You're a bell end if you genuinely think that wasn't a penalty. Stupidity from Denayer.The ball literally travelled 2 yards at pace before it HIT him

If Sunderland wern't awarded that you'd be up in arms
One question are you saying he deliberately moved his hands to handle the ball on purpose.

Arguable whether he was even looking at the ball when it hit him. Hit being the operative word.
in your opinion Did he deliberately handball it
No he deliberately put his arms and hands in a position to make himself bigger and in an unnatural position increasing the chances of the ball being blocked by his hands or arms. That is a penalty.
Far too close.
If your hands are in an unnatural position it's a penalty every time. His were above his head. Every referee in the league would have given it.One question are you saying he deliberately moved his hands to handle the ball on purpose.

Let's get this straight you think a player can run round the penalty area with his arms outstretched pretending to be plane and of the ball hits him it shouldn't be a penalty?
Nice swerve . You and I both know it was accidental.
I'm 100% sure the rule says must be deliberate and it clearly wasn't.
You haven't answered the question. Can a players run round the penalty area with his arms above his head and it not be a penalty if the ball hits him?
Indeed, his head would have got in the way of the ball anyway.On his raised arm which had no reason to be there!!

I am 100% sure you are wrong as usual tbf: According to Graham Poll:
"So the question of intent is now, did the offender deliberately place his arms in an unnatural position to increase the chances of the ball hitting him?"
If the answer to that is yes then it is correct to penalise that player even though it used to be argued that was ball to hand.
I have just read the rule. It clearly says the players hand must move towards the ball and not the ball to hand.
It also says the referee must consider the distance the ball travels before it strikes the hand.
FIrstly the ball hit hand and secondly the ball travelled an extremely short distance. By both these criteria no penalty.
