Nothing to do with this case again. That was an ineligible player/illegal contract scenario. This is a ref making a mistake, which is covered under the rules of the game.

Are you French?
Whose side are you on here?
If FIFA said in the morning they were replaying the game I have a feeling you would lobby them not to have it played.
I repeat Ireland were denied a sporting chance. From what I remember of Zola Budd the athlete who tripped her was disqualified.
Still think there shouldn't be a replay?
Its a court case in relation to cheating.
I would find more honest to replay this match.
A French supporter.
Remember when Arsenal agreed to replay with Sheff United ?

No, in relation to illegal contracts. The rules of the game are quite clear in relation to last night's incident.
Sorry for being right.
FFS.
Because you say you are right doesn't make you right I'm afraid.No, in relation to illegal contracts. The rules of the game are quite clear in relation to last night's incident.

You clearly don't understand the concept of someone in sport gaining an unfair advantage or in this example a clear case of a performance enhancement.
Handling the ball gives that player that extra edge over other players. Handling the ball is not within the rules. Players have been suspended for things referees did not see, such as with Robert Huth. Should Huth have been allowed get away with that punch because the ref didn't see it?
Your argument hasn't a leg to stand on.

haha dont you know you have to be pig ignorant when your country is involved and forget whats corret and whats not stu, its the rules of this board
Emmet7, drop the "are you french" crap. Reason it out or be quiet.
stu, although I can understand your frustration, you know well to ignore that kind of "commentary".
So give Henry a one-match ban.
Do you see the difference between that and replaying a whole match?
Do you want to reply to any of my other previous "Do you see the difference" questions aimed at you?
The rules of the game are clear in relation to deliberate handball.
And they're clear in relation to referee errors.
It not really a referee error, the ref could not have seen it. It was a very deliberate handball and done in a way that nobody could see it.
The FFF should be offering to replay the game, simple as that.
I'm not sure what the ref saw. After all he did motion to Shay that the ball hit Henry's side. If that's the case, he is lying. He did not motion to Shay that he did not see it.
And even if he didn't see it, why wasn't the two offsides called? Or the fact that Squalachi pulled Dunne's shirt?

The whole Henry affair is getting totally out of hand. Ireland should have had the game wrapped up in full time if Doyle, Duff or Keane took one their gilt-edged chances. They only have themselves to blame, same old hard luck story from the brave Irish. Fair enough Henry clearly handled the ball twice. The referee and assistants missed it. But these things happen in football, just have to roll with the punches, referees make mistakes. Perhaps it's karma with Ireland getting out of jail on a couple of occasions during the qualifying campaign with generous refereeing decisions (eg Jouni Hyytia awarding Ireland a penalty for a "dubious at best" handball against Georgia). How many Irish were crying foul then?! The FAI and Dermot Ahern (trying to score some cheap political points) are making asses of themselves. It is a good argument for video tech or to follow the Europa League example who have an extra assistant behind the goal to prevent it happening again. But nothing more will come of this affair. Its time to just accept it even though it's a bitter pill to swallow. These things happen in football, let sleeping dogs lie.
Just heard on RTE there that Cowen has asked FIFA for a replay and he's going to bring it up with Sarkozy at an upcoming summit. What an idiot.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Shame Cowen cant get worked up about sorting out dodgy bankers and property developers.Just heard on RTE there that Cowen has asked FIFA for a replay and he's going to bring it up with Sarkozy at an upcoming summit. What an idiot
It just brings the game into disrepute when a team qualifys through blatent cheating, the FIFA should not let it happen, nor should the French team, it makes a mockery of the competition, and it makes the trophy worthless.
He'll probably offer him a pig as a bribe.Just heard on RTE there that Cowen has asked FIFA for a replay and he's going to bring it up with Sarkozy at an upcoming summit. What an idiot
