Said it was a handball last night, looks clear as day from that angle.
Ref was very poor all game, looked completely out of his depth | |

Usually bad refs go against us.Thought Saturdays was poor. | | | |

Just another shit decision in a full 90mins of them, he spent the rest of the game trying to even it up and gave them practically everything possible. | | | |

"Handball decisions" remain something of a lottery with many unintentional "ball to hand" contacts being deemed a direct free kick (or penalty if in the area).
Currently, it should only be an offence if deemed deliberate, but many interpret "gaining an advantage" or a hand/arm being in an "unnatural" position as grounds to award such a free kick/penalty.
In my opinion the majority of handballs given are nevertheless unintentional.
One solution would be to see any contact with hand or arm as an infringement regardless of intent. (similar to contact of the ball with a foot in hockey).
However I would prefer allowing the award of an indirect free kick for "accidental handball" with a direct free kick (or penalty if in the goal area) for a deliberate infringement.
(PS I would also suggest that instead of allowing goal kicks to be retaken when the ball is played without leaving the area, the attacking side should instead be awarded an indirect free kick. Those that seek to play it out from the back at a restart should not be let off when they misjudge the pressure applied by the opposition forwards.) | |

From next season, goal-kicks don’t need to leave the area before being played by another player. | |

I thought it bounced up and hit is hand, but we have all seen them been given by referees in the past and we have such decisions favour the opposition over the season. | | | |

Definitely handball.
It couldn't have gone against a nicer manager. | | | |

He might have deemed it accidental which it sort of was - no way Jim could have anticipated the unexpected bounce | | | |

The Sunderland fan interviewed before Saturday's game for the preview on here said he couldn't believe how sh1te the refs at this level were. This season seems to have had more than its share of head scratchers, but could just be my imagination. | |
