Talk Football Here... - Part 6

[InOne]

Wildcat you talk bollocks, do you have a problem with the Irish or something? Or can St Henry (the cheating scumbag) do no wrong in your eyes?

[Wildcat!]

What's that, you say? Sorry, but that hole you have dug is quiet deep, and all I can hear is echoes.

Of course it matters if it's a world cup final. Are you undergoing lobotomy or something? Of course it happens but it should not happen. Not in this day and age.

Even if you support Henry, the fact that you want us to accept it with dignity is somewhat hilarious, and shows a complete lack of understanding of the concept of dignity on your part.

Nobody will remember this just the bitter fans? There is a little concept in our world called history, you know. People remember and communicate history. This won't be forgotten, like it or not.

This has nothing to do with us being Irish. This has nothing whatsoever to do with race. I'm not asking for a replay. I'm not asking for an overhaul of FIFA management. But the mere fact that he wont admit it was deliberate controlling of the ball, which it was, shows a complete lack of character and honesty on his part. You sure do have some funny ****ing role models.


Is that why it's making the news all over the world? If you like Henry, fair enough, but comments like these are going to give people the impression that your a ****ing moron.


YOu think your sad insults are gonna change the facts, that France have advanced to the world cup, and you havent. GO ahead and insult away, if it makes you feel any better. Actually, go join the idiotic I hate Henry FB pages, thats a good therapy session for you.

And no, no one is gonna remember Ireland getting knocked out of the qualifying for the world cup by a controversial goal, like it or not. You probably will, but most people in the world wont!

Henry didnt do it on purpose, he handled it, but he didnt mean to. Accept, or dont, it wont change a damn thing.
Again Get OVER it (of course you wont, but oh well)!

And you talking like I give a **** how it reflects on me! Bitch please!

[Wildcat!]

Wildcat you talk bollocks, do you have a problem with the Irish or something? Or can St Henry (the cheating scumbag) do no wrong in your eyes?

How many times do I have to tell you, I dont speak moron, every time you try to address me?

France have advanced to the world cup and we have not. Wow. No ****? Sterling argumentation on your part. Man, my insults sure are not going to change world events this time!

People will remember this. And people do care about this. And not just the Irish. The fact that your not willing to accept this is hilarious.

If only the Irish cared, why has it made international news all over the world? Can you give me a straight answer to that?

Christ your ****ing something.

Of course it will make the news, just like all the games on the last day of the WC qualifying make the news. Of course it will be on the highlights . Portugal advancing also made the news wordwide, so did all the other teams who played yesterday. In a couple of weeks, no one will give a damn, or even remember it, like I said before, apart from you guys!! The only thing we will remember, are the teams still in the competition.
Also that Henry is a Legend, with great class.

[30stone]

Ireland wont get a rematch,

Things happen like this in football all the time, although somthing needs to be done (and probably will now) i cant see them over ruling the desicion as it goes back on everything they stand for.
As for ireland being minutes away from maybe going to the world cup, there was still a pretty good chance they wernt..
Henry isnt the devil.. he handled the ball in the area which loads have and have got away with..

[setanta]

You're still rabbiting on like a man with an actual cause here!! This is ridiculous stuff from you Wildcat.

[30stone]

At the end of the day, Ireland had no chance of winning the World Cup anyway. Henry just saved the players and the fans a long journey.

And a lot of money to lol.

[Stu]

But did they prompt international debate? Or make the front pages of the sports sections? Or get such column inch in countries that don't even give two ***** about soccer? Stop comparing it to any old ****ing match coverage. Why does it bother you so much? Do you have a hard on for Henry or do you simply hate all cultures and opinions that are not yours? I get that impression from your posts in other topics, too.

I can't continue this. It's simply impossible to try and draw an adult conversation out of you and I'm not risking a ban just to air my opinions on your hackneyed, matter-of-factly, guttertrash posts. No doubt other members will bury you in time, and ol' Stu will be waiting to piss on your grave.

Have fun, kid.

Something to be done? What the hell is gonna be done? There is no way in hell, anything can be done, about a hand ball that wasnt seen by the referees. NOthing whatsoever. The only thing they can ever review in football if they decide to are maybe missed calls like the ball going over the line or not. Thats it!
Like many people who have been on the wrong end of the stick before, they will have to get over it, or go get some therapy!

Right Ben, you obviously didn't watch the match or hear from people who've commented on how deserving Ireland were of the victory... even french people have accepted this.

