I was talking to a good friend who is an official and who officiated at one of our Under 23 games, he was amazed at Steve Stone's general behaviour towards his own players and the onfield officials.
Mind you, there are plenty of other clubs and coaches who are just as bad and possibly worse.

Re: ARTICLE: Under-23s home programme to end at Curzon Ashton
Very similar to Sunday's game. We had the best of the play, had a goal disallowed very harshly, gave a goal away and missed chances when we were on top and they capitalised because they always looked dangerous on the break. Worked hard to get back on level terms but never looked like winning it. You...

I think if the ref gets in the way, the best thing he can do is stand still. He doesn't know what they're going to try.

It appears that if you deliberately handle the ball it will be an offence, however, if it is accidental, it will not be considered an offence except if you score with the hand or accidentally handle before scoring.
