SutekhWestYorksRoyal A lot of people criticise refs because they don't like the law. Complain at the lawmakers. Applying the laws as they are, it was a nailed on pen.

Agree. The law is (currently) an ass thanks to IFAB's relentless fiddling about trying to improve something that wasn't really broken in the first place. Ref's made mistakes with handballs before, now you get arses changing the law so it penalises every accidental touch of the ball by a hand thus making a farce of the game (and destroying the art of defending a bit more).
How on earth does it destroy the art of defending ffs?
What part of the art of defending involves waving your arm over your head whilst jumping to defend a corner?
