Blatant penalty.
Not as blatant as Terry's or the Derby one, but he used his arm to stop the ball-pen.

What are the rules of a handball?

Direct free kick
A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any
of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be

careless, reckless or using excessive force:
• kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
• trips or attempts to trip an opponent
• jumps at an opponent
• charges an opponent
• strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
• pushes an opponent
• tackles an opponent

A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any
of the following three offences:

• holds an opponent
• spits at an opponent
• handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own
penalty area)

A direct free kick is taken from the place where the offence occurred
(see Law 13 – Position of free kick).

Penalty kick
A penalty kick is awarded if any of the above ten offences is committed by
a player inside his own penalty area, irrespective of the position of the ball,
provided it is in play.​

Sending-off offences
A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off if he commits any of the
following seven offences:

• serious foul play
• violent conduct
• spitting at an opponent or any other person
• denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity
by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within
his own penalty area)
• denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving
towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a
penalty kick
• using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures
• receiving a second caution in the same match

A player, substitute or substituted player who has been sent off must leave the
vicinity of the fi eld of play and the technical area.​

From the definitions bit

Handling the ball
Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with
the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into
consideration:

• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an
infringement
• touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.)
counts as an infringement
• hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an
infringement

Disciplinary sanctions
There are circumstances when a caution for unsporting behaviour is required
when a player deliberately handles the ball, e.g. when a player:

• deliberately handles the ball to prevent an opponent gaining possession
• attempts to score a goal by deliberately handling the ball
A player is sent off, however, if he prevents a goal or an obvious goalscoring
opportunity by deliberately handling the ball. This punishment arises not from
the act of the player deliberately handling the ball but from the unacceptable
and unfair intervention that prevented a goal being scored.
Restart of play
• Direct free kick from the position where the offence occurred (see Law 13 –
Position of free kick) or penalty kick

Outside his own penalty area, the goalkeeper has the same restrictions
on handling the ball as any other player. Inside his own penalty area, the
goalkeeper cannot be guilty of a handling offence incurring a direct free kick
or any misconduct related to handling the ball. He can, however, be guilty of
several handling offences that incur an indirect free kick.​

This is all very well, but most of Crawley doesn't care so why is it on a Brighton board and indeed, why am I even bothering to post?

Its 10.30 am Saturday morning here in my hotel in Astana Kazakh and Ive got San Lorenzo - River Plate and they ve just had a goal disallowed for handball. The goalkeeper was kicking out of his area and the forward jumped to block. His hands are below his head and his palms are down and the ball ricochets of his arm and body onto the ground and he is able to run on and score. How on earth that was handball is beyond me. the forward has no idea what was happening!

Definite penalty for me. Felt a bit sorry for Crawley, as they played very well. Excellent equaliser for them, but nothing controversial for me in the penalty, other than timing really hurt them.

I'd be inclined to believe that, except it's come from you which means confirmation from someone more reliable would be useful.

Why? Was there some needle during the game?

I remember the fears about Wolves fans when we played them last season and they turned iut to be the best travelling supporters all season. Good numbers, very vocal, sense of humour and behaved like normal human beings. Admittedly, they didn't "have us all in stitches" like the Leicester fans allegedly did, but they were class.

That said, if it did happen then it's another very sad moment for football.

Not that I can recall. Just seems Crawley fans were easy targets.

I searched 'Wolves v Crawley', 'Crawley attacked', 'Crawley fans attacked' and 'Crawley fans Wolves attacked'. There's nothing. Absolutely nothing.
