Sports Letter: Handled badly
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.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.