And he didn't just handle it - he Deliberately handled it and then celebrated the goal, and then refused to apologize for it in his press conference. He actually laughed off the suggestion that he should have told the ref, basically passingthe blame onto the shoulders of the officials.

And that's the captain of France talking and basically condoning cheating on live television!! He's an absolute moron and he's disgraced the game.

[setanta]

yes, they've denied the greatest and fairest supporters in the world the opportunity to travel to the world cup and enjoy every moment of it.

[King Gizzard]

Ireland in fairness did deserve to win

and henrys handball was horrid

[Wildcat!]

What country is this, who dont give two ***** about soccer, that has this as a headline? Are you deluded now or something? No way in hell did any of those so called countries talk about this, nonsense lost cause. They have better things to talk about than this footnote.

And again, go ahead with your idiotic bitter insults. She how much I care!!
And BTW, Aint nobody asked you, to start a conversation.

[Stu]

I would rather not address the forum troll, but I am sure someone can point out to him the sixty six thousand or so articles that have appeared in international press in the short space of twenty four hours.

[30stone]

Yeah thats what i mean, they wont get anything from this, but something may be done in the future to prevent these things happening.

1: I watched it, i said you were the better team yesterday but not by much.

2: Why should he? they should have been doing their jobs properly and to a high standard.. Henry ****ed up yes but hes not the ****ing anti crist.

And ill say again (though im sure you wont listen) Irish public would be happy if you went through on a goal the same way, just because your in the world cup.

[30stone]

yes, they've denied the greatest and fairest supporters in the world the opportunity to travel to the world cup and enjoy every moment of it.

Greatest?

[Stu]

Of course we would be happy, it's natural to be happy. Nobody is blaming the French fans. I'm sure they are delighted. But would we have been proud of it? No. Would our players have later apologized? Yes.

Why should he apologize? Because he blatantly broke a huge rule in a huge game. Sounds like an opening for an apology, at least on my planet.

[Wildcat!]

Yeah, like anyone in the world would go to the referee and say, oh ref, the goal that put us in the world cup really should be dissallowed, because I handled it!
See, this is the kind of idiotic things I have heard, coming from these dumb ass journalists, that really made me laugh today.

[Wildcat!]

I would rather not address the forum troll, but I am sure someone can point out to him the sixty six thousand or so articles that have appeared in international press in the short space of twenty four hours.

Typical, you dont get your way, and you end up calling people trolls. Glad youre true to yourself at least. Some things never change.

[Stu]

yes, they've denied the greatest and fairest supporters in the world the opportunity to travel to the world cup and enjoy every moment of it.
In fairness, your just asking for a whole ugly can of worms to be opened here...

People dont often when they dive get a penalty score and go through to like the fa cup final or somthing...until prompted by their agents...




As for the newspapers, they print it because its something big to talk about its gunna start talks, but weather people really mind (outside Ireland).. is a diffrent matter.


I like to discuss it but i dont really care either way... As david, andy nate and now wildcat have shown.

[setanta]

Yeah thats what i mean, they wont get anything from this, but something may be done in the future to prevent these things happening.

And I've said before that we wouldn't celebrate it. We're the fairest set of supporters in the world and we can't stand cheating in any form. If Keane did something as blatant as that we'd go nuts.

As for Henry not stating immediately what he'd done...... he's an idol and ambassador for the sport, who's always tried to promote fair play and sportsmanship. Do you want to watch a game where people cheat to win? What kind of role models do you want in life?

And to make matters worse he didn't admit to it being intentional and also never apologized, basically laughing it off in his press conference. These actions are inexcusable.

In any other sport this would never have happened but of course football is still living in the dark ages so we've got to accept it. Laughable stuff and even more laughable that you're defending his actions.

[setanta]

Well people care Ben. Christ. Why try and deny it? People care and it's not just people in Ireland. Obviously we care the most because ... oh look, **** ... we were the team playing, but people do care.

I can guarantee you if Ireland did the same thing we would celebrate our victory but Robbie Keane would get the slagging of his life forevermore walking the streets of Dublin.

[30stone]

Just LOL to the highest level

and Yes its footballs rules about showing play back about the referee's ruling etc.

If it was sorted properly then henry would have got away with it. but he has.
Football needs to change.

[30stone]

Well people care Ben. Christ. Why try and deny it? People care and it's not just people in Ireland. Obviously we care the most because ... oh look, **** ... we were the team playing, but people do care.

People do care but its not a big thing for them, its just somthing to talk about in the pub for most.

We actually wouldn't We'd be so embarrassed over it.

And you never answered me on why you're defending Henry's actions and placing the blame entirely on the refs shoulders.

