im truly gutted over the whhole thing. what a colosal price ireland has to pay because henry cheated, and what a great reward he gets for cheating. even if they bring in video refs, where is the justice for last night? how come henry is not being punished? and has any of the fifa scum come out to give a comment or even criticise henry? nope. below is the review of the game on the fifa website. see if you can spot the glaring and disgusting ommission.
France 1-1 Republic of Ireland (first leg 1-0)
Goals: William Gallas 103 (France); Robbie Keane 32 (Republic of Ireland)

The story of the game
Hosts France were kept completely quiet in the first half by an Ireland team burning with passion, conviction and the desire to battle for every ball. Robbie Keane’s strike not long after the half-hour was just reward for the efforts the visitors had put in and it took heroics from France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to limit the damage to one goal. Les Bleus came into the contest after the break but remained vulnerable to Irish attacks, meaning the tie had to be resolved in extra time, when William Gallas equalised to send his team through to their fourth consecutive finals.

The key moment
After 180 hard-fought minutes, the fate of both teams was decided by a moment of drama in extra time. The outcome remained in the balance until the very last second, and when the final whistle was blown the disappointed Irish could hold their heads up high.

The man of the match
France have long been looking for a successor to Fabien Barthez and they have found the perfect candidate in Hugo Lloris. In this game, as in the opening leg, the Lyon No1 bolstered his burgeoning reputation with a string of top-class saves.

gutted to say the least,but like swede says the thing was rigged before we played france. goodluck to the teams who won their groups and didnt need a helping hand! with their world cup dreams.

Thierry Henry has been confirmed today in the Guiness book of world records (Guiness, ironic eh) as having the biggest d**k in the world as ha managed to f**k the whole of Ireland at the same time.

has anyone seen the roy keane interview about it? i hate roy keane but this did make me laugh lol

Henry is an absolute disgrace and the game should be replayed. We have the technology to stop this bu11sh1t cheating. I've been calling for video replays in the box for some time because I believe it would not slow the game down at all. The fourth official would have a replay of a dubious decision in the box (whether it be defense or attack) and be able to notify the game referee in a second.
Emp I have to say feel for you. I know how it feels, like when the dirty slime Matterazzi dived into the box against Australia in the last World Cup!!!

I hope now the French don't make it passed the group stages!! CHEATS.

Yeah all very sad - gutted for the Irish n time for video evidence I'm afraid , but It will hopefully put an end to these cheats and put pressure on the likes of Platini and Blatter. Hard to believe Platini was such a great player but such a poor, dishonest, dodgy figurehead for FIFA.

What happens if the French go on to win the tournament ?

I think this one will go down as the same as the Hand of God incident. No-one remembers much about the game & competition, but will always remember that a cheat prospered.

PS, I heard the Henry has been offered a contract by the Harlem Globetrotters!

i agree. to say it is acceptable to cheat yyour way to the final, means to accept cheating. it might exist in the game but it should neverbe accepted. this is a perfect opportunity for fifa to stamp it out and yet they wont even punish henry while 6 or 7 irish players were denied there last ever world cup.

its disgusting.

i disagree. there has to come a point when we decide "no more". this usually happens when something extraordinary happens, and in this case i believe it has because the world sat up and took note. the decision should be, replay the game, then for the world cup inroduce video evidence where each team gets one call per half to go to the video ref.
they should have introduced it after the 86 hand of god and they didnt take the opportunity. now they have another chance and they are not taking it.
we shouldnt accept cheating as part of the game just because it has always been this way.

yea i see where youre coming from. but if its a premiership game, theres always another game next week. if its a group game, there is usually another to be had. i think this game stands out for the sheer magnitude of the consequences.
