Did you see a deliberate handball there?

I was looking for a rule that says how handling the ball on the line is a direct red card. I couldn't find it. You all say how there is such a rule. There probably is but I couldn't find out and it will be good if you guys find it and show it to us here.
The one I found it is the one above which says that it's a red card if a player denies the opposition a goal by deliberately handling the ball.
FIFA didn't use the word "deliberately" without a reason, did they?
I provided you the rule a couple of pages back. If you prevent a clear scoring chance, you're sent off, no matter what the offence might be. So if you handle the ball on the line, you're preventing a clear scoring chance and you're sent off.

People's interpretation of the rules often changes depending on which team they want to win :agree: Clear red card and pen, no leeway when it comes to handling offenses on the goalline, intentional or not.
