I am setting up a petition to get people to stop setting up petitions.
No harm to let them know how we feel but unfortunately cant see any significant result out of this. The only good is that the european media at large seem to be displaying FIFA in a poor light along with their 'seeding/rigging' of the playoff draw. Im sure they wont be too keen on the exposure all of this is getting, but naturally enough it will all settle in a few days. And while we'll be left hurting the rest of the world will have moved on.
Imagine if they did permit a replay, it would set a nasty precedent from their own point of view. The only way I can see it happening is if the FFF offer the replay.
if i was FFF i'd say yes we will play a replay in a smaller venue in france and just knock out the irish by scoring a few goals and settling it.
I would actually be worried if FIFA did allow a replay. At the moment there is a simple black and white rule, there are never replays for judgement calls/missed incidents. Once you break this then the decision is a subjective one after the event. If you give a replay for this then where do you draw the line.
On the other hand I thin the FFF should offer a replay.
it would be a win win situation for them. the french players will want it over with and ireland won't have the same raw emotion they had yesterday night. play it in the stade louis in monaco behind closed doors.
On an aside France were awful, a lot of the apologetic tone from the french media is really based on their hatred of Domenech.
Does anyone think they'll ditch him before the tournament itself?
The French press have being prophetising his demise for a long, long time. Every campaign they promise this is the one.
Comes under the UEFA organisation, but France are a candidate nation for Euro 2016.

What happens in these circumstances is a quiet word and FFF show the appropiate remorse. But at the moment FFF and FIFA owe the FAI a favour.
Several months after 'Toni' Schumacher went through Battiston in Espana '82 (it could have been Stapo). West Germany played a Friendly in Metz against France. Schumacher went out to warm up TWO hours before kick-off and he says that a lot of missiles rained down on him during that time. But when the match began most of the crowd had vented their anger and he didn't get as much abuse. Although he says a French player stood on his hand and it hurt him.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Sent a message myself last night and I asked that FIFA, the FFF and Thierry Henry come out and apologise to the people of Ireland for what happened. The message probably most likely ended in the Deleted or Junk Mail part of the message board.
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
ill be giving france my support as i will give england 2018 support for world cup. both easy to get to.
just joined their (fifa's) "club", their poor excuse for a forum to post the following:
"fifa isn't suppressing these anti-henry comments? i'm surprised. no mention in their match report of the biggest turning point in the game. i don't want the game replayed, only the introduction of video technology to stop the game from descending further into farce."
the message is being prevented from being posted because it appears to contain 'profanities'. clicking on their web-help for this section provides you with a comment/question form which, after being submitted returns
'system currently not available.'
it's like a soviet propoganda operation over there...
zombie/thread killer..
Sent about 5emails to each dept, then they stopped accepting them, fifa fair play my h*le
Stan "were always good in march"
Done my bit!
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
would it not also make sense to contact french football federation and see if they would do the decent thing and offer a replay

Message sent here for what it's worth also.
Anyone now any more about this?
I heard about this on the Adrian Kennedy phoneshow and I can only say my estimation of certain sections of Irish society went down a little bit more. I mean I know we are an inbred nation but theres no exuse for the idiocy that I heard tonight.
Was really nauseating. The illusions of grandear amongst the Irish population is unbelievable. They actually think they will be missed in South Africa because we have the 'best fans in the world'
I will be on my lunch break from school at that time near the french embassy and i will laugh but also hope that the french media don't take note of it.
embarrassing. Time to move on.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
