enough that it rolls over the top of
       the ball and you take the opponent out, I don't think you can
       argue too much about it being a sending off. The only caveat to
       that for me is that I've only seen a slow-mo replay, which makes
       it difficult to judge the amount of force in the tackle.

       Not much. He's falling backwards at the time:

       He's tackled straight legged with a high foot, you are always in
       trouble if that makes contact and the referee sees it.  The
       handball is harsh, but his arm is up high so again is taking a
       big risk.

       There can be no-one in football, bar maybe a few referees and
       administrators, who think that is the type of offence that the
       handball law is intended to penalise.
       Especially galling when a tackle just as reckless and dangerous
       against Ipswich today isn't even penalised, a penalty far more
       blatant isn't given and they are knocked out by a clearly
       offside goal.
       Very poor from Abbas Khan and I don't think Andy Haines has got
       many, if any, seasons ahead of him.

       UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has written to FIFA
       counterpart Gianni Infantino, asking the game’s governing body
       to adjust the handball law. It follows a rise in what Ceferin
       deems “unfair decisions” against players.

       How was the 'winner* not offside?

       The performance by Andy Haines was as poor as I have seen at
       Portman Road for a long time. Oh yes Mr Young last season!!
       How he and his ARs missed a blatant penalty, a possible red card
       challenge and the clearly 'offside' goal baffles me. As Matt
       Holland commented ' he's given nothing all day but a foul
       throw!'
       It is one of those performances where it would be interesting to
       read the assessors report.

       Rather laughably Haines said that he didn't give the penalty
       because the Ipswich player did the first foul.  He certainly
       didn't blow for a free kick for that non existent foul.
       As for the possible red card challenge, I'm really not sure of
       Haines' logic of it not being a foul because the Portsmouth
       player got to the ball first.  He was certainly off the ground
       for that challenge.
