In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Redknapp reckons "MAYBE" the linesman should see itPeople actually think that goal should be disallowed?
Clearly not intentional, goal should stand.
It doesn't matter. He's benefitted from a hand in an unnatural position. Penalties get given for the same offence by defenders.
Henry thinking the handball goal is legit? For Arsenal?
Christ, there goes a pig flying by!

Can't even see the linesman on the replay posted above, much less where he's stood. If he's where he should be then it's possible the Hull number 3 is in his line of vision.
WTF, you can't use your hands to score even if you didn't mean itPeople actually think that goal should be disallowed?
Clearly not intentional, goal should stand.
Huddlestone hasn't had a good start today. The first mistake where Özil had a chance to score and now this goal...
I was talking about being deliberate or not.
If he's not there to see things like that he might as well be at home with his feet up.
Err, you're wrong.People actually think that goal should be disallowed?
Clearly not intentional, goal should stand.
Alternate angle of Sanchez's goal
What a fecking joke, if this was Utd that had scored a goal like that every pundit would be screaming for it to be disalowed. It's handball end of, the ball was going away from goal before sanchez handled it and it went in from there. i genuinely cant belive how anyone can say thats a legitimate goal.
I would argue it's not an unnatural position when you are shooting.
The linesman had a perfect view, he's plainly visible in the replays.
Replay showed hand towards ball too.
Yeah, if Arsenal were playing Dr Strangelove upfront.
Game isn't over yet and it's only 1-0.
The fact that he went over to the linesman means the linesman spotted something, so what the hell did he spot if he didn't spot the handball?
I'm going off the clip @GifLord posted above. If there's another angle I haven't seen where you can see him, and he's looking straight at it then you can't really make any excuses for him.
When have you ever had your hand in front of your face when you shoot. Completely unnatural.
A could have been allowed if it was a natural movement with his arm/hands close to his body. But that wasn't the case here - clearly unnatural. At least this is how I interpret the rules, but I could be wrong.

This! It's obvious it should stand.
It's hurting my brain hearing people argue that this should be a legitimate goal.
If that happened to the defender it should never be a penalty. So why would it be different if the striker does it?
Score like an Egyptian...
@Sigma not an unnatural position? How many times have you seen him shooting with his hand like that?

This isn't an argument specific to Arsenal.

Just seen a webm, lino had a perfectly fine view, not obstructed by anything. It's a scandalous decision.
Correct, everyone can make a mistake. In the end, they're human not robots. But if the so called experts won't acknowledge the goal as a fault after watching the replays, then it's strange.
Could have been many goals for both teams in this half and Hull don't look to have let their heads go down. Could be any score by the end of this.
I know, I said I wasn't sure about the Pogba one but my point is that part of how they determine whether it is deliberate or not is by considering the distance the ball travelled (i.e. significantly further in Pogba's case) as well as the fact that he did have the time to put his hand up (which meant he hit the ball). I'm not sure that was enough to make it a penalty but certainly a lot more valid a decision than it would have been to disallow that goal.
Markovic looks like Roger Federer #justsayin
What is the rule if the handball was unintentional but your hand was in a completely unnatural position?
Get Welbeck on as soon as possible for Walcott.
Still handball...
Yeah, Arsenal isn't the team to count on to shut anyone down, but they could score again themselves.
Ouch! Nasty tackle.
I disagree on the goal being legit but completely agree on how nauseating all the complaining about the referees every week has become.
Well, in this case he is stretching, and I think he used his other hand for balance. I'm not sure, I think the goal should stand as its unintentional and I don't think its in an unnatural position when taking the scenario into account.
