Honestly doesn’t. It’s a subjective call. Was at my local referees association meeting last month discussing the hand ball rule for 90 minutes. Talked about selling the decision which was a new one on me. You can have handball given for a non deliberate actActually it does. The ruling is deliberate handball.
The one above is part of the new roleIsn't that the new rule being discussed?
i think you can debate the decision all day long, I have seen it three times outside of the game and still unsure. Bit more than a Yellow and not quite a red (orange card??). The whole thing was a farce, Millwall and Swansea didn't have it and Wolves and Watford had it?! All of which had some decisions that would have been altered by VAR (not sure about Watford as I didn't watch it). If we cannot be consistent then you have to turn it off for all, it would be like removing penalties in one game and not the other?!The problem is they don't seem to be using the system correctly. Its only supposed to be overturned if its an clear error. Don't see how you apply that to the red.

I have never been a fan, don't like that teams cannot celebrate a goal before being validated by VAR as the ref seems to overly nervous to make a decision by himself (don't blame them to be honest), I don't like the delays and the fact that it now seems to be the choice for everything rather than key decisions. Its only going to get worse.
get that and we will always have these types of issues but that's isolated incidents rather than what now is the norm.But to balance that out, look at the Bradford game. They didn't have it and it took all of 6 minutes to decide if it was a goal for Oxford, a goal kick retake for Bradford, and between the referee and two linesmen they made a mess of it.

Definite penalty for me. Clearly using his arm to increase the size of the barrier he was making and a yellow card. Anything else and the ref supervisor would be mentioning it in the report
Nope I’m not. Most refs would give that 80% I reckonWhat you’re struggling to separate here is the silly interpretation of the laws and the reality that people need to use arms for balance etc.
Try sliding as if you’re blocking a ball but keep your arms exactly by your sides.
