At mr carra succinctly puts it above - all players, including ours, handle the ball sometimes.
It's against the rules, whether it's on the halfway line or in the box, but they do it.
And the idea that the closer you are to the opposition's goal, or the more imprtant the match, then the better you have to behave, is utter and complete bollocks. Breaking the rules is breaking the rules. Have to say though, that if a Norwich player was gonna risk breaking a rule, I'd marginally prefer it if he did it in a situation where there was some point.
But all this moral stuff is a load of old guff. Henry did what any player would have done, and every Irish player knew it. The failure was the ref.
