Mostly agree bit of a stretch to say Keane's 'handball' was anything like Murray's.......would have been a very tough decision. Bruno fouls in the box a lot but usually gets away with it, this time it was just too blatant (also think he was retaliating to the push on him just before, but against the wrong player). Daft from him because he didn't need to do it and his reaction at the end will have been mostly annoyance with himself I reckon.

Murray's hands were in front of his body (face) and had they not been there the ball would have hit his face, Keane's hands/arms were out to the side and whilst they were hit from a deflection they still impeded the flight of the ball towards the goal. yes it would have been harsh but based on the Murray 'precedent' it has to be a penalty. it was daft but he was wound up, Rooney got away with a few of those

Same goes for the nasty challenge by Propper earlier. So in that respect Michael Oliver saved us from finishing with 9 men.
In slow-motion it looked like a sending off however at speed it might look like a Badly timed tackle.
It always looks worse slowed up but it's trial by TV Cameras now must be better for the game so dirty player won't be able to get away with it anymore should help the game.🙄🤔

Is this not another point in favour of a video ref at games for debatable points, which will come just a matter of when, as I think already happens in rugby.. If they were in force it could have cost us 2 red cards.
