yes, that was my understanding, but it seems weird that you could make the same offence

and yet whether or not you get sent off depends solely on luck.

I'd say that the handballer denies the goalscoring chance when he handles it, and whether or not it goes in shoudl be irrelevant

        so if he saves it and the ball rebounds off a defender into the goal (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 16, 14:52:17
