that's a semantics problem.

he doesn't actually mean it's 'legal' when he's telling you that.

he's simply encouraging you to cheat while you can't be seen.

if you were caught, you'd be penalised.

hence, the act is still wrong.

are you honestly not getting this?

You can scratch this one from your list, it was proved that the time added was bang on.

And 9 minutes vs Sheffield Wednesday in 1993.
Where United went from 1 down to 1 up!
Don't remember Fergie calling for a replay in the interests of fair play that time either.
But the point is not to focus on Utd.

Liverpool, Arsenal etc have all benefitted from dodgy decisions.
France were cheated in 1982 Battison hacked down by Schumacher who wasn't sent off and in 2006 when Zidane was goaded by Italy.

Football throws up controversy - if you take the smooth then you have to ride with the rough!

The rest of your post is total ****e. France were cheated when Zidane was goaded by Italy??? LOL

Also sound like you have a chip on your shoulder about Utd.

Unless by legal you mean ''wrongly allowed''...

Interesting how you didn't comment on the 9 mins vs Wednesday.
As a Liverpool fan I accept that we got past Chelsea in 2005 with a goal that never was - no one on the Kop called for a replay.
Stevie G vs Athletico and David Ngog vs Brum dived for penalties.
No one called for justice there either.

My point is that I cannot - and you cannot - call for justice now on Henry if you didn't then.

Reuters:

A group calling itself "Justice for The Boys in Green" has announced it is to march on the French Embassy in Dublin on Saturday next in protest at the manner of Ireland's defeat to France in last night's World Cup Qualifier.

Organisers have said they expect a crowd of up to 10,000 to participate in the march. There will be a heavy police presence despite assurances from the organisers that the group believes in peaceful protest.

In a further development Brian Cowen has recalled Irish Ambassador to France Anne Anderson back to Ireland.

I can see you're having difficulty understanding the nature of consistency.
You haven't read my lines condemning Liverpool players for 'cheating'.
Still - why would someone think for themselves when someone is safe with their mob mentality.

Where is the French embassy?

Also, what can this achieve? Are the poor ****ers in the French embassy going to be taken hostage until a replay is organized?

I think you are the one having difficulty.

I am not Irish, the result meant nowhere near as much to me as those here.

Im not criticising Henry and I think the concept of having a replay is retarded.

England have been cheated before, you get over it in time but the reaction from people while OTT is understandable as emotions run high.

My problem was you using this as a dig at Utd. Its pathetic.

A dig at United as many Irish people who support that club need to stop in their tracks to see how they defend dodgy decisions going Utd's way.

Same for Liverpool - the club I support.

When you mention England you talk of bad decisions against.
That's my point - you haven't even considered bad decisions in favour.
Like Geoff Hurst 'goal' on the line in 1966 for example.
Like Rattin getting sent off for verbal abuse when he didn't speak the same language as the ref.

One way traffic is all we're seeing from you.

All sides lose and win with cheating - that's the nature of the game.

OPENROAD

England have had some awful decisions against them in late stages of competitions.

I can remember two Sol Campbell goals being disallowed in two seperate tournaments.

England should have asked for repalys here.

Its not really that ludacris that Cowen wants a meeting. Imagine how much Ireland getting to the world cup would help the economy.

And Ireland getting to the World Cup won't stop that but it will help the mood of the nation and let's face it that will be very welcome.

Can you quantify the gain

And what about people being too pissed to go into work, how is that going to help the Economy, any gain is very minor and certainly won't get us out of the economic mess we are in

Anything?? Are they not fans of football? And they are supposedly highly respected people and who better to have as a representative of Irish fans than the Taoiseach. I don't think anything will come of the meeting but to say they don't have anything to do with football is wrong.

yeah let them have a natter about it, but for him to actively petition for a replay to a guy who has nothing to do with football in france is ridiculous
