What do you want a handball in the box to look like? 

Not hit at close distance

Arm in an odd position

Denying us possession in a good area

Obvious pen

For all that, it was obviously accidental, not an attempt to cheat. Simply missed the header, and his arm was in a normal position for someone jumping.

I agree that the spirit of the original handball rule would see that not given, and if I could set the rules, it wouldn't be as it was accidental. However, given the recent directives around handball, and the precedent set by other incidents, it should be given.

My summary:

1. the handball rule nowadays is a complete joke of a rule

2. it was a clear penalty in line with that rule.

I totally agree. I just prefer a rule that requires intent, as judged by the ref. It’s simple and more just.
