Ridiculous.
People need to get some perspective - at the end of the day no-one was hurt.
The ref made a horlicks of it. tough luck but lets move on.
West Brits;)
totally ott
really starting to make a show of ourselves now
I think the best and all we can hope for and it will be fair
Is for all parties to come out admit they were wrong .Apologise ,
Forget about it and move on
Maybe a 3 match (in the finals) ban for henry would be suitable but thats it
Have a bit of dignity please. It's a game of football. Life goes on.
Jesus Wept. That is pathetic.

Comical, absolutely comical
Way over the top if this is true, anyone that turns up must have way too much time on their hands! Likewise, Cowen or the rest of the Government stooges shouldn't be getting involved either clearly in a vain effort just to court populist opinion!
How true. Ironic and embarassing to hear Fianna Fail apparently upset about bad decisions and incompetence! How about we replay the last 15 years without them, that’s a sure win for Ireland!Quote:

Raiding Henry's Twitter site.....
Mother of God like!!!
Stop it, stop it now!!! :o
I agree. Even the English didnt go that far after Maradona.
But seriously we got humped by the officials, lets deal with it. Just like the thousands of other clubs and national sides that have been on the receiving end of disgraceful decisions. Move on. Replay? You're having a laugh.
Oh dear jesus no. Please say its a wind up.
It just shows the influence the English owned red tops and the talk radio jocks have over most of the sheep in this country.
I will be mortified if this actually happens.
Just as a question to you both. How many Internationals have you traveled to during this campaign?
Yes, it is pathetic.Fair enough Delaney calling for the replay(even though I don't really agree there should be one). He may know he's not going to get it but he's definitely right to kick up a fuss.Quote:

At best I will say Delaney is making as much fuss to get someting out of them to shut us up - like a UEFA cup final for Dublin maybe.Quote:

Agree that Henry should be banned. If they wanted to ban Edwardo or whatever he's called for diving in the CL vs Celtic then he deserves a 3 match competitive ban at least.
Irrelevant question.Quote:

If you dont want to read genuine disapointment and hurt then log off.
Kingdomspost sums it up well.
Of course not. He has to be seen to do something though. Whatever you may say about him, he's not a simpleton.......Quote:

Of course people dont really think this will work. They are angry, they are fans.
We won't and shouldn't get a replay. I am gutted by wednesday but you cannot replay every football match that was influenced by a refereeing error. Yes it was a massive match and a massive error and it hurts like hell but that is it.
I think JD is playing a different game. It might be compensation, it might be an invite to soemthing like the Confederations Cup or something for the Aviva.
However we have a huge match on sunday that to some people is just as important as wednesday night. If Sligo or Fingal lose to an offside goal or a handball will they get a replay?
Whoever has planned this should be sectioned.
Well put, come on the Rovers!!:)Quote:

The Republics 2nd biggest City is flooded, there are people being evacuated by the military, the city is shut down....but still this "replay" is headline news over it!!!!
The govt are using this to gain favour! its a political stunt! Nothing more, nothing less!!
Apologies if posted already.............official FIFA response to FAI request for replay. End of story!

What are you on here going on about it then for?? Considering you gave us no chance before the game, log out and get your welly boots on ;)

Yes we were hard done by. We would have gone to the 1982 world cup but for a crook called Raul Nazare who took a bribe from the Belgians. That was a far greater injustice. We lost a playoff over 2 legs we should have won and may well have won but for a refereeing error. It was however an honest mistake.
Had the referee given a penalty for Anelka's dive it might have looked suspicious. Tbh I thought it was a penalty when watching live but obviously know from tv it wasn't. The handball was obvious to most in the ground but unfortunately not to the officials.
Henry cheated so make him pay. Blatter changed the rules to help the big countries and FIFA will have damaged credibility for this.
However most importantly we had 14 heroes on the pitch on Wednesday night. They were superb. I am so proud of them. Let's not take from that. They won't be going to South Africa but eventhough they don't know it it is FIFA's loss.
Armchair? You havent a ****ing clue.Quote:

Meant another one or a CL final even. Maybe not though. Maybe he actually thinks we will get a replay. Hope for his sake he doesnt.Quote:

Platini & Blatter are the real cheats, they moved the goal posts by seeding the teams at such a late stage in the competition.
Keane & Duff had 2 clear chances and failed to score, thats what its all about, thats why were not going to South Africa, game over.
The values of FIFA.........rule 1 of Fair play code:
1. Play fair
Winning is without value if victory has been achieved unfairly or dishonestly. Cheating is easy, but brings no pleasure. Playing fair requires courage and character. It is also more satisfying. Fair play always has its reward, even when the game is lost. Playing fair earns respect, while cheating only brings shame. Remember: it is only a game. And games are pointless unless played fairly.
-------------------------------------
I for one am proud of this countrys reaction. Ya we're most unlikely to get a replay but its worth a try. If there was no response/no efforts made, plenty of people here would be complaining as well.
The more I watch the incident the more angry I get, the more painful it is. It is blatant deliberate handball and this constitutes cheating. There is an excellent photo in the time today of Henry running away celebrating and him looking back at the ref, if ever i saw a guilty face........
What happened is a disgrace and this "let it go", "these things happen" attitude is just not good enough. If we dont get a replay, at least some action needs to be taken to stop this happening. This game was too big for a decision like that to go so badly wrong. I for one am deflated, disgusted, depressed after the other night and can only imagine what the players are feeling. Conform, be quiet and take the injustice lying down......am no thanks.
Maybe I should have said high stool!Quote:
