Well I thought it was, cos his arm although by the waist, was out, and I never once

saw a reflex reaction or signal that it was accidental. For me the arm seem to come more away from the body after the handball as if it was part of the play

That for me made it intentional. Rooney's was more an accident, but no matter the accident, he had his hands in the air and doesn't have a valid reason for them to be there. The had no valid reason again not to give it

But that's the pantomime of elite football. Refs and pundits will analyse and defend countless ins and outs. At the end of the day, they have their professional agenda, and Man Utd will be in the league next season, so their judgement is lent towards being assessed by who's likely to employ them in future

Which is why the game's need for technology is beyond essential
