The "particularly........" part is completely unnecessary and confusing. If it's categorically not handball if it has deflected of the body the direction of subsequent travel is irrelevant. I hope these aren't the same people developing the new VAR communication protocol for Webb and his band of...

Yet they have ignored that recommendation in the EPL several times this season, including the Dunk penalty, so they don't seem to be in agreement as to what constitutes handball.

The VAR didn't give it. The ref watched the replays at VAR's request and then gave it. Looked like a bit of a bottle job to me but, then again, if his interpretation of the law is that it's handball if the arm is away from the body irrespective of the ricochet then he gave what he saw.

Can somebody please enlighten me regarding the handball law? Is it in the law that it's not handball if it ricochets off the body or is that an interpretation that PGMOL is now applying (selectively)?