[Stu]

Nobody is denying that. Obviously people in Bulgarian pubs don't have a vested ****ing interest in Irish soccer and are not passionate about it. Unless they are Irish, of course.

OH Cmon Ben!! Football is just like most of the sports in the world. Referees make mistakes, and even if they used instant replay, not everything can be overturned. IN American Football, they use instan replay for certain things, but they are not gonna review every handball, and things like that. YOu know how much time will be wasted if that was the case, especially on a sport like Soccer that doesnt have much stoppage.
Like I said, the only new rule they can put in is to review the ball crossing the line. That should be a given, but even thats not a rule in soccer. Let alone a handball.

[30stone]

We actually wouldn't We'd be so embarrassed over it.

And you never answered me on why you're defending Henry's actions and placing the blame entirely on the refs shoulders.

Because would any football go say to the ref they handballed it knowing their country just got into the world cup? No, they would try to avoid questioning and keep their head down, if they ref didnt see its not a foul as football stands...

Nobody is denying that. Obviously people in Bulgarian pubs don't have a vested ****ing interest in Irish soccer and are not passionate about it. Unless they are Irish, of course.

My point exactly they dont really care that they went out. They dont like how it happened but its like ohh wow what a bad hand ball, get me another beer mariusz..

[setanta]

My american cousins are in shock over this right now. Can't believe that the goal was allowed to stand and why Henry refused to apologize. I mean I usually argue with them over how much better football and rugby is to their sports but what can I say to this? How can you defend a sport that allows this kind of injustice to happen? Sure the crowd saw the replay 10 seconds after the "goal" was scored on the big screen. It's crazy, really.

[Wildcat!]

They do need to stop it on big desicions like this and penalty desicions.

Im with you here though lol..

So you're condoning cheating and that was blatant cheating. Crazy stuff.
Ok kids, cheat all you like as long as you're not seen doing it. And this is from the French captain who's worked endlessly in promoting fair play. It's actually laughable.

YOur american cousins are full of **** then. They miss calls in the NFL all the Fcking time. Just this week there was a controversial call in a Football game, Dallas Cowboys against the Green bay packers, were a ball was lost by the one team, and the referee reviewed it, knew it was a bad call, but the play had to stand, because by rule, the play shouldnt have been reviewed. So please, dont give that about the NFL, I know erverthing about that sport. And even though they have instant replay, they still miss calls, and they limit the amounts of replays you can have during a game. JUst like in Tennis, you have a limited amounts of challenges.

Yep, but at least they're allowed a certain amount of challenges and instant replay. Football has none of that. It's mental. Cheating is ruining the sport and Henry typifies what's happened in this era of the game. He will be remembered forever because of it.

[30stone]

I give up.

Henry is the devil he should rot.
Ireland should be autmoatically in the world cup although they didnt loook like winning particularly.
Footballs rules should be changed.

The world "greatest" football fans can be happy again.


Henry will be remembered by most as Arsenals top scorer to.

[30stone]

While we are at it should give the irish league title holders a place in the champions league to..

[Wildcat!]

Yep, but at least they're allowed a certain amount of challenges and instant replay. Football has none of that. It's mental. Cheating is ruining the sport and Henry typifies what's happened in this era of the game. He will be remembered forever because of it.

They are allowed 3 challenges in a game, thats it! And certain things cant be challenged no matter what.

And LMAO at Henry will orever be remembered for that! Keep telling yourself that.
Henry will forever be remember as a stud, legend of Arsenal, world cup winner, and 2 time world cup finalists. NOt a footnote in history in a qualifying game for the world cup. Like I said before, the only people who will remember, are the Irish, and some english people.

A stud... lol pathetic. This will tarnish his reputation forever, even with his compatriots who are destroying him in the press right now. The French public are even ashamed of him.

You bee to france and talked to em, listened to a few thousand + france fans?

Its just what the jounralists say.

LOL! YOure deluded as hell dude. I have loads of family in France. Henry is a hero right now. NO one gives a **** about this. I watched their live boradcast during the game, they didnt even mention the handball. The commentator acted like it never happened! :D That was hilarious. :D
Of course they talked about it later for like a second, but that was it.

Didn't look like winning? Did you see the amount of chances we created in both legs. Anyway the winning is irrelevant. Actually the silliest excuse you've come up with, and that's saying alot.

You just can't be so blase about something that is destroying the sport.

And football rules have been twisted and changed by FIFA before, only a couple of weeks ago with their decision to seed the playoffs. Don't lecture me on fairness and rules.

