ManUre v Chelski

[Sheffields Finest]

Not deliberate hand ball for me.. Play on!!

I'm not sure...

Natural position, possibly

But it was so far away from his body with such an outstretched arm...

Plus it's benefitted united massively

So I'm going handball!

And the point about benefitting Manure means what precisely?

Jeez man, it was sarcasm

No offence @es1 , but sarcasm doesn't transpose well into the written word; it lacks the visual and audible signals.........

 

[Sheffields Finest]

Apart from a few minor handbag reactions to challenges it looked a pretty tame game to referee!!

Fair enough
I'll make it more obvious next time, I'll put sone flashing lights up or something

(That was also sarcastic by the way )

Same for me, you could also argue he was trying to move his arm away from it.

Thank god there are some sane voices on here. Having to listen to the pundits go on about this being handball was painful.

I rather liked the argument from Jermaine Jenas that (if I understood him correctly) it had to be a handball because the Chelsea player had been trying to lift the ball over Herrera's foot, as if the intent of the player playing the ball somehow determines the nature of the act by the opponent whose hand it hits .
