Hand of God 2: Thierry Henry est un dirty cheat avec un shattered reputation
Thierry Henry, of all people, just committed the most blatant act of World Cup-related cheating since Maradona’s Hand of God – Henry used his hand, twice (!) to assist William Gallas’s crucial goal which shattered Ireland’s hopes of qualifying for South Africa.
Judging by the heated reaction on Twitter, it seems Henry should ready himself for a ‘merdestorm’ of quite epic proportions – he won’t hear the end of this for a very, VERY long time. And quite right too – it was a shameful thing to do.
Some sample Tweets:
“Oh, Thierry. For shame.”
“Oh. My. God. Terry Henry hang your head in shame.”
“Dirty f**king cheating bastard Henry.”
“Thierry Henry is being crucified by TalkSport radio commentators right now”
“Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has gone from sporting hero and football genius to cheat in an instant. He knew what he was doing. So poor”
“Outrage. Thierry Henry has cheated Ireland, handling twice as Gallas scored. Disgrace. There’ll be calls for a replay…”
“One team can walk off the pitch at Stade de France with their heads held high. And it won’t be Les Bleus.”
Couldn’t agree more. Ireland were robbed – definitely the better team over two legs, imho.
Va va voom? Va va c**t more like.
Can’t believe Henry had the gall to go on a lap of honour – there’s no honour in what he did.
More reaction to follow…
Any foward would have done that if they were clever enough to think that fast.
Like someone else said, he doesn’t give a crap, he cheated. So what?
He’s in the world cut and ireland arnt.
I’m not usually like this but I hope Henry shatters his cruciate and achilles the week before the world cup, that cheat deserves it.
Fifa & Ufea are elitist cheats, World Cup………? I think not!!! it should be called the perferential cup. Go on Solvenia I hope you win the competition. “Fair Play” “No victory without Honour” etc etc etc yeah right!!!!
There would have been no complaints if it was Robbie Keane who did it. We want to see stars at the world cup like Gourcuff, Benzema, Ribery and Nasri not shit kickers like Keane, Dunne, Kilbane and Duff!
they looked really good last night did’nt they, hold on 3 of them wer’nt on the pitch ya fucking twat!!!
you’re so right KC: “fair play” my ass and oskar is a twat!
Nope but they will be for the world cup. I wouldn’t pay to see any of see any of the irish players and that’s how everyone outside of ireland and uk feels… deal with it!
As Drogba would say, “f**king disgrace”…
oh yeah like you speak for the rest of the world you arrogant dope! I hope they get Algeria so they can beat them out of Africa again…
Thank you reece
I agree with Oskar. KC is an unrealistic twat living in a fantasy land where the Irish can use magic to get out of the World Cup group stages. Too bad they can’t and they’d just end up minnow fodder for the rest of the teams in South Africa while the French would actually be, dare I say, bearable to watch play. So keep smoking whatever it is you’re smoking KC, it must be some good stuff.
Surely this game has to be replayed, there is too much at stake for it just to be brushed off.
FAX number for FIFA! +41-43-222 7878
We all know that if it happened up the other end that Platini would already have the rules changed and a replay organised!
But I would like to point out that anyone that can read French will see that respect to the French people for their reaction of disgust to Henry’s actions, so for the people that France I hope that they go on to do well in the World Cup! I had a look at this link below that has some good football related Facebook Statuses for the World Cup in its Facebook Status Generator:

Fair Play must shine through and FIFA have got a big message to send out now by banning Henry from the World Cup!
“Oh we want to see the big stars”, giving Fifa the license to screw over all the small teams, sure football isn’t a sport at all it’s entertainment. What’s the point of playoffs at all if the results are pre-ordained
Henry A cheat – we were prevented from going to the World Cup – if the shoe was on the other foot FIFA would insist a rematch for the French….
Fair play my arse
Omar, the french are not “bearable to watch play”. They’ve been playing like S#!7 since Zidane retirement. The irish outplayed them and deserved to go through. Now, les bleus will probably go home after 3 crappy games, just like in 2002
