If you listen to BR, he says the refs saw it deemed it unintentional and allowed the goal, which I find bizarre


There's an argument to be had there due to the wording of the laws of the game.

quote:

Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into consideration:

• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)

• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)

• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement


I personally think it should have been disallowed, deliberate or not. But that's not on Suarez - players don't officiate themselves.

by the letter of the law, you're right and it makes sense... in the spirit of the law I agree that it should have been disallowed...

Who knows how we play different if up only 1-0 and if the outcome is the same?? I do think they deserved a replay and a chance to come and experience Anfield