[Novo]

Henry said after the game

" I did it for my close friend Fabio "

[setanta]

LOL! YOure deluded as hell dude. I have loads of family in France. Henry is a hero right now. NO one gives a **** about this. I watched their live boradcast during the game, they didnt even mention the handball. The commentator acted like it never happened! :D That was hilarious. :D
Of course they talked about it later for like a second, but that was it.

Are you demented? Have you not read the press? They're ashamed, and rightly so.

[Wildcat!]

And BTW, I banter with all the english fans about their World cup chances, because its fun, thats what football is all about, banter, trash talking and such. Andy understands that, I am always trashing the English national team to him, and he takes it with good humour, and he trashes all the African teams as well.
I was talking smack last summer that Senegal was gonna win the world cup, but we got our asses kicked and we are out. Thats life, thats Football.

[Wildcat!]

Are you demented? Have you not read the press? They're ashamed, and rightly so.

Not only did I read the press, I listen to the tv commentators, ( I do speak french BTW, I dont just read hearsays from the english or Irish press), and I talk to my family and friends in France. And yes, Henry is a hero. Whats your point?

LOL, so now you dominated the first leg to?

Well then fifa should sort somthing out.
Henry isnt going to ( no footballer in the world would ask for a rematch if already in the world cup) even if he did i doubt it would happen.

[Wildcat!]

Henry said after the game

" I did it for my close friend Fabio "

LOL! So when are you gonna fire Fabio BTW, after the first round or the second? BEcause my guess is, thats when yall are gonna get knocked out!! :D

[setanta]

Not only did I read the press, I listen to the tv commentators, ( I do speak french BTW, I dont just read hearsays from the english or Irish press), and I talk to my family and friends in France. And yes, Henry is a hero. Whats your point?

Have you heard any of the ex french players reactions? Any of the ex Arsenal players? How the Irish supporters were treated after the match by French fans?

[setanta]

We didn't dominate but we had far more chances than them. They scored a jammy deflected goal, that's all.

Anyway, it's irrelevant to this discussion. Henry cheated and then shamed the sport by celebrating, not admitting to it being intentional and laughing the whole thing off. Joke.

[Wildcat!]

Have you heard any of the ex french players reactions? Any of the ex Arsenal players? How the Irish supporters were treated after the match by French fans?

Oh gawd!! NOw the supporters were treated badly as well? It never ends.
Give it a rest dude. I have heard all their reations, they all respect Henry, and believe in him when he says, he didnt mean to handle the ball.
Let it go Buddy, its bad for your health!

[Novo]

The irish will have to accept there not going to the world cup
Harsh Reality i know but they have to accept it, 2014 might be the year they Qualify who knows.

Personally i woudn't blame Henry i would blame Kilbane for playing awful as usual

[30stone]

Henry admitted it was handball, said what can i do, the ref has done nothing.
Why dont you celebrate a goal to?


Wonder if marradonna was sitting there saying " i taught him that "

[setanta]

Are you crazy? You're talking rubbish now. They've said they're embarrassed over it and that it's a terrible way to get through and that they can't celebrate a victory that came in that fashion.

And Lee Dixon and Winterburn think it's tarnished his career for good. You're actually talking rubbish because you love Henry and can't accept that he's a cheating git.

[Wildcat!]

LOL! English people will never forgive Diego that one! Talk about not letting go! :D

[30stone]

I dont care about marradonna and im english.
Smart man to be honest.

Just like a diver who gets away with it due to bad refereeing.

[Novo]

Setanta you will be laughing about that own goal in June when you are watching England Bang in the goals against New zealand in Group A

" Ahhhh knew england would make me proud " you will think to yourself

[Wildcat!]

I love Henry??? Why dont you get your facts straight before talking out of your ass!! I am not a supporter of Arsenal, France or Henry! We knocked Henry out of the World Cup in 2002. I just respect Henry for the player he is, and he has always have a lot of class and integrity. ONe handball is not gonna change my opinion on him.

[setanta]

Henry admitted it was handball, said what can i do, the ref has done nothing.

There you go again, accepting this in football. Henry has always tried to promote fairplay in the sport and now he's cheated and never apologized for it. His celebrations were an absolute disgrace and the level of bias in here is staggering really.

[Wildcat!]

Ahh, you are a rare bread. I am like that too. I dont give a **** about those things. Thats why I like a lot of South american players, because its an art form for them. There are rules in soccer, they are referees, and they have cards!!! The rest is up to them.

