Platini is on FIFA, forget it.... is not like pre 2006 about a re-match in ASIA, France must be on 2010. sorry for Ireland, all shit happen always.

remember Germany 1 - Argentina 0 in Italy 90, we get off Italy so FIFA fuck off argentina with a penalty.

yes, the goal shouldn't have stood. Yes Terry Henry is a cheat (as is that dirty bastard Anelka). You could call the ball against the wrist/forearm an accident, but then when Terry Henry uses his hand to steer the ball in the right direction, that was intentional.


However, dispite this, I do not think there should be a replay. And I think the result shoudl stand.


Terry Henry, has admitted he handled the ball, although claiming it was an accident. When Irish players asked him att he time he admitted it. But the one person who should have asked him... the ref... did not ask him!

My opinion is the result should stand but the ref should never take charge of a high level football match again.

Also FIFA need to introduce video replays for such circumstances. Rugby Union uses vide referees very effectivly. It stops play for maybe a minute whilst the video ref looks at the action. The video ref can then make a ruling there and then so even if the onfield ref missed it, it would still be caught.

FIFA seem to have somethin against technology. The stupid extra linesmen in the europa league this year is not the answer. Video replays could resolve this without adding two extra editots the the pitch.


Either way, the result should stand and FIFA should make some changes.

Yeah, it's totally unfair. I feel sorry for Ireland, they deserved to have their ticket to South Africa but like always cheater Henry and his team got the "luck".

I hope France will get that "many" points on World Cup 2010 as they did in 2002!

yes, shit happens, as a supporter of non old firm team up in scotland we are used to this kind of thing on a weekly basis, goal disallowed, penalties given against you for obvious dives etc, you just get used to it.

But it's nice to see them (old firm) gettin humped in Europe.

Unbelievable. Cheating pays off, what a great message

[deadone]

i also am 1 of the old firm supporters and fan. (Celtic) and agreed this crap goes on all the time and nothing is ever done about it.
some refs def should be allowed to even step on a pitch.

as for using some tech, im all for it with video footage, this will also stop alot of the crap that goes on nowadays.. far to many cheats in the game i say
