Big stir up here over Henry's handball! A lot of people agree that Eire deserved to win and it was Henry doing a "Maradonna" which beat the Irish team and not the french football team. There are calls here for 5 refs, Main field, 2 on the line and one behind each goal. Others call for a video replay in case of a discutable decision. What ever happens the FIFA will not go back on the decision. The match has been played . The referee made two bad calls; Henry and another french player were off-side and the handball. He might have missed the handball, but where was his line referee?

I wanted the Irish to win,... I do have to say though, as naughty as it was, he didnt score after handballing it, he just kept it in play to be able to cross the ball..there were still defenders and a goalie to do something about it.....

If it was me I would make them play another 15mins of football and if it is still a draw finish it with a fight between Henry and Keane
Sounds about right to me ... I bet they'd put it on pay per view though

Ok, whats the betting that FIFA bring in something new at the WC after this?
They aint going to jump straight into video tech but maybe the linesman behind the goal, like in the Europa?
Your mate Justin will corrupt you TW, he's a bad, bad man

Roy Keane has issued a typically bullish retort to those who feel Republic of Ireland deserve a replay following their controversial World Cup play-off defeat to France.
Fifa have ruled against the Football Association of Ireland's appeal to have Wednesday's second leg in Paris replayed on the grounds France's equaliser on the night, which sent them through 2-1 on aggregate, came via a clear handball from Thierry Henry before he set up William Gallas.Keane, never a man to mince his words, has precious little sympathy as feels Ireland have only themselves to blame for missed opportunities over the two games. The FAI, and in particular chief executive John Delaney, remain personae non gratae in Keane's eyes."I've been amazed by the commotion over the past few days. I think of course Henry handled it but I'd focus on why they didn't clear it," Keane told Sky Sports News."I'd be more annoyed with my goalkeeper and defenders than Thierry Henry. How can you let a ball bounce in the six yard box? How can you let Henry get goal-side of you? If the ball bounces in the six yard bounce I'd be saying 'where the hell is my goalkeeper?'"Asked whether he had sympathy for Ireland's players he said: "No. Not one bit. "You look over the course of the campaign and Ireland had the chances of over the two games, they never took them. "They never performed in the first game. I heard a few interviews after the game where the manager said that none of the players got booked. Maybe that was the problem. They stood off France, the second leg we had opportunities to score but didn't take them."They weren't mentally strong enough. All these players can complain all they want. France are going to the World Cup - get over it."Run-ins
Keane, who throughout his playing days with the national side had numerous run-ins with the FAI, has been forthright again in his criticism of the organisation."Usual FAI reaction: 'we've been robbed, the honesty of the game...'"In one of the earlier group games, I think it was against Georgia, Ireland got a penalty. It was one of the worst decisions I have ever seen. It changed the course of the game. Robbie (Keane) scored a penalty and Ireland went on to win it. I don't remember the FAI after the game saying 'I think we should give them a replay'."Keane continued his withered tirade by pinpointing FAI chief Delaney as being a figure who deserves only disdain. The Ipswich boss fell out with Delaney after he decided to quit Ireland's World Cup campaign in 2002 following a bust-up with then manager Mick McCarthy."John Delaney? He's on about honesty and integrity. I wouldn't take any notice of that man."People forget the last time I was at the World Cup in 2002. People seem to forget what was going on at that World Cup. I was one of the players, he didn't have the courtesy to ring me. He got interviewed and all he said was 'I don't know where he is'."I'd been with Ireland since I was 15 years of age and that man didn't even have the decency to ring me. He could have phoned me, tried the hotel room. Honesty
"And he's on about the honesty of the game."The failure of the match officials to spot Henry's handball has led to renewed calls for video technology to be introduced but while agreeing with the idea in principle, Keane is loath to join those campaigning for a replay."They should have cleared it, they should have cleared the ball. Where were the defenders? The ball bounced in the six-yard box."We've had this discussion before, we all agree with that. There is no getting away from it, but this idea that Ireland were robbed and deserved a replay, no."I think the Irish supporters probably deserve better, the manager, probably most of the players deserve it."But I don't think the FAI deserve better. What goes around comes around."Keane concluded by offering his support to Henry, with the outspoken Irishman of the opinion there are far worse perpetrators of cheating in the game than the Frenchman."I think it was instinctive. I think sometimes you go for the ball, stick your hand out, leg, whatever it might be. Would I call him a cheat? No, I don't think so. I think he bent the rules but we are seeing cheating in games all the time, players diving."When I'm asked about it, I say the game is full of it."
