Terrible rule to allow that second Man Utd goal against Ipswich.
I thought the handball rule was that any handball for the goalscorer or assister and it would be ruled out, accidental or not. Any other player in the build up and it would be subjective.

Saying it was handball because Maguire took a shot on goal, but then saying it's not handball because the shot was bad and going wide is stupid.

The goal was allowed because the shot was going wide, so Maguire can't be given the goal, if it was on target, I presume it would be disallowed, as ordinarily he would be given the goal. Correct by the rules, I suppose, but the whole rule around whether it hits the goalscorer's hand is badly shown up there.
