       I know that his hands are not outside the body line, but surely
       if the play has deliberately moved his hands to the ball then
       this should be disallowed. A shocker from Mike Dean (what a
       surprise!!!) on VAR.

       For me, that was a definite handball by the West Ham player in
       the build up, that the referee should be picking up real time;
       he used his hand to move the ball forward. Once it’s gone to VAR
       they wouldn’t bring it back as it wasn’t the player who scored.

       Another poor decision from (No Surprise) Mike Dean again on VAR.
       Yet again, how many shockers from him this season.

       Coote doesn't even have the bottle to bin off the Bournemouth
       manager. He would know where the stands were if it was me; he'd
       be warming them up in the 2nd half!

       Was it Mahrez who had a goal disallowed for handball. The ball
       then did not directly go into goal. Here we decide the issue is
       did he handle the ball in the build up as the ball did not go
       directly into goal. His hands were in a natural position so did
       he shovel the ball towards goal using his hands or turn his
       upper body to chest it in? I will let others decide but handball
       law is farcical or at least its interpretation.

       I ask again…. What is a handball these days?
       I’m completely baffled now after Big Brother comes in and gives
       a spot kick.

       Not a clue what handball is anymore. AFCB have every right to
       feel hard done by. Surely it’s either both or neither, in terms
       of the big decisions in this game.
       It does seem we are having a run of penalties given for handball
       where a player sliding in to block the ball, has his hands in a
       natural position for that specific movement and is penalised.

       On the first one it can only be disallowed if deemed to be
       intentional, there's no possible way it could be said it
       immediately led to a goal so can't be penalised if accidental.
       Personally I don't think it was intentional, rather as he turns
       his body his arms, which are very low, just strike the ball.
       For the second one there is no doubt whatsoever, the look on
       Zemura's face immediately after said it all, he 100% knew he had
       given a penalty away even though it hadn't immediately been
       given.  His arm was way out from his body, no way are you
       getting away with that with VAR in use.

       It just gets worse with every game in the PL.
       THe only answer is that players should strap their arms to their
       sides because IFAB et al would consider that a natural position.
       It would be fun to see players running with no aid to balance,
       having difficulty getting up when they fall over, however, it
       would alleviate all debate. Have these people ever played the
       game?
       I saw Kieran Trippier have a penalty awarded against him on 17
       November 2012 at Burnley when he was running across goal with
       his hands by his side and the ball hit him. A penalty was
       awarded and Kieran was sent off in the 15th minute by Bobby
       Madley. That penalty won the game for Charlton.
       I am totally past baffled!.
