It’s going to be like this for us and Spurs to the end of the season. Both teams finding ways to fuck it up as Man U creep up and take 4th. We haven’t been at the races at all today.

Bizarre they can give that handball and not give us a penalty first half


The latter won't be part the narrative despite the score today.

I very much hope you're wrong with this prediction, mate.

You've posted it a couple of times now and each time I've sighed and shook my head, hoping you'll be wrong 😂

Not really. Any goal scored after a ball hits a hand / arm, it's disallowed. Intent doesn't come into it.

To be an offence anywhere else, it needs to be deliberate.

So that was handball but the penalty claim in 1st half wasn't.... i don't understand the rules anymore

Any handball by the scorer in the build-up, even accidently is classed as handball. By the defender and they can state ball to hand or no movement or any number of excuses.

Any kind of handball by a goalscorer is automatically a goal disallowed. Handball by a defender isn't automatically a penalty.
