You do realise it's impossible for the referee to be in the right spot every single time? There is that much he can do to be in the right position to stop the play after an incident. Ball always travels faster than a human and one can not predict what you're supposed to be paying attention to when the ball is struck. Assistant sure saw this based on what? When it comes to things happening in the middle sectors of penalty area the main referee is closer to the incident than the linesman. Plus you never know whether a player won't block his view.
Referees don't have 15 angle replays. How do you expect them to catch that handball? Even Betis manager admitted ref shouldn't be blamed.
because the linesman had clear view of that situation with no player on his way. something similar when spain got a penalty for handball vs scotland last year

and yes, the referees train every day their positional play that no player would stand on their way or view. they know that they can't use that excuse that the player stand on my way. it's their job to get the best view and position to judge. thats the difference between a world class referee and a 3rd league referee who is replacing iturralde who cant even run 90 minutes.
