So are you going to determine intent too? Or just every hand ball?

Don't they already do this? It would be pretty easy to see if someone was intentionally extending hands to knock down a shot on the goal line. If not, let it ride with the penalty.

But they don't award the goal on intent.

And again, where would you start awarding goals?

Say the keeper is out of the box and uses his hands on a ball that was kicked from midfield. The ball was going towards the goal, but might have missed.

Does the ref now give the goal?

Intent with handballs is very ambiguous in calling it. A player may just be trying to get in the way of a ball in the box but his hand hits the ball. Although he wasn't trying to handle it, he intentionally moved his body in front of the ball's path. The call is made and the player is sent off.

Suarez clearly attempted to handle the ball and should be suspended/carded.

Both of these cases are considered intentional handballs making the definition of intentional ambiguous.
