The Handball

I've been trying since the game to give myself a reason to believe why the handball was given as a goal. Still been unable to find it.... although various people think it was the right decision including dermot Gallagher but not given a reasonable reason as to why

Bloody hell lads...don't think the Hand of god has been talked about as much as this.

His tends to be a much more gentle touch...

Dermot Gallagher is a gobshite.

Exactly the same as Sameda on MacAlister.

I beg to differ. He told us that different referees have different interpretations. Now get back in your box like a good 'small team' supporter..

If the situation had been reversed and it was an Everton player handled the ball in an attack would the goal have stood ?
We all know the answer is that it wouldn't.

However, in this instance VAR did what it should have done but it came down to cowardly refereeing where the referee did not want to be the man who potentially cost Arsenal the title.

I'm pretty sure there was one the week after the Onana challenge which was given as a red. When he was asked about that one, he said it was a red. When the sky fella asked how it was different from the Onana challenge, he just smiled and said something like "because that was a yellow".

He's a prick and part of the sky/premier league gravy train.

Why did VAR even send him to the screen? They should have just gone you missed a handball in the lead up to the goal so no goal, rule it out.
