Here’s my take: It’s a soft call. I’ll be honest, I have no fucking clue if VAR can/should go back that far in the play after a goal is scored.
What I can say is, Mac’s arm influenced his control of the ball. It happens in football. Most footballers wouldn’t call that a handball but by the definition of the law, it might be.
To me, the discussion shouldn’t be whether or not it was a handball. To me the discussion should be: Should/can the officials rewind the play that far back to disallow a goal for that?
