    If he didn’t handball it there’d be no punishment. It’s not fair on clubs who don’t handball in their area, regardless of mitigating circumstances.

    As long as others are treated the same way in future Newcastle should be punished.

    The UEFA interpretation of the handball law is just awful. No one that has ever played football before could think that should be a penalty

    The handball rule/decisions in Europe are fkn whack. Only a matter of time before this happened at a truly consequential moment

    Man United - Copenhagen was a wild match but neither of those ‘should’ be hand balls if common sense is involved. Can’t remember the others off the top of my head but I’ve disliked pretty much every handball call I’ve seen in the CL this season

    Shocking decision. But love the absurdity/hilarity of the reaction to this decision by BT commentary team vs Sky and Gary Neville during the Newcastle Arsenal.

    I’d never heard the word stooping used with such authoritive and nuanced technicality.
