Fox's handball clearly wasn't intentional but the ref buckled under the continual penalty appeals from the Toon players and supporters. It was only a matter of time before he had an incident close enough to give him the excuse to award a penalty.
I expect Fergusson to book him for a lot of Old Trafford games next season. | | | |

could easily be simplified..
1. Was it intentional?
2. Did the player gain an unfair advantage from it ? | |

This was my disagreement with Del_Bianco. Two things about Fox. The first was it deliberate, answer is no. The second, was he far enough away to take his arm in before contact, answer is no.
To leave a decision such as this to the referee allows him too much freedom.
The rule leads with "deliberate" and then moves to "unnatural". What constitutes unnatural??? Conditions would need to be considered her, wet slippery conditions and dry and firm leads to different natural never mind unnatural. | |

Exactly my point - by leaving up to the referees interpretation gives them too much influence in the result of the game. Hence home bias, big team v small team bias, and even the nefarious influence of brown bags of cash in the changing room. | | | |