[setanta]

I love Henry??? Why dont you get your facts straight before talking out of your ass!! I am not a supporter of Arsenal, France or Henry! We knocked Henry out of the World Cup in 2002. I just respect Henry for the player he is, and he has always have a lot of class and integrity. ONe handball is not gonna change my opinion on him.

He's a classless gimp now. There's no going back on something like this. Integrity? Are you serious?

[30stone]

1 thing in an almost flawless career, where at one point he was the best int he world...

[Wildcat!]

There you go again, accepting this in football. Henry has always tried to promote fairplay in the sport and now he's cheated and never apologized for it. His celebrations were an absolute disgrace and the level of bias in here is staggering really.

Anyways, I dont want to gang up on you because its not fair. It was fun while others were here supporting your cause, but all by yourself, I will just have to let it go. Good luck in 4 years though. :D
Maybe Senegal and Ireland can have some friendly games during the world cup since we both got our asses knocked out. LOL! :D

Henry is the devil he should rot.
Ireland should be autmoatically in the world cup although they didnt loook like winning particularly.
Footballs rules should be changed.

Who said that? We are just making it quiet clear that we are upset. Because he deliberately controlled the ball. Something now he wont even admit to. Jesus Christ you know your getting as bad as Wildcat? If Henry is such a great character why does he have to lie to the press and shrug it off as a simple, accidental handball?

And then people pretending there is absolutely no solution. There is and it's rather simple : Bring in video replay, allow for each team to call up one video replay per half/game. Simple injustices corrected. No game slow down.Much like the rule in tennis, which seems to work just fine.

There are millions of pounds in potential deals riding on the back of some decisions, and I think it's absolutely fair to have some way of immediately holding refs to account if you're about to lose that money on account of a bad decision.

It's also not unfair to have video replays at the top of the game and not lower down, on the idea that the game is identical. Anyone who's ever seen a Premiership game and then turned out for some semi-pro Sunday league side will know that games are reffed very differently depending on your level, so introducing video replay is hardly that bad. We don't want the world to change, we're just a tiny bit pissed off.

Go figure.

As for the hilarious comments that all the French media are absolutely delighted...

There was plenty of sympathy for the Republic of Ireland in the French media this morning after the controversial extra-time goal that denied them a place in next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

The national sports newspaper L'Equipe ran the headline "Hand of God" on its back page this morning after the France captain, Thierry Henry, admitted to handling the ball in the lead-up to William Gallas's equaliser which secured an aggregate victory in Paris.

Le Monde admitted that the goal was a fraught ending to a stuttering qualification campaign for the French, with their main headline reading "Les Bleus relieved, Irish disgusted".

The France head coach, Raymond Domenech, has come in for criticism during his side's below-par campaign and the manner with which qualification to South Africa was finally accomplished has not convinced the French media.

The former World Cup winner Bixente Lizarazu, who is now a television and radio pundit, was outspoken following the match describing the performance as "catastrophic".

Speaking on TF1, he said: "We're going to go to the World Cup, but we go to the locker-room with our heads bowed. It was not something to be proud of. I'm not going to party."


http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/nov/19/french-reaction-thierry-henry-world-cup

Also, over 80% of French people wanted a rematch in online polls. So to say everyone in France is delighted is just plain ignorant.

[Niamh.]

Henry admitted it was handball, said what can i do, the ref has done nothing.
Why dont you celebrate a goal to?


Wonder if marradonna was sitting there saying " i taught him that "

If it was England that this happened to I doubt you'd have the same opinions Ben!!

Well I agree partly with that, yes. Obviously it shows good faith and support to at least try for a rematch but nah, we were never going to get one :joker:.

[30stone]

French accoring to a poll 80% want a rematch.

But

Most of them are not pissed at henry they just dont want to go throught the way they did.
"Henry is not a cheat"


I would quite like a Replay, but fifa have made a FINAL desicion apparently.

The French naturally didnt want a replay so it wasn't so, (french football manger etc not the public)

I dont think it should be their choice fifa should make the choice without asking ireland or france weather they want one.


"fifa is the ruler of the game and we abide by what they say, we should move on, there is nothing we can do now, and it came down to a referee's mistake. it was abitter qualification but sometimes in history it has gone against us." - French Generation just in on sky sports.

I think alot of teams would tbh, I mean there's a very good chance they'd beat us anyway and least then they could go into the world cup with their heads held high and without people calling them cheats

[30stone]

Roy Keane " Why is there so much talk on henry, how can you let a stiker of his calibre get goal side of you in the 6 yard box id be asking more from my defence and keeper where were they, they should have cleared that ball way before. Where was the defenders"

On john delaney i think it is, who is talking all about honesty and everything.. " He's talking about honesty he needs to remember the 2002 world cup ireland team"

On the replay idea " no i dont think they should get a replay nor do they deserve it these things happen in football what goes around, they had their chances but they didnt take them, they never looked like they were going to put the game away"

On technology "ive been saying it for years every couple of months it comes up."

