Sports Letter: Handled badly

Sir: The second goal scored by Paul Scholes in the Poland game was, quite clearly, handball and should not have been allowed, yet Kevin Keegan was reported to have said something along the lines of: "I don't care how he did it. I was just glad to see it go in."

No doubt this sentiment will be echoed by the red-tops and all other like-minded exponents of "the glorious game". Are these the same people who disparaged Mr Maradona's effort with such venom? No, surely not.
