I want to see if they make a show of it like they did last week, also if Jon Moss also comes to our dressing room to apologise.

I don’t think so, I believe it applies to any call where the decision is whether the handball was a penalty or not:
“An arm extended away from the body makes that body bigger, in an unnatural position,” explains Mike Riley, Managing Director of Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the referees’ body.
“If the ball strikes that arm, particularly if it is blocking a shot on goal, there is a greater likelihood we will penalise that.”
So the way I see it, his right arm was in a natural postion, so no penalty.

then that’s a terrible call, it blocks a shot on goal, arms is way up, by this logic there is no longer any need to tuck your hands in because that’s unnatural so everything else is natural.
THey are trying to make rules more “fair” and shit but all they are achieving is shit subjective calls.
