When Maxwell ran out of his area to clear the ball, did he chest it into touch or did he handle. It was right in front of me and I thought he handled it. Did anyone see this to confirm my view? I think he would have been sent off if the ref or linesman had seen it.
 
It was handball. Discussed on the Championship show on 5. Arguably a yellow rather than red as a defender further back meant it was not a goal scoring opportunity.

Definitely handball Daz......
 
Sat on the other side of the stadium so havent a clue. consensus seems to be that it was handball.

We got away with that one, another time we wont.
 
Couldn't tell at the time as was at the other end of the Finney but replay clearly shows it was. Lady Luck on our side for once!
 
Bout time we got some luck! Specially with being against an ex-prem team, you usually get nothing! Any club that gets promoted or into the playoffs needs some luck along the way, we won't be the first and won't be the last.
 
Was right opposite it , both hands and then went through the man , Red IMO , got very lucky 🙂 ... , no idea how the Assistant did not see it from 10 years away ...

I wasn’t 10 years away, I was there at the same time. From my seat in the Town End it looked like it came off his face, but on Football on 5 it clearly looked like hands.

Handball all day long.

But a red? No, there was a covering defender so it wasn't a goalscoring opportunity.

Whilst I agree Ron, I've seen reds given in similar circumstances, so we got away with one. I know one thing for sure, if it was the Sunderland keeper that did that we would be wanting to see a red card issued.
 
I was in block H so it occurred right in front of me - definitely handball. I'm amazed the ref didn't consult the linesman who must have had a clearer view of the incident.

Whoops I meant the assistant was 10 Yards away and should have seen it was hands but hey ho we got away with one 🙂

Handball yes, momentum carried him through no intent to get the man so yellow all day long. Considering they threw themselves down like screaming backsides at every opportunity maybe the ref thought that as their man stayed on his feet he wasn’t touched!

Cattermole took out Fisher in the first half with a very dangerous challenge and the ref didn't even give a free kick.
