The handball rule has been changed. You can score with your upper arm, which effectively extends to the end of the sleeve of a short-sleeved shirt. Which is where they measured to.

It's bollocks in my view but that's what it is.

I think the 'technical' definition is a line level with the bottom of a resting armpit. I still don't see why it needed moving from the point of the shoulder.

At a guess I'd say it's an attempt to clarify the handball rules. But once VAR got involved it's had completely the opposite effect. Obviously.

These VAR tw*ts couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery, could they?

Ahem I would just like to say I returned to pre match duties and we won.  You’re welcome.
