December 7 - a "date that will live in infamy". Wonder should now be changed to November 18?
Good to see Fair Play is not dead in football. If only France and FIFA could learn from this

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I was at a game last season in the FA Cup between Chesterfield and Droylsden in the FA Cup. After an injury to a Droylsden player (I seem to remember as I was a bit away at the opposite end) Jack Lester the Chesterfield striker booted the ball back to the Droylsden keeper. However the ball looped over the keeper and into the net and the goal stood. Queue an on pitch melee which took some time to sort out. Droylsden kicked off and Chesterfield allowed them to walk through to score an equaliser.Originally Posted by carloz
Can't get Youtube at work but you'll find it on there. Droylsden won the replay as far as I remember to set up a 3rd round tie with Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
Another good example was last year in the FA Cup when Forest were beating Leicester 1-0. Clive Clarke had a heart attack and the match was abandoned.
Then in the replay Leicester allowed Forest keeper Paul Smith run through unchallenged from he kick-off to give them their 1-0 lead back.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Ian Harte used to do that too.
run the pitch and score or let peole go past him like he wasnt trying?
Martin Hansson's resigned...

Read that yesterday. Got sick to my stomach thinking about it.
See the thread bumped today. Got sick to my stomach again.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Not before time...the resignation, that is. Clown.
We should have a whip round for a leaving gift for him, a pair of golden spectacles perhaps?
These look ideal:-
Hansson was unsighted. its the wimp of a linesman that I blame.
saw a documentary on Hansen a couple of years ago and after seeing how commited he was I actually feel sorry for him.
Irish friend of mine was living in Paris at the time, and had a ticket seated a few rows behind the linesman. To this day he swears he could see the handball clearly from his seat, and the French fans around him started apologising when the goal was given.
To those blaming the ref and linesman; do you suspect they conspired to deprive us of a World Cup place by ignoring a hand-ball they had just witnessed, or do you suspect thhey weren't focused on the game as they should have been? I put the calamity down to human error, or human limitation even, and primarily blame, not the unsighted ref or linesman in possession of a mere two eyes, but FIFA for a lack of assistance provided to counteract the potential occurrence of such error.

All-round idiocy I reckon. But 'ancient history' now...
I think he was a decent referee but i guess he will always be remembered for this game!
Henry was pretty decent. Will he always be remebered for this game? From the Irish footballing puclic certainly but from those others around the globe?
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

henrys career was far longer than hansons though.
to be fair i think henry will always be remembered to some extent for what happened that night by all football followers who are aware of him
Yeah, it was tongue in cheek really. A fabulous fabulous player but when his career obituary is written, for all the paragraphs on his achievements and moments of brilliance, the last sentence will more than likley be regarding Paris 2009......

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Great video ^^^,still hurts to this day.
