Even if it was a back pass, it is an indirect free kick, and you cannot score from it, Even though, when the kick was touched by Giggs(l think) and then Ron' scored from it, which you can't, l suggest read the FA Rules, and it clearly tells you, you CANNOT score from an indirect free kick, it has to be kick to another player, before this can happen.

You have completely lost me. Giggs touched it, then Ronny hit it, that has nothing to do with the backpass or the handball.
It was a backpass, a clear one, and so if you handball it, when you shouldn't, it is deliberate. And if that isn't the rule, then it needs changing.
At the end of the day a keeper can cheat and get away with it. If he is in a position where a ball gets knocked back to him and an opposing striker is lurking he can just pick it up. Give away an indirect freekick, not get booked and can stick a 10 man wall in front of it. It's very rare those "Pen Area" freekicks ever produce anything. So it is more than worth the risk, today it failed, most times it doesn't. If you know you will get a Red and an indirect freekick then you are forced to control it and deal with it. And if you can't, so be it.
