Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
None of this changes anything. We're out. And we have to move one.
We were robbed, by a player no one would ever have thought would have done it. But we all need to move on. No one will change it. France go to the World Cup. We have to move on to the thread about the Euro's, and supporting whoever those cheating f*cks get in the World Cup. I don't care if its England. F*ck the French.
Lets get the Euro thread going. Lets hope we get the French.
Of course only Top Top players make tha grade at liverpool. Which explains their current predicament. You need to go back to school mate. Idiotic post.
Keane is a top striker. How many goals in how many internationals? Oh and by the way who was our top scorer this campaign?
"Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
"Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.
the stakes are too high for this crap to happen..
Henry is a cheat. A talented footballer but now also a flawed footballer who dives, simulates, looks for penalties that aren't there. He personifies the win at all costs attitude, an ugly attitude that permeates the top level of every sport.
We really shouldn't have expected less.
Evra tried to cheat in Croker with the worst attempt to decieve a referee I have ever seen. Anelka also tried it tonight by diving in the box.
Bunch of cheats.
First cheated by FIFA with the seedings, now cheated again by Thierry Henry.
A victory for cheats everywhere and a licence to cheat to win matches.
From wikipedia "His footballing style and personality have ensured that he is one of the most commercially marketable footballers in the world, he has been featured in advertisements for Nike, Reebok, Renault, Pepsi and Gillette."
Well I hope a few of his sponsers from him now, although I doubt he will starve because of that somehow.
Just going to throw my opinion in here, didn't read all of the thread so dont know what has been said already.
After watching the match tonight I can safely say I am proud to be Irish, they gave it everything tonight out there on the pitch - genuinly I could not have asked for any more effort from each of those players. The fans sounded fantastic too on the telly, looks like a big group made their way over to support the lads, so fair play to them also. But our lads played with their hearts on their sleeves, gave it 100% till the very end, played above my expectations anyway, also we played fair. A true Irish performance in my eyes. Despite us not progressing, there are plenty of positives to take from that performance, none more so than the fact we wanted it so badly and down to that alone we matched (even bettered) the French tonight, a country with a list as long as my arm full of top class players.
So fair play boys.
On the Henry handball, obviously no Irish person can be happy about it and I'm no different. But I am not going to hold it against Henry, at the end of the day though he is his national sides captain, anyone who has played sport before I'm sure has said to themselves before a big match "I would do anything to win tonight", and I doubt Henry is any different, only difference being he actually did do that "anything" with his handball. Im not for cheating by any means, I fully believe every game should be played in fair play, but when it comes down to such a big game with such a big prize for winning, it does come to the stage where anything should be done to win, I know I for one would have done the same given the chance and a lot of other people probably would too.
Cmon County!
Gutted but very proud of the boys. The first touch by Henry, you could almost understand as it is an instinctive thing to do but the second was pure criminal. Here's to the future, The boys in green are back. All we need to do now is build a stronger panel. We need to believe in ourselves more. We should be in South Africa, and perhaps if we had of went for it more in Montenegro+Bulgaria and wee bit more luck here and there, we would be, Cestlavie! Bring on the Euro's
Call me cynical but there is not a snowballs chance in hell that that we would have gotten that decision against France.And if an Irish player had handballed in exactly the same way, or dived and earned a penalty, would we be condemning them at the moment? No, we'd accept it was wrong, and that the player deserved criticism, but the player just got us to the World Cup, so we really wouldn't be all that bothered.
It was bad taste but understandable giving the circumstances, calling for a life ban is a tad bit ott.
Football is a cheating game lads, Keane tried deliberate handballs a couple of times in that match alone. We also laugh at the Hand of God cause it happened to England, Liverpool fans don't care that Gerrard dives, United fans didn't about Ronaldo, christ if Jason Hughes and Stephen O'Flynn did what Henry and Gallas did tonight to get Limerick FC promoted I'd dance a jig.
Summary: Get over it

Also all this 'I thought Henry was a gentlemen' people must have missed his diving against Spain (last Euros or World Cup, think it was World Cup) and a few of his tumbles for Barcelona and Arsenal
