Listening on Talk Sport. Matt Holland summarising. Just been mention of the rule change on away goals c/o Sheepy. Sunderland had a massive hand ball shout, anything in it? |  |

Looked a nailed on handball. If they had VAR it would have been surely given. |  |

Co Commentator was certain that it wasn't a penalty, not sure what he is smoking, blatant penalty as you say. |  |

2-0 now so it sounds a costly mistake. |  |

Tbf to the ref I think his view may have been impeded, but this is the EFL so its equally likely he just messed up. |  |

Andy Hinchcliffe is disgustingly bad, has been for years. Sky could do so much better but imagine he’s cheap. |  |

What mick tried to do with us, trouble is it’s got a limited shelf life and they will lose a number of players to better paying championship sides over the summer if they don’t make it. Teams will have also worked them out largely by next season |  | |  |

Solid ownership. Work well within their budget, great scouting, good managerial appointments, replacing Jones with Edwards when the team they had was already well suited to Edwards style of play with Wing backs and two strikers. They just improve year on year. For a club like Plymouth coming up, Luton are the blueprint. |  |

If that's any kind of handball, let alone a nailed on one, we might as well not bother anymore. It was volleyed at him from no more than 5 yards away while his arm was by his side. See that given against ITFC next season and I'd like to see you say it was a nailed on handball. |  |

Maybe but Luton were well worth it tonight. I came down the pub to watch the game but they put Milan on in the main bar, had to go with the oldies to watch the Luton game. Would normally root for Luton as I was born there by mistake but wanted Sunderland because of Mogga. Luton demolished them though. |  |

For me his arm wasn't completely by his side and the ball struck the arm when it was crossing in to a dangerous area. |  |

Sadly again we're in the territory of punishing players for simply being human and having arms and hands. As you've said, the ball struck the arm. You're basically suggesting that unless players play the whole match with their arms 'completely' by their side, then they're at risk of being penalized for handball because someone can volley it at them from 3 yards away. It's mind-blowing that people want to see penalties given for that. |  |

So it's a free kick or penalty every time that happens now, no matter the circumstances? |  |

They were in the play-offs last year too. I don't know who they lost to better payers, but they seem to have coped. |  | |  |

Many years ago when I did my FA preliminary badge ( like I said a long time ago!).... the law as current then was explained by a referee to us that... Basically if the ball struck or was played by the hand of the defending team in the penalty area AND It gave them an advantage by doing so then the referee should award a penalty... Now I'm sure the law has changed many times since but to be honest I think it's pretty fair way to judge whether it's a pen or not? |  | |  |

Urm, I’m not sure if this actually helps the case for handball. Can see why some might say it is, but I don’t think that’s a pen. Also, it’s interesting hearing people’s views on the game. I watched the second half and thought both teams played really well, and that if that’s the standard, we’ll have our work cut out for us. |  | |  |

Not really no. The punishment doesn't fit the crime |  |
