It was definitely deliberate. He extended his arm outThe right decision was made in the end. It was hand ball and a penalty, but not deliberate and, to the extent that I understand the rules, warranted a yellow.
Because refs are inconsistent and make it up as they go along.I am really struggling to understand why the handball guy wasn't sent off.. can someone explain it? What's the difference between that and Willian for Fulham v Man Utd?
Well, again, I disagree with you and @Triggaaar and no doubt many other BHA fans that are certain they can objectively view these things. It hit him from centimetres awayIt was definitely deliberate. He extended his arm out

He did nothing at all. He even got a throw in wrong.Oliver was OK but the lino on the East Side was shocking.
Thanks. The rules are ridiculously complicated, but I suspect you're correct in your assessment. The footage of the incident is at about 2.20 of the highlights I posted.SENDING-OFF OFFENCESA player, substitute or substituted player who commits any of the following offences is sent off:What is 'a handball offence':
- denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a handball offence (except a goalkeeper within their penalty area)
HANDLING THE BALLFor the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. Not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence.It is an offence if a player:
- deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball
- touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised
- scores in the opponents' goal:
- directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper
- immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental
The goalkeeper has the same restrictions on handling the ball as any other player outside the penalty area. If the goalkeeper handles the ball inside their penalty area when not permitted to do so, an indirect free kick is awarded but there is no disciplinary sanction. However, if the offence is playing the ball a second time (with or without the hand/arm) after a restart before it touches another player, the goalkeeper must be sanctioned if the offence stops a promising attack or denies an opponent or the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
Whether it was deliberate or not is a moot point. If he has awarded a penalty for handball, then a handball offence has obviously occurred. If he is deemed to have stopped a goal, even if the handling is not 'deliberate', it is a red card offence. I've only seen it live, so I would have to assume Oliver felt the shot was going over and thus not denying a goal.
The double jeopardy rule is indeed meant to protect a player who’s made a genuine attempt to make a tackle, Hickey just blatantly saves it with his arm, it was absolutely deliberate and should be a red IMO.The right decision was made in the end.

It doesn't matter if it was centimetres, he was stretching his arms out. Just like a keeper who makes himself big when a shot is imminent.Well, again, I disagree with you and @Triggaaar and no doubt many other BHA fans that are certain they can objectively view these things. It hit him from centimetres away

Oliver even had the advantage of being able to watch the incident on the monitor too, no idea why some are saying he had a good game, he didn’tThe double jeopardy rule is indeed meant to protect a player who’s made a genuine attempt to make a tackle, Hickey just blatantly saves it with his arm, it was absolutely deliberate and should be a red IMO.
Amateurish inconsistency perhaps?I am really struggling to understand why the handball guy wasn't sent off.. can someone explain it? What's the difference between that and Willian for Fulham v Man Utd?
He wouldn’t have been the only one to think it was going over, I was in mid rant about Undav’s finishing when I realised all our players were demanding a penalty!SENDING-OFF OFFENCESA player, substitute or substituted player who commits any of the following offences is sent off:What is 'a handball offence':
