[swoopy]

Absolute bollocks that. Fucking var.

[Garlicbread]

Wait why do we want Burnley? I have Kompany

Go ahead of Everton I assume?

[JRed]

That was higher up the arm than Rodri’s handball against Everton.

[Nick110581]

I hate this ref.

[AllyouneedisRush]

Shocking

[Carras Left Foot]

This ref is a bellend, proper wanting the attention

[Studgotelli]

What the fuck is wrong with these refs

[rob1966]

VAR telling the ref it was a deliberate handball? Fuck off

[Wghennessy]

Thats a joke. Disgusting decision

[Chakan]

How the fu... Darren England.

Nevermind.

[Nick110581]

I didn’t think that part was handball

[Jm55]

Wait why do we want Burnley? I have Kompany

I assume because it pushes the shite further down to the abyss.

That and the fact that Forest are fucking scabs.

[Pistolero]

what a load of fuckin shite.....typical Darren England incompetence fucked Burnley up the ring there

[Golyo]

VAR telling the ref it was a deliberate handball? Fuck off

It does not have to be deliberate to be a foul.

[Father Ted]

Terrible decision.

[davidlpool1982]

Did they change the rule from it being only if the goalscorer handballed it (accidental or not)? I'm sure that was the rule at one point. They fuck about with the handball rule so often, I have no fucking idea anymore

[4pool]

Get Youtube tv

get Sling tv...cheaper yet.

[Golyo]

Why are you rooting for Tory town here?

neither do they.

What we need is teams pulling away and leaving 3 others adrift at the bottom, rather than all bunching up so one win gets Everton out of the bottom 3.

[Elzar]

Thought it was handball myself - his arms out and he controls it with his arm just below the ‘tshirt line’ and gains an advantage as a result.

[Wghennessy]

It does not have to be deliberate to be a foul.

His movement is natural though, they are suggesting hes put his arms there on purpose to essentially control the ball.

I thought that also... even so, that wasn't deliberate, it touched the sleave and it was in the action of running onto the bouncing ball with the defender coming in from the side. I.e natural movement

[only6times]

Everton rivals

The goalscorer handball is if it hits any part of the hand no matter of intention. They’ve ruled that as an act of deliberate handball as he has gained an advantage by putting his arms in that position. It didn’t just fly up and hit him on the ball. So they can rule it out as a result.

Thats what I thought. Thats what the replay showed.

Yes they did. Seems they went old school with that one to be honest.

[12C]

This plum on Co comms on sky.
He fucking controlled the ball with his arm. And this plum is saying ooooh not deliberately

[Boston always unofficial]

I'm happy watching it en espanol and  thought ya man knocked it forward with his bicep for the handball.

[rob1966]

It does not have to be deliberate to be a foul.

In this case it does

Not every touch of aplayer’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence.

It is an offence if a player:
scores in the opponents’ goal:
• directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the
goalkeeper
• immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental

He didn't score, he passed it, so it doesn't fall within the accidental area - that's why England is saying its deliberate,

[shank94]

“Fckin hold my leg mate” 

[Elzar]

Yeah, he isn’t defending his position from the defender at that point, it’s not a natural position from him running. He put his arm up to try control it with his chest, and it’s hit his arm and gained an advantage as a result. Handball every time to me.

[4pool]

7 minutes time added on coming up

[AllyouneedisRush]

Yeah, he isn’t defending his position from the defender at that point, it’s not a natural position from him running. He put his arm up to try control it with his chest, and it’s hit his arm and gained an advantage as a result. Handball every time to me.

For me he is anticipating the contact... pre VAR that's a goal as it could never be seen in real time.

[Dim Glas]

uhoh, red card?  Threw an elbow.

[shank94]

That’s a red

[Wghennessy]

Fucking idiot. clear red

[John C]

I think that's harsh. Hardly violent?
