sho-dan, thanks for that link. I've just played it 4 times now and I can just believe he made hand contact but by God you really do have to look at it very carefully indeed. It is, as somebody else has said, very much more subtle than the infamous Maradona's "Hand of God" goal.

A good excuse as any to upgrade a graphics card!
