That is a bit contradicting. How can you say that a deliberate handball outside the box is different in the 2 circumstances?

Really?
Lloris was last man v Cardiff. If he doesn't handle the player is heading towards goal with the ball under control and has an open goal.
Against Norwich, not only was the ball in the air and not under any control, but there were another two players between the ball and the goal. Plenty of work to do to even get a shot off.
Handling the ball is identical to a foul. A foul just outside the box isn't an automatic red, but it is if you are the last man.
A player handling on the line gets a red card, but outside the box it's a yellow.
HRH,
I said ages ago in this article that the debate should probably be more around whether it was a goal scoring chance or not - ans it seems this is what is dividing us on this debate.
I believe that the fact he he had to punch it - and couldnt head or kick it - shows to me that he had to take desperate measures to deny the goalscoring chance.
You, on the other hand, from what i can tell, do not believe this is the case.
I think this is why we're at a crossroads, and not because of the laws of the game. Its one where ideally we could both sit in front of a tv and watch the replay, and make our points.
