Video: Outrageous handball goal from Brazil

Making Maradona look like a saint
This action comes from the Brazilian second division match between Ceara and Parana. Parana’s Wellington Silva is desperate to get on the end of a speedy cross, so he stuck out his arm and knocked the ball into the net.
To the surprise of everyone in the stadium except referee Charles Hebert, the goal was awarded. Even lineswoman Ticiana Falcão was flagging for the goal to be disallowed, but Hebert overruled her. Ceara were understandably furious and, in good old South American fashion, it wasn’t too long before it all kicked off.
Hebert has been relieved of refereeing duties for the rest of the season.
I reckon the ref was checking out the lineswoman
god hand?
[...] Cine spunea că doar Maradona ştie să dea goluri cu mâna se înşela amarnic. În liga a 2-a din Brazilia, Wellington Silva, dornic nevoie mare de a marca în orice condiţie, şi-a pus mâna la contribuţie şi a împins balonul în poartă. Execuţia a fost văzută de toată lumea, mai puţin de către arbitrul întâlnirii care a validat golul în ciuda deciziei domnişoarei asistente care sesizase golul neregulamentar. [Off The Post] [...]
In unrelated news, MLS have just announced the hiring of one more full time referee, a Mr. Charles Hebert has just been chosen to officiate at least two matches a weekend for 5 seasons, with clauses in his contract that prevent him from ever being suspended or fired.
[...] Hat Tip - [Off The Post] [...]
