I would say very lucky although having seen it on the box again, I can understand why teh decision went that way, but would of been very unhappy had it gone against us. FRom where the ref was it looked like the keeper handled outside the area, indeed it did hit his hands, having made that decision there was only one outcome after that, the penalty the linesman gave and that was a bit more clear cut as he did make a move with his arm after he chested it, Norwich should of also had a penalty, not sure where the ref was but it would of been hard on the linesman to spot as he was in the air and very close to the line.
It was very hard to spot one team was down to 10 men, poor again and have said it all season, not enough done in the summer. It is very squeaky bum time now with the games we have left and how poor we are.
All of this sounds a lot like excuse making. If there was any contact on Bunn's "hand" it was his arm pit. Foy was so sure about his wrong decision that he never even consulted the assistant. As for the assistant... he's the same dunce who called Bassong for the handball when the ball rolled off his chest and maybe... maybe, then onto his arm. The player was running... kinda hard to run and not move your arms, no? As for the Norwich penalty that wasn't given... the linesman had (or should have had) a clear view of Rose's left foot landing six inches inside the box. Not that hard to spot from his perspective, there's a reason why the line is white and the grass green.
Not making any excuses, the ball hit the underarm of the keeper the ref was head on so from his angle he would look like handball especially as he had his arms up, most refs don't consult with their assistants if they feel they have made the right decision.
AS for the penalty it clearly hit his arm which was outstretched so as DM says its all about intent.
The Rose incident was a penalty but again he was in the air and from a side view that the linesman had it would be hard for him to tell whether it was a penalty or not. Not an excuse just an observation.
A lot of fans are very black and white about officials being right or wrong after seeing many replays and slow motion, on many occasions on here I have said the decisions were wrong but understand how the refs could give them / not give them, they only get one shot at real time and have to make the decision, I don't mind the understandable ones I hate the blatant ones, but it will continue to happen, indeed it happened in both the Everton and Wigan games with handballs at the weekend
