(BlueBallz @ Nov. 19 2009,05:30) Just saw what that cheating twat Henry did in extra time to get France into the World Cup Finals. He should be ashamed of himself. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing. Cunt....hope France doesnt get out of its group....What will that obnoxious elitist, smug bastard Platini have to say about this??
no dispute henry cheated,one thing to consider here tho before anyone wants to rant.....................what would you have done in his position and knowing the stakes and that it he might get away with it?..................me thinks many of you would do the same,as for me im undecided what id do one way or other.
(whore @ Nov. 19 2009,05:59) Its an awful shame that such a big game for a place in the world cup went down to such a goal. Although am not sure if I would be saying that if the boot was on the other foot.
Correct , it can be a cruel game that can turn on one wrong decision , not much consolation when it happens against your team but that's the way it goes .
The referee also missed a cert penalty to France in the game .
I remember scoring a winner in a cup game one time when I was at least 5 yards offside , almost caused a riot and the referee got punched at the end .
Did I feel like a cheat ? Did I fuck , one of the best goals I ever scored

referee doesn t miss a penalty for us..(yes, i m french), simply because there is no penalty at all...goal keeper never with intention to keep Anelka leg
i just want to said that yesterday Ireland give us football lesson.;they show us what is the fighting spirit, the pride to play for their country, the privilege to wear and defend the national team shirt
Irish supporter show us what is to be "supporter" by never whistled their players..they show us at the end of the game that football is not vandalism
Ireland yesterday show us that these football players and supporters have very big heart
Ever if in the past..France was spoiled by RFA in 1982, ever if the referee does a mistake when he red card Zidane in 2006 during france/italy world cup final....Now france has the opportunity to push FIfA to change it, by replay the game for such kind of unjustice never happened anymore...French, Irish,german,italian etc

It is wot it is now, history. We can moan all We want , nothing is going to change.
But thanx for being so honest, I would be the same as you if it had been Ireland who had cheated. Wrong is wrong, matters little if it's your side or not !
We made it...u didnt....bye bye get over it...lets face it who has the biggest appeal at world cup time. France or a bunch of spud farmers who cant even beat Australia at Rugby.
Geez even the Kiwis made it...
Whoever said "laughter is the best medicine", has never had the clap....
Roy Keane had little sympathy for the Football Association of Ireland's campaign to have their controversial World Cup play-off against France replayed and said: "What goes around comes around."
The Ipswich manager's relationship with the FAI broke down following his walk-out from the Republic of Ireland training camp prior to the 2002 World Cup.
And he dismissed their calls for "the honesty and integrity" of the sport to be protected in the wake of Thierry Henry's handball which led to France's winner in Paris on Wednesday night.
He told a press conference broadcast by Sky Sports News: "I think the supporters deserve better, the manager (Giovanni Trapattoni) deserves better and probably most of the players deserve better, but I'm not sure the FAI deserve better.
"What goes around comes around."
Keane pointed out that controversial decisions also went Ireland's way in the qualifying campaign, not least a harsh penalty award against Georgia which helped them to claim a 2-1 qualifying win in February.
He added: "Ireland had their chances in the two games (against France), and they never took them. But it's the usual FAI reaction - 'we've been robbed, the honesty of the game...'
"There was one match 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 don't remember the FAI after the game saying we should give them a replay."
Talking specifically about France's winner, Keane laid the blame on Ireland's defence rather than Henry, who handled the ball before crossing for William Gallas to head in.
"I'd focus on why they didn't clear it," he said.
"I'd be more annoyed with my defenders and my goalkeeper than Thierry Henry. How can you let the ball bounce in your six-yard box? How can you let Thierry Henry get goal-side of you?
"If the ball goes into the six-yard box, where the hell is my goalkeeper?"
Keane's antipathy towards the FAI stems back to the Pacific island of Saipan seven years ago when he left the team's pre-World Cup training camp, complaining that the facilities were sub-standard.
"People seem to forget what was going on in that World Cup, and that man (FAI chief executive John Delaney) is on about honesty. I was one of the players and he didn't have the courtesy to ring me," he said.
"I'd been involved with Ireland since I was 15 years of age and that man didn't have the decency to make a phone call. He could have phoned me, of course he could have."