[Niamh.]

Roy Keane is a legend.............but I still don't see the problem in looking for a replay whether Ireland missed chances or not they lost because of that 1 goal that should have been dis-allowed!

[30stone]

Sir Alex and Big Sam both saying the call for technology is more than ever.
But both believe ireland had good chances that they should have put away, but shouldnt have gone out that way as its (in the words of Sam) "soul destroying" way to leave.

Martinez (wigan manager) believes the call of henry being a cheat is unfair, said he was surprised that none of the officials could pick that up. And also asked for technology.

French high up bloke not sure what his role is but he said, he has sympathy for ireland as its not the right way to go out, but we are very happy to be through.

[30stone]

The former Manchester United was in typically forthright form at a press conference today and hinted that the situation was pay-back for the dishonesty and lack of integrity he feels the FAI have shown in the past.

"I've been amazed at the commotion that's been going for the last few days," he told reporters.

"I think we're on about Henry's handball - of course he handled it - but I'd focus on why they [Ireland's defenders] didn't clear it.

"I'd be more annoyed with my defenders and my goalkeeper than Thierry Henry. How can you let a ball bounce in the six yard box? How can you let Thierry Henry get goalside of you?

"And as the ball bounced in the six yard box I'd be saying 'where the hell's my goalkeeper?'"

As for whether the integrity of the game had been damaged, as many at the FAI have asserted, Keane disagreed strongly.

"No," he stated, when asked. "No, not one bit.

"You look over the course of the campaign, Ireland had their chances in the two games. They never took it in the first game, they never performed.

"I heard a few interviews after the games where the manager was speaking about none of the players got booked. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe they should have got booked in the first game because we stood off France.

"In the second half we had opportunities to score and we didn't take it.

"But the usual FAI reaction - 'We've been robbed!', 'the honesty of the game!'

"There was one of the group games, I'm sure it was against Georgia, where Ireland got a penalty and it was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen which changed the whole course of the game.

"I think Robbie [Keane] scored the penalty and Ireland went on to win it.

"I don't remember the FAI saying after the game we should have had a replay.

"John Delaney? He's on about the honesty and integrity of the game. I wouldn't take any notice of that man.

"People forget the last time Ireland were at the World Cup in 2002. People seem to forget what was going on at that World Cup, and that man's on about honesty.

"I was one of the players. He didn't even have the courtesy to ring me. He got interviewed and all he said was 'I don't know where he is, he's on the island somewhere I think.'

"I've been involved with Ireland since I was 15 years of age, and that man didn't even have the decency to make a phone call.

"They should have cleared the ball.

"I think the Irish supporters probably deserve better, I think their manager and most of their players deserve better but I'm not sure the FAI deserve better.

"What goes around comes around."

Roy Keane.

[30stone]

This bit makes me laugh..

England could lose 4billion from loss of productivity? What the hell :laugh:

Aye, the FAI were moronic, still are really, but Keane should have gotten over that and played. Your talking about fulfilling the hopes, dream's and ambitions of four million plus Irish people versus some petty internal squabble.

Roy Keane has always had a chip on his shoulder concerning the FAI and this was a perfect opportunity for him to vent, but to be honest I'm appalled at him for taking a cheap shot so soon after such a huge and emotional game. I'd question his motivation over the whole thing really and he's gone way down in my estimation over this thing.

And Ben, to compare a misjudged ref decision in the Georgia match and a deliberate handball from Henry (Keane said it wasn't deliberate- what a moron) is just silly really. Keane has a seperate agenda here; he's always had it when it involved Ireland.

[Wildcat!]

Are these people still over here crying?
So I guess Roy KEane is now the Irish public enemy #2.
Its so laughable to see these people think they will get some sort of a replay. LIke they are the first team in the world to have a decision go against them. ANd you honestly think Henry wants a replay? Thats a throwaway comment to make you feel better about your faith!

YOu can go on and on, all you like! Again watch the other video. YOu claimed, how the Irish people would never accept an injustice to their advantage. So why not go ask for this game to be replayed. It was clearly handball by Roy Keane, and yet Ireland got a penalty. Thats 3 points that you shouldnt have had. so the game against Frane shoulnt have even happened in the first place.

