    Keeping quiet is the way forward alright. We'll see 'Fair Play' and common sense in soccer someday, I suppose..

    I'm going to start buying them. What did these companies and their employees do to deserve a boycott? Henry has made his money from them.

    Mmm... can't beat that cool, refreshing Pepsi!

    Yep - here's the last Maradona vs England thread in soccer, lots of sympathy for the losing team there, calls that it was a disgrace the game wasn't replayed and everything.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055227907

    I'm not picking on Xavi, but his quote is indicative of what I really believe *most* Irish feel about this type of thing when the boot is on the other foot.
    What the hell is he saying sorry for? It's one of the greatest moments of all time. He tried something and it worked. Plus it was against England!

    Come on! Our players and commentators don't constantly use the phrase 'twelfth man'. And this was an indisputably wrong decision and in any case should've been reviewed by the ref, whilst they'd be moaning about a free that didn't go their way.

    You said the following ..

    Now as I wouldn't say that, and I pointed out the reasons in my reply, then you are indeed, on this occasion, 'wrong'.

    I didn't get "Mad" over your views on the match. I got 'irritated' as you suggested I'd feel something that I wouldn't if this happened to someone other team and also throwing around the "sore loser' remark didn't help.

    Guys, I recommend you join either of the first two petitions on the first page of this thread with both reaching sizeable amounts. If you split into hundreds of tiny petitions the entire effort is doomed.

    relax there! and clearly you are going a little 'Mad'!
    anyway. im sorry i irritated you.

    yes this did just happen, BUT there is nothing you,i,fai,trap,keane,kilbane,given etc can do, its over, we are not going anywhere next summer! sad to say it, true though!

    also, this will back fire in a few years, who knows, one of our players could do something like this. would you be supportive of the other team???? and by the looks of things, fifa wont do a thing, i wonder will the ref even get suspended?

    People please! Stop splitting up petitions! We have 2 on the main page, support either of them as they are the only ones with any REAL momentum. The more we divide, the easier we will fall

    Maybe, but what's wrong with trying? There has been replays and right now is the perfect time to embarrass FIFA as it's only a matter of time before we follow what's happening in Rugby.

    First of all, I don't think an Irish player would do that. Ball to hand? - yes .. and that would be football.

    Ball to hand and then Hand to Ball to stop ball going out of play? Then I would be saying the same thing and reccomending that the country in question should appeal.

    Heck, look at the Polls coming out of France. Even they are saying we should appeal.

    As far as I know there is no petition online for Robbie to get to take that shot again.

    :D

    Ok like I don't know much about football at all, I think it is important that I preface what I am about to say with that. I think that the Irish are a disgrace, and conducted themselves terribly throughout this whole affair. Granted, Henry did handle the ball, but it is generally acknowledged that this was a reflex action, not one which he was consciously aware of, a point of view stated by both players and commentators. The amount of hate I have seen directed not only towards Henry himself, but the French public in general, has been an embarrassment as far as I am concerned. One needs to do nothing more than to log onto Facebook and look at some of the comments which are being left on Thierry Henry fan pages, not to mention the manifold anti-Henry pages which have sprouted up like some foul fungus in the time since the match. If this is how immature Ireland's attitude to sport is than we should abstain until we can think about it and contextualise it. Maybe then we could be a bit more rational in our response if this incident is to repeat itself at some juncture in the future. I don't mean to offend, a sentiment not shared by many others.

    Ireland are screwed again. Instead of seeding teams by their finish in the group ( we finished second, so we would be seeded in the second pot) UEFA have introduced a co-efficient system. http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/...0_DOWNLOAD.pdf


    This places Ireland 25th best team in Europe, putting us in what may be the 4th... pot next time out instead of the second pot like we should be.

    Another screw job for the smaller nations by Platini and his cohorts.
