Blatant cheating. And Anelka should have been booked for the dive. Plus the inital offside. Sick.
One time I think swearing is valid on this site.
Robbery...........Belgium 1997 all over again.:mad:
What a performence though! Duff, Kilbane, Andrews, Dunne, Lawrence, Keane.......outstanding. Everybody Outstanding!!! 102 caps Kilbane's best game ever.
Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini got their wish!
Although we should have had it wrapped up after 90 minutes!
I thought with the exception of the French goal the referee was fantastic even if he did look like Dave McKeown:D
yip cheated out of it ...:mad: a magnificent performance by a super team to go to paris and totally outplay france with soccer & pure passion .. but also it kills me to say we still had 3 great chances to finish game off doyle header / duff & keane .. but at the end of the day a performance to make anybody proud to be irish tonight... hope the french get stuffed in world cup now :ball:Quote:

in general, i hope they humiliate themselves, which shouldnt be too hard with that clown in charge.
screw giles and souness. of course he bloody meant it. they get irrate over absolutely minute details regarding other games then fail to get worked up over this
dunphy hit the nail on the head, henry should be ashamed of himself
Henry wasnt even celebrating at the end of the match, looked like he was apologising to Dunne when he sat down beside him at the end
FIFA have got the result they wanted, they are happy now. i hope the ref and his assistants enjoy his ten pieces of silver for tonight. Cheating, there is no other word for it. I have never in my life been this angry. How can you have officials in charge of a game like this, which is the most important game for many of those players lives, and miss an offside and two blatant blatant handballs. Karma is a bitch and i hope you get it in bucket loads Mr Henry. Scem, nothing short of it
Calm down everybody - clearly handball but it happens all of the time and it is gutting that it happened at such a key time in the game
But it happens all of the time - and if it was at the other end we would whooping and talking about professionalism etc
Ireland created nothing in extra-time. We should be watching a penalty shoot-out right now!
I fancied yer man Lloris to do the business in the shoot-out. Fair play to him a fantastic keeper.
And so he should :mad:Quote:

Henry must be ban.
Ireland deserve 10 times more to go in sud africa than France.
So sorry for you.
If Robbie Keane or Kevin Doyle did the same and Ireland went through would ye be complaining.
Mind you after that Henry would make a good corner forward on a Gaelic football team. If he had done much more he would have solo-ed and hopped it. It looked at least a double hand ball.
There could have been an off-side in the build up as well
cheated, one word says it all
Yes agree - we were the better side and the officials missed it and we have every right to feel robbed - but let's drop the cheating so and so and that he is only a scumbag etc etc etc etcQuote:

We had three good chances especially Duff's. But to loose that way is hard to take. Andrews was excellent tonight. My MOM..
Hopefully in the next campaign they can play better and beat the lower teams home and away.
There should be video replay for goals / incidents in these really big games. For this games there was millions and millions of euros at stake...
He is a brilliant keeper alright. I would have much preferred to get whipped in penalties than have that happenQuote:

Robbie was fantastic and proved to any naysayers he's world class. Shame our subs were Gibson and McShane. no offence to the lads but what I wouldve given to see Stephen Reid and Finnan coming on instead....
Bring in a video ref now!!!
thats a load of crap, how does it happen all the time?Quote:

granted wrong decisions over offsides and dives happen all the time, but this is something altogether different. this is akin to maradona against england in 1986.
off course we would not complain if an irish player did the same but i can say 100% ref & linesmen would not have missed 2 players offside and a blatent handball if it was an irish player :mad: so much for our so called " luck of the irish " also mc shane should have attacked ball and cleared it :ball:Quote:

Unlucky lads. Thought your team played very well tonight, should have scored at least 3 inside 90 minutes. You really can't afford to miss chances like the Duff and Keane ones at that level.
Disgusting goal for their goal. Blatant cheating.
You probably deserved it more and were cheated out of it.
Gutted. I am in bits after being cheated from getting to the WC.
However I am proud of my team who were definitely the better side on the night.
Now I have to face a day's work after getting up at 4am for the game - it's gonna be a long day:(
Theft! Cheated. A double hand ball, plus the offside at the time of the free kick. All that was missing was the ref or lino scoring the goal.
Heart breaking.
Small bit of credit - their 'keeper made two saves in Dublin to keep them in the game, and two more tonight. Duff was on target, Lloris pushed Keane very wide....
The fact that he apologised to the irish players afterwards says it all about him. He knew he had cheated us, and that in my mind makes him scum. I won't apologise for saying that.Quote:

This shouldn't take away from an outstanding performance. My MOTM was Sean St.Ledger, he has barely got a word of praise yet and whenever called upon has done brilliantly! Duff,Keane,Lawrence,Andrews,Whelan,Kilbane,Dunne and pretty much all the Irish players done themselves proud tonight!
hold on now maradona in 86 against england is acceptable :D:DQuote:

Robbie Keane was caught FIVE TIMES handling the ball. Henry does it once and the fcuker misses it!
Henry is our Maradonna moment, hopefully his career will take a similar path.
Every Irish man inside that stadium should be proud of themselves. A country a fraction the size of France has outplayed, outfought and outsang them. Proud as fcuk but gutted and sick of moral victories. We were so close to reliving those wonderful past glories at the WC. Words cant desciribe this.....
Shay, Kevin, Richard, Sean, John, Liam, Glenn, Keith, Damien, Robbie, Kevin, Eddie, Paul, Darren, Stephen, Andy, Aiden, Martin, Caleb, Leon and Shane thanks a lot.
You did all you could. Thanks
The game should be replayed. I mean it. It they really want to stamp out cheating then start replaying games if players blatantly cheat. (Especially if that prat Platini won't allow technology to be used).
Performance by us was outstanding. I'm so proud to be Irish. Keane, Andrews, Lawrence, Duffer absolutley brilliant cant ask for anymore. Despite all the dour performances in this campaign we are going to be a serious team in the Euro qualifiiers and I for one cannot wait to get into lansdowne road to roar the boys on again.
CHEATING THIEF HENRY...................OUTRAGEOUS...
IRELAND BY FAR THE BEST TEAM TONIGHT!!! WELL DONE LADS..STILL PROUD TO BE IRISH, EVEN THOUGH THE FRENCH STOLE THE GAME!!!
TOTALLY ROBBED!!!!!! :mad:
