They don't come much more clear then that.. His hands both sticking out and he's completely changed direction of the ball... But this commentator has sounded extremely bias the whole game, tho I'm not sure if it's for city or just against us.

Deserved lead tho.. had quite a few real decent chances and were lucky to not be up by more.

First sight it looked a stone wall pen... but then came the replay which shows the ball hit his foot and then bounced up onto his arm. Ridiculously lucky to get the pen. However we deserve to be at least level.. so its swings and roundabouts.

It was unlucky because the ball hit his foot first then his arm, but a handball is a handball, it changed the ball's direction which was toward goal and that is always sanctioned with a pen. Unlucky yes, but still a correct decision.

Yeah. His hand was up. Players are taught to keep their hands down and into their bodies where possible. To not do so risks a handball and penalty decision. Lucky? Maybe. I don't think so. It would have been typical of our luck had it NOT been given.

I'd also like to point out, Downing's having a great game so far. Keep it up lad.

It wasn't. The ball was going straight up.

Anyway, we deserved that slice of luck.

Good play from us at the first half. But in Jordon Henderson scared of the football? every time the ball
comes to him he looks like he c raps himself.

just watched the reply, Agger's shot was clearly going on goal and it only struck one of Richard's hand

The shot was going towards goal when it hit his foot which then sent it up into the air onto his hand - ball to hand not deliberate , its harsh but who fecking cares !!
