I also like the rule, just don’t understand why it seems to stop the one makes the free kick from being booked.

I reckon it’s a lot harder to deliberately kick the ball into someone’s arm than you think.
Why would it be difficult for a professional footballer to lob the ball into someone‘s arm? There’s just no upside to it at the moment, but if you introduce a similar (daft) interpretation as you have with the handball rule for the attacking team, you’d easily have players looking to take advantage by aiming for the hand/arm.
Not sure why some seem to have a problem with the latest interpretation of penalties for handball. It overall makes sense, it’s just a shame that they’ve introduced completely different set of rules for the defending team vs the attacking team
It did seem odd that a defender can clatter Jackson from behind and seemingly escape just because Jackson is holding an imaginary card.
Hasn't this been a rule for about 15 years or more now?
It's never been implemented before
That rule doesn't make any sense. What's wrong in asking for a player to be booked? How is it any different from appealing for a penalty, corner, throw-in or anything on the field.
If they want to protect the game then first thing they have to do is clamp down tactical fouling, refs are too late to react to that.
That's a pen and red 
Same thing every season.That's a pen and red
What for?That's a pen and red
Pen last season but that's the 3rd one like that this weekend not given so they must have changed it slightly
So the extra added time doesn't apply for our games. 2 minutes after several Wolves players spent minutes on their arses and one of them was even booked for time wasting 
Innit why no insane time for us?So the extra added time doesn't apply for our games. 2 minutes after several Wolves players spent minutes on their arses and one of them was even booked for time wasting
Don’t think many of us wanted to watch more of that tbf.So the extra added time doesn't apply for our games. 2 minutes after several Wolves players spent minutes on their arses and one of them was even booked for time wasting
The handball? The arm's tucked in right by his body. It's not a pen and it wasn't a pen last season.
Ridiculous decision to not give a pen there.
Saved our arse. Should have been a pen.
You'll not get many easier pen reviews than that..madness it wasn't given.
Similar to martinez from villa against us last season (antony I think) that wasn't given

Exactly how Ole would win games. But a win is a win
Be fuming if that was against us.
Penalty all day long.
Two penalties not given today. For each team.

add another one to the list.
I’d be fuming if we didn’t get a pen for that. My guess is they don’t want to set a precedent for keepers making accidental contact when trying to collect the ball
I think they go by if the ref saw it clearly and didn’t give it then they can’t really overrule it.
It’s why they said the disallowed Arsenal goal at OT last season was a mistake
Wtf!!!!
Clear penalty.
So Lucky
Clear penalty.
So Lucky
For those that say it was a pen, which I agree with, the decision not to award it was consistent. When Antony out the ball over Sá he was tackled afterwards and then Wolves cleared the ball.
Stone cold pen, we got away with it
Fair play to VAR, a rare good decision.
We've been saying this for about 5 years now. When are we going to start playing proper football.
Our handball wasn't a pen
Id like to see that again
We're never being given a penalty again.
Keepers always get away with those.
Keepers getting protection they shouldn't get has always been the case.
It's not a pen till they start punishing keepers consistently when they come out with their hands.

Lucky for us.
Looked at it again. Does seem a pen.
I thought ETH was suppose to be the solution
. I am hoping it is just fatigue because we did play a lot in pre season....That has only ever been given once is history and that was ederson against arsenal last season. Itl never be given again
Two decisions this game week where Keepers have been protected now…Leno and Onana.
