totally agree, even if we won the league it would feel oddly fake and meaningless, I’ll be taking my boy to the local Conference north team’s matches, I really don’t see the point in Everton any more as a club.

First bit is VAR taking the piss and covering for not having the right angle.
The second bit is the VAR guru smoking meth because by that logic every single challenge or attempt at a challenge is a red card.
The statement should read: “hahahahaha how are you guys still watching this?! we’re just sat here getting off our cakes and having an absolute laugh here you stupid mugs #BanterAR”

Law 12
It is usually an offence if a player:
The above offences apply even if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close.
- touches the ball with their hand/arm when:
- the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger
- the hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level (unless the player deliberately plays the ball which then touches their hand/arm)
-------
It's a clear penalty.
I was ready to fume, then I followed the link as I saw the word "usually".
It is only definitely an offence if the handball is deliberate, or the hand moved towards the ball. I don't think either applies to Alli's arm. I think this may be the difference between the attacker/defender advantage I mentioned earlier.
So this case falls into the "usually" category. Obviously this means there are reasons you might not give a pen as it's a bit less black and white. I reckon they've looked at it and thought that although his arm's up and it touches the ball, it doesn't really have any great effect on the trajectory/speed, so they've made a call that a pen would be too harsh a punishment. Which I actually fully agree with.
None of this actually rules out the possibility that we've been done over and that the same decision will be made elsewhere (I guarantee that an identical pen is given before Christmas), but I can't really fume about this.
Unless someone can explain exactly what "usually" means.
The 'Son' incident wasn't a penalty. Mina's knee/thigh may (or may not) have brushed against his leg but that shouldn't make you throw both of your legs back in the air. If he's that delicate/has such poor balance as that, i'm amazed he can stand up straight in a light breeze never mind hold someone off on a football pitch (when he's not in the penalty box of course). The contact wasn't enough to make him fall over, therefore it was a dive, therefore he should have been booked.
PS - his tackle on Gomez was not a sending off offence either. It may have been the catalyst for the horror injury but it didn't cause it in and of itself - that was caused by studs catching in the turf or the other spurs player coming in to the tackle. The sending off was the ref's emotional reaction to the seriousness of the injury - and another example of how incompetent he was/is.

What's new in 2019/20: Handball rule change
See the main law amendments that Premier League players and fans will need to be aware in 2019/20

Another big change is to do with the position of a player's hand/arm.
If the ball hits a player who has made their body "unnaturally bigger" then a foul will be awarded.
IFAB says that having the hand/arm above shoulder height is rarely a "natural" position and a player is "taking a risk" by having the hand/arm in that position

he's not even LOOKING at the ball, He's jumping and his arms are above his head and it's bounced off his hand, Absolute farce.
