I found the one of him in a kerry jersey in the indo particularly disconcerting. very funny on some levels, disturbing on others.
I don't think picking the kingdom for that was an accident :O

See how you get on as Henry tring to "score" against us
http://www.jeu-de-main.com/
If we do get a replay, it has to start 0-0 at a neutral venue, that would be the fairest given that we scored a perfectly legitimate goal.
Penalties at the end of the 90 minutes.
Whatever about a replay, I'd like to see FIFA administer some form of discipline on Henry.
He cheated, he's admitted he cheated, and now they can't let him get away with it
No to a replay. 1-0 from the moment the handball took place with 16 minutes left. 1 minute, then break then 15 minutes. And if it stays that way, penalties. You'll never get another victory straight away in Paris again. Law of averages against it.
That's another option. One-off game at Fulham. :D No. Serious. It's one rule. One for another. As far back as the 80s, UEFA made Celtic replay the game after a coin hit the head of a player. Total inconsistency.Quote:

Its just the PR machine in full flow. Players dont think for themselves in circumstances like this. FIFA, UEFA, FFF, Henrys Representative, Hansson all on a Teleconference deciding the contents of the various statements and what order they go out in. Thats whats happening.
Its a travesty but the Best Team lost in this instance and unfortunately in this instance that has happened to us.
Yeah but France will be a top seed and we'd only be in pot 3. They'd have to sort that out - that wasn't problem with Denmark/Yugoslavia as far as I'm aware.Quote:

in this game i handled the ball but i admitted it straight awayQuote:

What? This statement by Henry has further lowered my opinion of him and I'm insulted that he expects us to swallow that crap. I'm sorry bur if you believe his PR bullsh*t then you are extremely naive.Quote:

What they should be doing is pushing for video technology to be used with the current furore that has been caused
I have a feeling there will only be a replay if Adidas agrees, such is the way international soccer under FIFA has gone.
It's the sponsors who are calling the shots.
I'd say Adidas said to FIFA a couple months ago, "get us France and Germany in the World Cup, we don't care how you do it, just do it."
Soccer is no longer for the little man or woman, it's all about big corporate interests now and FIFA is central to that.
If we were to win it we'd deserve to be top seeds, they could play it any champions league free week coming up, give options to cancel the relevant league games, ie Utd could probably do without Gibson and O'Shea but Hull would probably want a cancellation.Quote:

He only said it after a replay had been ruled out, to save his image, you people who are saying fair play to him have just been fooled by him, he is a fake, he said nothing untill a replay was ruled out.
UEFA were quick to ban Eduardo for similar.Quote:

Wenger also keen on a replay:
Henry admitted on Friday that a replay would be “the fairest solution” and his old boss agreed when the question was posed at Wenger’s pre-match press conference.
“I feel so, yes,” said the Frenchman.
“I don’t know [if it is likely], it’s not my problem, I can only give you my feeling. We want to beat Ireland properly and that didn’t happen. It’s as simple as that. At the end of the day you can talk and talk and talk, or you make a decision to replay or not replay.
Hopefully he'll get some sort of a ban, I reckon Robbie Keane might get a sanction as well for his conspiracy comments.Quote:

Henry on the other hand (intended) can't justify dribbling the ball to gallas, and therefore should be sanctioned some how, hopefully with a ban rather than a financial sanction that would only be a nominal fee anyway to a well paid footballer.
At the end of the day it's probably the FIFA accountants who will decide if there is a replay.
More revenue from France being at the world cup than Ireland, more TV money, more jerseys sold etc etc.
I still don't know why Trap didn't take the players off the field straight after the French goal, he would have been fully justified on the grounds he didn't want a part of the farce.
I think it was more to do with the case that Arsenal were building, they had hours of footage of similar situations and it would have made a mockery of the Eduardo ban if they were not going to ban every player that had taken a dive.Quote:

And as for Wenger wanting a replay, sure he has to say that or feel the wrath of Brady
Henry wont be charged. Not a hope.
He admitted he handballed it but said it wasnt intentional.
Like the Eduardo case it has to be proven that Henry intentionally used his hand, and that is downright impossible.
Cantona is a moron. That interview a few months back in fourfourtwo made it obvious to anyone who didnt know. I would feel better if he wasnt on our side.
He's like Roy Keane, he just talks.
I agree with him, it was Henry's apres match activities that got to me.
we have a go at keane for not backing us up and now a go at cantona for backing us up.......just about sums it upQuote:

Both of them said what they said to be different. If the situation were reversed they would switch opinions. Like politicians is all im saying. Meaningless words.Quote:

Time to think of the Euro's now and tweak the team just slightly. no one will want us to be the third seeds in their group.
