       Between the 4 of them they certainly appeared to get all the big
       decisions right. Both teams, in fairness, did try and play. This
       often comes when you have faith in a referee that they will get
       things right, protect you if needs be and allow the game to be
       the thing everyone will talk about.
       Good luck to Luton next year, from experience I know what a
       snarling, bear pit it will be. Will definitely test some of the
       PL pretty boys

       Disagree.  It's just about the only part of the handball
       law/interpretation that is definite and unambiguous. And morally
       fair too.

       Whilst much of the current interpretation of the handball Law is
       a nonsense, this is not.  As Nemesis says, it is clear and
       morally right.
       What was interesting to see, however, was that there were two
       instance of a player benefitting from an inadvertent handball
       and (correctly) being penalised without a word of dissent or
       theatrics from anyone on either side.  Indeed, in the first
       instance, the player actually put his hands up - not in
       celebration, but in admission of the inadvertent "crime".
       This shows that the game can be played without the addition of
       open dissent, crowding the referee, etc. and it was a much
       better spectacle as well.  Perhaps the fact that the players
       knew they had one of the very best referees currently operating
       in world football helped.

       Would have been interesting to see what Oliver gave had the
       Luton guy who inadvertently handled had squared it and they
       scored anyway.
