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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
