You never "get over" something like this. You move on but as for getting over it - never!


have you considered a shrink?;)

Agreed 100%. The name Thierry Henry or even seeing Les Bleus on TV will never be the same. However, when not in front of me, I no longer see IT every time I close my eyes. The day I look on the Ireland discussion forum here and don't see the words France, World Cup, or Henry is the day I'll know the forum has moved on.

I taped it and to be honest only watched the first 30 mins so far as it was poor show, just hightlights and no analysis of interviews really. Basically you could put it together from the rte website and Darragh Maloney talking over it while standing beside a canal outside Croke Park.

I really dont want to see this. They were doing a thing on Newstalk the other night looking back at the France game, had to switch it off :-(

Anyone got a torrent or a way to watch this outside of Ireland. I'm in the US and wouldnt mind having a look at this.

It's a handy site to get to watch RTE programs for exiles but you need an invite.

True enough but they could have at least got the panel to contribute.

Oh God, no thanks. To have to listen to the panel saying the same thing they've been saying all year would have done my head in. Just about every documentary on Irish football over the past 25 years has included Dunphy spouting off. It's as if he is Irish football. I thought it was refreshing not to have him saying the same old same old.

We don't need "experts" to tell us what happened. It was just a review of the games and I enjoyed it (apart from the last 5 minutes) as such.

It was an alright programme of its type. Just enough to remind us of what might have been.
And the incompetence of FIFA, cheating of Henry et al....

I hope the WC will be better run that the African nations has been so far, otherwise it may well be a blessing in disguise we're not there.
