    Awful decision by the ref there. The ball clearly touches the body first and then it touches the arm.

    So, I may be entirely wrong here, but I thought it’s only considered a handball if intent can be reasonably presumed (or you’re doing something wildly stupid with your arms, the ball hits them and drastically changes direction etc)?

    As I say, I could be totally wrong with that, but I don’t see how this would count as a handball if I’m not. Definite contact with the forearm, but zero chance of intent or even ability to expect it, really.

    Games done and nothing we can do about it anymore

    But I’m over seeing the constant VAR fuck ups, either use it properly or don’t use it at all.

    Why even have a ref on the field if VAR are just going to overrule them or give wrong advice

    Scandalous decision. If you allow this to be a pen, pretty soon you are going to have attackers purposely trying to lift the ball into the hands of defenders from point blank range to win pens. Completely goes against the spirit and integrity of the game and just plain common sense. Common sense isn’t so common I suppose…
