It is ridiculous. If he stops the ball on the line and someone else taps it in. It's not a handball. But if he kicks it in then it is.
How can that make any sense.

It doesn’t. Hypothetically the ball could hit his hand by his side in his own box, he could then run the length of the pitch and score and the goal will be ruled out however if he accidentally uses an outstretched arm to control the ball and lays it off (Boro game last season) the goal would stand. Ridiculous.
Odd decision, not sure what they think Rashford is supposed to do?

It was the correct decision by the letter of the law. It’s the law that’s the issue here not VAR or the ref.
Very odd rule this but ref got it spot on going by this bizarre rule

Yes, the rule is the problem on this occasion.
Yep stupid rule. The refs can only follow the laws of the game.

It is the correct decision as it is how the law is written. What is utterly stupid is that if that had have been an assist the goal would have stood.
Whoever came up with that rule needs to have his testicles beaten with a steak tenderizer.
The handball rules are all over the place but on this occasion I agree with the officials.
This is football. No goal should ever be scored off the hand. Ever. Doesn't matter whether intentional or not. The same rule applies to all teams so it's not unfair.
You can't, or shouldn't ever score with your hand in football. That's how I see it.

Exactly. It makes no sense. Also it doesn’t necessary have to be a goal straight off the hand.
As I mentioned earlier if the ball unintentionally hits a player in his own box it’s not a penalty but if he runs the length of the pitch and scores directly from that incident, the goal would be ruled out.
Nonsensical.
In this example, the ball would’ve hit Rashford had his arms actually been in an unnatural position.
It’s a bit of a silly rule tbh, but the rule is what it is.

Yes. For me it is what it is. Doesn't have to be the same both ways. Attacking teams should not benefit from a goal scored off the arm under any circumstance IMO.

What if a wild shot, going wide, hits a defenders arm and deflects in?
If the handball was not intentional then its not handball at all and it should therefore be a goal IMO. If intentional then it's still a goal as the attacking team should be given the advantage by the ref allowing play to continue and so if it ends up in the back of the net then it's a goal.
I should have specified that the attacking team should never score off a handball by one of their own players. If the handball is by an opponent then the above should apply IMO.
