Huh??
Between Wenger and Roy's bitter rant it's no wonder it gained legs.
I see the Georgian in the box, moved his upper arm to stop or deflect the ball, that's a penalty. harsh because the movement was slight and the defender didn't need to do it, but it's a penalty nonetheless.
No handball (that I've heard of) but the French get out of jail yet again in a Parisien play off. Infuriating. Hope they're in entertaining in-fighting mode next summer
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Eh, I'm not holding a grudge against the French forever and a day. The team that beat us got their comeuppence with that humiliating show in South Africa.

C'mon, you don't really think I believe in cosmic karma, do you?...
Just the solitary off-side this time round... Benzema was a good metre off-side before scoring France's tie equaliser.
what about the silly buggers our national tv station RTE who could not even secure any rights to show the Irish soccer team in action
" football is a simple game "
I don't know what cosmic karma is about but karma is a fact of existence, effect from cause defines science, though your interpretation of what karma is about ...is suspect
Haha, I deleted that post because it was in the wrong thread, but also because I got it wrong. RTE did report from Poznan with Tony O'Donoghue, who reported Ireland had been excellent and that both sides were really up for the contest, which is not quite true as we've learned.
Are you in the twittering class or the chattering class?
This was the French goal that should have been ruled off-side:
Maybe, although don't interpretations as to the cause(s) of the effects vary? I believe in natural causality. However, I don't subscribe to the notion that some moral, spiritual or supernatural (cosmic) hand might play some sort of role in dispensing good fruits or bad fruits to those alleged to be deserving of them. Sure, both events occurred in time in the physical world, but the Georgian penalty incident wasn't the cause of Henry's hand-ball in any sense so significant that should see us derive some meaningful relationship from between the two, as if the latter was pay-back from the heavens for the former. Perhaps my description wasn't the most apt, but read "cosmic karma" as "theistic karma" if necessary.I don't know what cosmic karma is about but karma is a fact of existence, effect from cause defines science, though your interpretation of what karma is about ...is suspect
Loosen up. It was a (seemingly-failed) poetic attempt of describing the passing on of modern-day gossip and rumour. Poetic licence and all that... You shouldn't take everything I write so seriously just because of that irresistible urge to nitpick.
Ha ha, now that is 'bad' karma you've brought on yerself, Danny...
Some people
And does this mean Georgia will receive some luck at the French's expense? I hope so.
My God that's a blatant offside. The French do it again
Folding my way into the big money!!!
Mon dieu! Ukraine to petition for 33rd team etc.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Really?
Just enjoy it when they crash out.
No, no, I'm grateful, for I've learned through dialogue and curiosity that the original and strictest meaning of the word actually refers to the action or deed that is attributed with bringing some result, rather than to the fruits or consequences of such acts, as is popularly assumed in the West and as was ignorantly assumed by myself. That's good vipaka!
Did France have a legal goal ruled out before the offside goal was allowed?
If so, then instant karma got the Ukrainians.
France concede a handball goal against the Netherlands. Still bitter.
Finally some closure.
