Really? It looked tamer than the Watford one yesterday and that was and enough. Son just made a meal of it

He pretty much sat on his shin... In the modern game it would have been far less soft than most imo.

FWIW I'm enjoying seeing Spurs be awful, I just can't get my head around VAR
 
Great pass leading to the Spurs goal...pity it was from an Everton player!

It’s not about being deliberate, his arm is above his head. Can’t see why it wasn’t given.

I get its above his head, it just looks like that's the way Ali jumped at the time he certainly wasn't looking to handball it hell he wasn't even looking at the ball.

Either way took VAR far too long, another annoying thing I find with var.
 
That's shocking. His arm is above his head, it's handball. I'll have to find the video from the start of the season when one of the ref's explained how VAR will be used because I'm sure in it he says that VAR will award handballs if the player's arm is above his head. It's not been a good weekend for VAR with the controversy around Firmino's offside with the recalibrating of the offside lines after initially showing him to be onside.

What counts as deliberate changed years ago. You no longer need to move your arm to the ball. If your arm is in a position not seen as natural and the ball hits it, it's handball.
