QuoteOh no, not another two legger.
On behalf of the Republic of Ireland players, I would like to thank Thierry Henry for his statement this afternoon (Friday) that in his opinion a replay would be the fairest option.
As captain of the French team, to make such a statement took courage and honour, and all of us recognise that. As captain of the Republic of Ireland team, I would also be happy for a replay to happen in the interest of fair play so that whichever team qualifies, can do so with their heads held high. We can only hope that the French Football Federation might accept the wishes of both captains in the best interests of the game.
This could have legs.

I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

despite the fact that i think we need to move on, i gotta say - well played Robbie
Yeah statement is spot on, although I do not think we will get a replay but its well drafted statement I must say.
In Trap we trust
It still won't happen..........but that's a really clever move by Robbie..making it seem like a joint campaign by both captains..

"No a normal kit-kat you fat bitch"
As long as no other limbs are involved!
"Can I have a Kit-Kat, chunky?"
"you mean a big one"
"No a normal kit-kat you fat bitch"
Well chosen words, puts the pressure on the French FA
It will happen...Believe!
God bless your....Im guessing hereyouthful optimism

I think the more legs it grows the better. Good little statement from Robbie. F the knockers and put weight behind it.
99% of Ireland, 88% of the french it seems, most of Europe, even the Brits feel we have been hard done by. It just might work. Impossible is nothing ...... if the will is there.
Exactly Emmet. If enough respected French people come out and say that it should be replayed they may just bow to public pressure. You just never know.

Excellent move from Mr Keane. Kept to the point and puts pressure on the FFF. And the longer FIFA drag their feet on handing out any punishments the better for our albeit slim, slim chances of any replay.

Wouldn't a replay set the score to 1-0 again to the French and mean we have a very difficult mountain to climb all over again even though the goal ruined our chances when we already had climbed that mountain?
I accept that's better than no hope at all but we would need another immense Irish performance.
I think thats the main reason I would want to see a replay. would love to see if this Ireland team has grown in confidance after the game on wednesday. Could they put back to back performances in? I think thats a big frustration of getting knocked out. will momentum be lost come Winter 2010.
I think it would be a one off match at 0-0 like Leeds / Stuttgart play-off in 1992I think thats the main reason I would want to see a replay. would love to see if this Ireland team has grown in confidance after the game on wednesday.

LOL 'even the brits' they're the most likely to give a **** but by tommorow when their clubs are back playing they will have forgot all about it. The faith of the Irish international team is not on the top list of priorities for 99.99 of the football fans worldwide.
after this weekend when leagues around europe are back the incident will be forgotten and football fans will be grateful that henry ribery and co will be playing on the grandest stage of them all
this story was featured again on Canadian news and radio today. Also subject of heated debate on the score network.
Like it or not lads, this is a major story and it is more than just the Irish who are disgusted..
not since kernaghan retired anyways.....
