It hit the underside of his arm and his armpit. Im not going to keep explaining it to you.

You don't need to thanks you just need to read & understand the updated laws of the game.
You're spot on about where it him but the point is that isn't classed as handball anymore.

As much as I hate to say it I can see why the ref reached the decision he did and also why not enough proof to overturn the ref's decision.
A shame but it gives someone a real chance to step up be it Rose or Pask.
Rose would be my default but also think Pask has performed well and has perhaps been dealt a bit of a shitty hand - wouldn't begrudge him the chance to start in the back three if he was picked ahead of Rose.

Is Rose injured again? Noticed he wasn't on the bench Tuesday

Didn’t Dublin have a groin problem too
Not sure it was a problem for him...
Well, until Bryan Richardson mentioned it in that book

Looking at that video I’m even more convinced it sholdn’tt have been a pen

It was overturned because growling at an opponent is not a red card offence

Good job he doesn't play for Wolves then. Next thing might have been a nasty bite

To be fair seeing that video, he’s moved his arm out to stop the ball and with his feet/rest of his body where they are, if he didn’t move his arm out it would’ve went in.
Handball for me, and definitely not a clear and obvious error.

Even more baffled now...
For anyone who didn't see it, Mowatt was sent off for a blatant 2 footed challenge, lunging in with both feet off the ground. The referee, 2 yards away instantly dismisses him.
Contact with the opponent is clearly exaggerated & yes, some years ago it's probably not even a foul blah, blah but by the letter of the law it's clear that it could "endanger an opponent" i.e. Serious Foul Play & so a red card is perfectly justified.

I see exactly the opposite. Don’t want to beat up the ref though. If we’re split with all the screenshots and videos either way it was a very close decision

I think it's more likely that as it didn't affect the result they can do so with less controversy.
Obviously the incident in our game was a complete game changer (although the way we were playing we'd probably have lost anyway). Perhaps they think going against the referee in that circumstance sets a dangerous precedent? Who knows.
In isolation, I'm not surprised ours wasn't overturned as they could argue it's inconclusive but when you then see others that do get rescinded that are like that one it does raise questions. The whole standard of refereeing & accountability needs a big shake up.
