That's a decent effort from Rooney.
Misses by an inch or so, hits it first time on the run.

You lot are way too critical of him.

On the replay he was a little. Caught it with the back of his boot more which took it a few inches wide.

Good movement though by him. Need to see more of that
 
Intent needs to be there surely.

I don't think there was a target. It ricochet off Fellaini's face. It's a case of ball to hand imo.

No it doesn't.

If in a wall when a free kick is being taken a player raises his hand instinctively he intends to handle it and give a penalty away? No.

Is it a pen? Yes.

I don't know about that, I'd still class that example as intent. The law claims it has to be deliberate iirc.

As I said, it's too close, too quick and "ball to hand" imo. If it was in the goal mouth I'd say the same, but a ball that went off at an awkward angle, how could the defender possibly anticipate that.

Lingard scores a beauty 2-0

I'll be honest, my answer to that is tough ****.

Don't raise your arms.
 
Love LVG's reaction to the goal, stays seated and makes some notes.
