I think the handball law needed to be changed, but doesn't go far enough. If IFAB have recognised that asking referees to judge intent is problematic, then why is it staying enshrined in law for non-goal situations?
I suspect it's because law makers lack the imagination to come up with a solution that doesn't see players penalised for having the ball smashed at them from a yard away, but that's no real excuse.
