The referee in the Uzbek case wrongly applied the rules, in the Irish case he didn't wrongly apply them because he didn't see the incident in the first place. Had he seen the handball and decided that it was okay within the laws of th game, then he would've made a technical error Not at all Brendan.

Funny. The referee in the France - Ireland game also wrongly enforced the clearly defined rules of the game. Instead of awarding a free kick to Ireland, he awarded a goal to France. It's the same principle. “Uzbekistan appealed after the game and FIFA found the grounds of the appeal to be sound – the referee had committed a technical error, and had wrongly enforced the clearly defined rules of the game.”