And BTW, I am not bothered by your insults, coming from people I dont know, you think I really care?

And then he laughed his cheating off in the press room, saying that it wasn't intentional and that if the ref didn't spot it, well that's it really. It was a totally intentional act and it's shameful that he decided to pass the blame for it all entirely onto the ref.

again exhibit A, ignore it all you want. I didnt even know about this, because obviously, it wasnt so important since the call didnt go against Ireland. BUt thank god for Roy Keane and his honesty and sense of perspective.

Nobody is denying your video evidence. In fact, your only bringing yourself down. Your going to great lengths to point out Ireland's cheating to us yet when confronted about Henry apparently it's a non issue, an automatic handball response, and we should all get on with our lives.

You have issues, kid.

[Wildcat!]

well, since you bring up changing the rules, didn't they already do that when they were doing the draws for the play-off's?? They were hell bent on France getting through anyway so I didn't really think they'd agree to a rematch and risk them being knocked out!

YOu can go on and on, all you like! Again watch the other video. YOu claimed, how the Irish people would never accept an injustice to their advantage. So why not go ask for this game to be replayed.

You honestly can't compared the two. Keane was trying to trap a ball and it hit the top part of his arm which was next to his body. All players do this when trying to control a ball from a height and occassionally it connects with their arm.

As for Henry's, he took his arm away from his body to control the ball with his HAND. They're totally different incidents and can't be treated the same. Do you know anything about football?

[Wildcat!]

Would you let us mourn Wildcat!!! Have you no heart????:joker:

Naaa, its all good!!! Like I said before, I actuall felt really bad, when the thing happened. I even called some of my friends in France to make fun of them for going through that way. BUt the over reaction in the press, and the internet, really pissed me of. BUt yeah! Sorry. :)

Errrm, the point is he HANDLED THE BALL!!!! And as a result you got a ficticious penalty that never happened. Its the same thing. He tried to trap the ball, WTF, who cares how it happened. It was a handball. WHy dont the oh so honest Irish player, like you claim, go tell the referee to cancel the penalty. HE even took it himself eagerly! Give me a Fcuking break!

I am so not anti Irish. If anything, in Football, I am always anti England. YOu can ask 30stone, ANdy and all the regulars over here. But its always in good fun.

It's not the same thing at all you moron. Seriously, I don't think you actually know anything about football. Strikers try to trap the ball on their chest with arms at their side in every single game that you watch, including Henry. Occassionally it hits the top part of their arms.... that's football.

You simply can't compare the two incidents and in any case you're just acting like a wally now cuz Keane has thrown you a little bit of bait and you're biting. Henry handled the ball deliberately with his fecking hand. You bore me, seriously.

A handball is a handball. The only time its not called, is if the arms are glued to your body!!! YOu can twist and turn it however your like, it doesnt change the fact that it was a handball. I the referee had seen, it, it woulve been called. ANd Robbie Keane knows that.
Funny how you thing, in this case, thats football, but not in the other. :rolleyes: Keep contradicting yourself.

It doesnt matter how I found out about it, you obviously did a great job concealing it, having never mentioned it even once, being so honest and all.

SO again, this one is a double whammy, not only did keane Handle the ball, the Georgians never did! SO can we replay this match please?

You can't compare the two when trapping is commonplace in football, with the occassional glancing off the top of the arm being inevitable, whereas attempting to play basketball isn't.

Yeah, now you think you know soccer more than me! This is your new argument?
What part of it doenst matter do you not get? If the ref sees that, he calls it on the field, plain and simple, same as if its deliberate.
YOure just a hypocrite, and your whole honesty point is really funny right now, how youre not accepting the fact that, you got away with one, which allowed you to pocket 3 points. BUt it wasnt so important was it! NO, not as important as it going against your team.

Henry and Keane cannot be compared here and I've already stated my reasons why, but again you refuse to accept the glaring difference between the two incidents, with one being common place in football while the other wont be seen again till the Six Nations starts. This is ridiculous stuff.

So if its common place its not comparable???
You trying to ridicule Henry comparing it to rugby doesnt change the facts. They are both an infraction, that if the referee sees it, it will be called. They are both the same infraction.

The only difference between the two is, one would probably be just a foul, the other would be a foul and a card. Regardless, they are both FOULS!!!!!!
So you shouldnt even have been in the playoffs in the irst place to have this discussion! WHy didnt go to FIFA to ask for a replay to keep the "integrity" of the game then??

It's actually ridiculous the lengths to which you will go to exonerate Henry when anyone who knows football will tell you that it was incredibly unsportsmanlike behaviour which will tarnish his name forever.

