My argument is that he has to. If he didn't see it then his positioning isn't good enough to be a ref. I know that's harsh for humans who can make mistakes but the stakes we are talking about are immense.
We need video. Every game-changing even is proceeded with a break in play so it won't turn out like rugby or cricket. I can't understand why FIFA and UEFA are so resistant to it.
If Henry was banned for this, we would start seeing a lot more ball-to-hands happening. It wasn't overtly deliberate, although ethically he should have informed the ref, and would have been decent of him if he did. Unstandably he didn't but he is under no technical impetus to do. I can't see why he would need to be punished.
