Rule still says deliberate:

Definition. A handball occurs if any player, other than the team's goalkeeper within his own penalty area, deliberately handles the ball when in play. A ball can be handled with any part of the arm, from the tips of a player's fingers right up to the shoulder.

    - Agreed (n/m) (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 21, 13:54:50

      - Then players might as well just stick their arms in the air in the box (Other Football) - SCC 28, Jun 21, 15:02:36
        
        That would be deliberate though (n/m) (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 21, 15:05:45
        
        Then so was this (Other Football) - SCC 28, Jun 21, 15:10:50
        
        question is whether it was part of his jumping motion (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 21, 15:28:21
        
        Yep that’s what it comes down to (Other Football) - SCC 28, Jun 21, 15:31:17

    - that's not a problem with VAR though, it's a consequence of the underlying laws (Other Football) - CWC, Jun 21, 13:53:25
      - See your problem is CWC you're a lawyer and make far too much sense at times. (n/m) (Other Football) - DrDublin, Jun 21, 14:14:28
