Ireland not reaching the World Cup Finals doesn't bother me one way or tuther, so why am i so madened by Henry's handball?

I feel sorry for ireland that was a shocking decision,blatant cheating like that should see henry banned from the world cup.

The game should be replayed but it wont be,if ireland had done the hand ball i am sure blatter and plattini would make sure france got a 2nd shot at the finals.

Now aquestion to the irish if england meet france who would you want to win.?

ENGLAND.

If it had gone to penalties Blatter and Platini would have stood on the goal line while Ireland were shooting.

You know nothing may happen but there is a lot of anger building up in Europe over this. The Irish Government has even called for a replay !!!!!

Understandable but obviously quite ridiculous. These sorts of incidences of injustice are happening all the time in football. Nothing can be done about those in the past, it's the games in the future that consideration should be given. Football needs to take a look at the way video technology has been used in tennis and rugby, and start making some decisions. Help is out there for referees, they just need to be given it. When, oh when?!!!

P.S. If Ireland get to replay that game for the handball, any chance England can have a chance to right the travesity that befell us against Argentina i wonder?

if robbie keane and damien duff weren't rubbish the henry handball wouldn't be an issue. swings, roundabouts.

Listen I thought Engerland were screwed in that game. And Im Irish.

Amazing how we are talking about these situations again so far on ?

Ps Henry = Cheating C**t

Swings, roundabouts... and beach balls, right Stevie?

This frog is a shame. France is a shame.

That's nice to hear. Must admit i thought that Maradonna (cheating twunt) was some sort of a hero over there for what he did to us. No?

Don't let Mr Toad catch you speaking that way!

Both needing a win to go through to the next stage

0-0

Seriously though, it can't be replayed, it is one of those injustice's in sport, but if it helps to bring in video, then some good will come of it.

The thing that is a little annoyance in Rugby Union in the using of the video ref even though they should already know the answer, it takes a little away from responsibility, but that is a small thing to pay, there is no reason not to bring it in.

The Hand of Frog.

Time for video refs / replays....that was a fec!n shambles.....Unlucky Ireland, I for one would have no quarms if it was re-played...which it won't, you got screwed. As the players said, some of them this was their last chance to play in a WC. Gutted for you. Henry should be banned the Tw@t.

Same old Arsenal...always cheatin hehehe

I bet Platinni is laughing his large head off.

This frog is a shame.

Who is Mr Toad ?

Same old Arsenal...

OI!

but I suppose I should accept that as flattery..... people only talk about teams they obsess with so much for a reason eh?

Just had to make do with THIS I suppose. Although I personally would have had more sympathy if it wasn't for the shirt. Come on Ivory Coast. No cheats in that team.

I'm so disappointed with Henry.

As the years have gone by his performances have been getting worse and what happened last night is the final straw.

I'm getting a Dyson tomorrow.

Sorry Migsy, you are not allowed to roll out the typical scouse comebacks. Surely you can come up with your own.

How can he stand infront of the camera's and say "I didn't mean to do it" thats the biggest crop of sh#te i have ever heard....

Thanks for that, it was probably far too intellectual for most of us in this forum.

I'm a toad , not a Frog.

I desperately wanted france to lose out and for the fighting Irish to be in the World Cup for a change.

In the end, however, you just have to blame the referee for not calling this handball.

referees make mistakes, this one just had rather more riding on it than the average handball in a league match. hence there being more outrage at this one.
