McShane NO WAY

Yes we were cheated out.

But we had several golden chances to put the game beyond France that we didn't take. We should have been 2 or 3 nil up before extra time easy.

illumin

gutted even more so as i should be there
i dunno how fifa will broach this issue although i hope henry comes out and says hes sorry

Basq

Heads up lads..

We were the better team at the end of the day..

I'm absolutely gutted..

OPENROAD

Giles is spot on imo

SantryRed

It was instinctive by Henry in all fairness. We'd all do it. Dunphy's right :eek: The bench was rediculous tonight, two Reids and Carsley would have made more of a difference than Gibson.

Headshot

"a stain on the game"

couldnt say it better myself

Mr.Nice Guy

Jaysus John Giles is pissed off at Miriam.

Doyle looks in bits

If that ref ****ing makes it to the world cup, I will be beyond pissed off, I will know for sure that Platini is to blame.

jaykay74

What did Giles / Dunphy say generally and about henry specifically ?

Thanks

Is St.Ledger deliberately excluded fron that list?

Are we allowed to use the 'C' word?

Leave Henry alone. If Keane done the same he'd be a legend. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Yeah point taken...............But i didn't see Keane or any other Ireland player for a matter of fact cheat to try win tonight??????? Bit of a silly comment i think.

Well, Ireland may have finally brought video technology into the modern game. THIS CANNOT BE IGNORED.

Why now though, has been plenty of incidents before this one

Everyone who played battled their hearts out.

I'm immensely proud of every one of them.

In a just world we'd be getting ready for the World Cup.

Séan St. Ledger too of course!

If an Irish player done that, I would be embarrassed as hell and I would not be happy. I do not see a high horse though

Marco Tardelli not hiding it, says that he really is pissed off..

Fair play to Doyle for giving an interview, took balls, big balls.

There are extra refs in the UEFA cup on both post at the moment under trial.

That would have solved that.

Keane handled the ball five times tonight trying to gain advantage.

and was penalised 5 times :rolleyes:

Are you bovvered... Yes.

As tardelli said, "I'm very angry right now"

This is a cancer!

LOL!

Well played Ireland. Best team on the night. I'll leave it at that as if I'm any more honest I would be breaking the rules.

which one?:D


Ireland played there heart out , it what I wanted , unfair result but what a match:)

Just googled 'Thierry Henry Handball'

T'internet is alive with his 'blatant handball'

Thierry has ruined his reputation and this will take years to recover, even L'Equipe have said it was blatant.

C'mon whoever else is in their WC Group.

The miserable bastards on rte.ie just cut the feed! :eek:

edit - its back. Silly sausuages.

davehey79

sometimes ya dont get the rub of the green but what happened tonight was just plain and simple, out and out, 100% cheating. first bounce up to the hand i'll give as accidental but that 2nd hand to control it was just down right blatant. henry just lost the respect of a long time admirer of said footballer

Hank Scorpio

sickening overall

but im happy and proud.

decies

Tardelli made a good point there - he asks why did the referee not go to Henry and ask him , - Q. Did you handle the ball with you hand - Yes or No ?

Jaysus, the lads must be in absolute bits, considering how we feel about it.

rocco

Henry handled it no doubt but it was a reaction most footballers would have. No player would turn around in the heat of the moment and own up to it. Cheating goes on in all sports look at rugby union were people try gouge each others eyes out... It all comes down to the need for a video referee . Fair enough Henry was wrong and I am sure he knows that . If he was asked about it and denied it well thats a different story. The sport is governed by fools at the moment . Ireland were unreal tonight great performance and its very hard to take that we wont be at the finals next year.

The World knows we lost thru that cheat!

But McShame is a liability. Wasn't happy seeing him come on. He's reckless and not very intelligent IMHO.

HOOF IT OUT MCSHAME!!!!!

I thought it would have gone to pens if the score stayed the same

am i bovvered

yea, I love Ireland and football, but everyone in the game accepts cheating, Doyle in the interview "you cannot blame the player" they all feel its ok.... its engrained deeply in the game

Too right. And if he lied, banned for some matches for misleading the referee.

Would have much preferred to see Kelly come on instead of McShane

Only because he didnt get the chance, you do what you can for your country. Emotions are running high but if it happened in favour of Ireland i dont think there would be that much discussion amongst us all about what should happen to the Irish cheat.
