Saw Bozanic get pinged for handball in the middle of the pitch when the ball hit him on his shoulder sleeve earlier this season - what should have been no handball under the new rules. The ref for some reason was reaching for his card and motioned it hit him on the sleeve. Ollie pointed out the rule and he didn't get a card (which was not warranted even if it was a handball). Handball stood - should have been a drop ball after the referee's mistake.
Again no VAR last night and it was a 2-2 draw and I could live with that a lot better than this second guessing that has all the time in the world and still gets it wrong. The refs will make mistakes - so what. Life isn't always fair - neither is football, But why ruin football with VAR.
