He controlled a high ball with his arm, it wasn't a mere technicality, he controlled the ball using his arm and scored a goal.
Now I don't mind the handball, the ref should have spotted it but it happens quite often. Players will try to get away with gaining an advantage same as diving, being offside, and so on. As long as it's not a tactic decided as the start of the game I don't blame Defore, Spurs or even the ref (hard to spot at that speed).
However, there was no outrage this morning was there? Compared to the absolute vilification of Henry. That's my problem. The hypocrisy between British and Foreign players.