You're going around and around in circles trying to connect his act with an example of cushioning the ball, an act that's part of football, but all you're really highlighting is your own inability to accept how wrong Henry's actions and behaviour were.

Henry traps the ball all the time for f cuks sake. You're rambling on like a moron here and I'm not going to humour you anymore when I've stated my case already.

Unless you have anything further to add I'm done with this line of questioning.

You're really going to such lengths here. Henry's actions were that of a cheat while that Georgia penalty was a call made by the ref - you can't compare the two. There was intent on Henry's part while the Georgia decision was on a handball that the ref apparently saw. They're totally different.

Cheating and quesionable judgement cannot be compared. This is boring now.

Errrm, please, give me Fking break. YOure a hypocrite, plain and simple. YOur misguided high moral ground is absolutely laughable.

Let me reapeat myself: Both cases, wrong decisions by the referee. Difference being, you are making a big deal out of the France game, while trying to trivialise the Georgia game, as it suits you. IN both cases, one team got hard done by, and thats what happens sometimes in Football.

Even if the Georgia game didnt happen, I will say the same thing, its not the fcking news of the century, and will be forgotten soon enough.

This is ridiculous but I'll humour you once more, and with a little list so it's easier to read for a dullard like you.

1. Henry blatant cheating vs Georgia'a questionable decision. I don't think I
have to elaborate here do I?

2. Those 2 or 3 points against Georgia would not have effected the overall
outcome of the group. We'd have still come second.

3. The importance of the match. This was no little fixture... Henry knew
the eyes of the world were fixed on it and yet he refuses to apologise over
a shameful act of cheating. Which leads me to number 4...

4. Why are you defending him you muppet?

It's not hypocrisy at all. Is that it? That's the best you can come up with? I've answered every question and I said we wouldn't accept cheating dummy.
Bad calls happen in football and, while I agree that video footage should become apart of the game, I still believe that it in general it balances out during the course of a qualifying campaign or league format.

However, this was a one off match with the biggest prize up for grabs and Henry cheated.... there'e no defensive here. It's an inexcusable act that can't be compared to errors in judgement from refs. Buy an inflatable Henry doll for yourself and leave me alone.

Both infringements? - debatable considering that type of cushioning happens all the time. Henry, on the other hand attempted something that I've never seen on a football pitch before. It was disgraceful and ultimately led to Ireland's exit from the World Cup.

I'm not being a hypocrite here..... there needs to be a change of rules regarding decisions of this importance but please stop hiding behind this argument in a feeble attempt to pardon Henry. And don't forget that the Georgia match didn't change the final standing in the group.

I dont think he really liked England.But yeah, he is solid. We really shouldve gne through this year, but there were some internal alpha male things going on in the team. Like Diawara and Niang, werent called for our ultimate qualifying game, because supposedly, they didnt get along with Diouf.
Its too bad, but oh well!

[Niamh.]

Senegal!
I know, we suck! :sad:

I wasn't enquiring just to say your soccer team sucked! I was just curious is all, I bet you miss the weather there?

(nate, that good enough :joker:)

[HeatherTWx]

The Reds XI in full is: Reina, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Mascherano, Lucas, Kuyt, Gerrard, Babel, Ngog. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, El Zhar, Aurelio, Riera, Benayoun, Kyrgiakos.

Gerrard starts, Johnsons out.
Torres still injured.

[Lauren]

Toure just been injured in Liv v Man C game.

[30stone]

Agger injured to and the greek guy is on for liverpool

[30stone]

Surprisingly i want either a draw or a liverpool win.

[Lauren]

Ben whats your prediction for our game? I reckon 3-1 you guys! A draw or win for us isn;t impossible (we've won against Liverpool, drew (deserved win) against Man U, and were better team against Spurs), but I think Arsenal when they're on form is way above the other teams.

[Lauren]

Babel limping and asking to leave pitch.

[King Gizzard]

start stoppy boring game so far

[Novo]

Need Barry to score or Assist a few in this game

I don't think we will lose although very possible.
Think we will win 2 or 3 - 1 but i think you'll score.

I havent watched much of this game because I just booked my red letter day, me n my brother are driving a lamborghini next may dont believe i shared it with him lol.

But yeah i think from the like 10 + mins ive seen liverpool have looked better, Greek defender is doing well, gerrard is on form..

[HeatherTWx]

Fair do's

[Brad.]

Yeah, i would have thought that too. if villa win this weekend then they must go into the top 4 if these two draw, surely?
