I don’t think the referee had a replay to watch before making his decision.
It looked to me like it came across his shoulder above the tee shirt sleeve line. Bishop claims it hit his chest.
Tee shirt sleeve line would still be handball, but the replay to me looks like it was lower than that.
But if Bishop thinks his chest can knock the ball into the air from that angle he must be a contortionist.
Well I did say above the t shirt line and as the actual contact area is only counted as handball if it’s below the armpit line, I claim the winning prize!
Oh and it wasn’t given as handball, so I’m right, so there!
but but no part part of the arm is above the armpit .
The highlights on the official site show the incident several times from several angles and on none of them does it look high enough to be above the armpit.
But as you say, it wasnt handball because the ref didn't give it.
I'd be more interested in seeing the penalty incident again, but haven't seen any highlights showing that.
