The biggest problem, IMO, on that hand ball goal WASN'T the handball...it's the fact that not 1 but 2 guys

were offside when that free kick was taken.

In a group of players in front of the goal...handballs can happen easily where a ref or linesman can't see it.

But the offside calls...that's the main reason they have linesmen. For them to blow that one is reason for their discipline.
