I think this is a disgrace!!! Platini and his gang of rule breakers need to go. Infact a sport as big as football should be treated professionally. WHY IS THERE STILL NO VIDEO TECHNOLOGY WHICH WOULD PROVIDE AN ACCURATE ACCOUNT. Becuase this would exploit situation like Henrys the other night. And thus the french wouldn’t be going. This is the only sport still ruined by corrupt people. Why is this going on, where is our power as the people who pay to watch the sport. WHEN will football move forward from the dark ages. I guess when platini is moved from his pedestal. ITS A JOKE FOOTBALL IS BECOMING A JOKE.

1. FIFA did step in – when they fixed the play-offs with seeding.
2. The linesman, not the referee, had clear sight of the offence.
3. Never a chance of a replay, the result of the game had already been paid for (by Gillette) and FIFA don’t do refunds.
4. When will there be a proper criminal investigation of the way FIFA is run? The “peoples game” is being run by a bunch of crooks, of which, the “people” had no vote in electing. FIFA do not OWN football but they think they do and they behave as if they are untouchable. Blatter hopes to win a Nobel Peace Prize before he retires! Seriously, and given the way he operates, he’ll probably get it!

I agree. Henry should have put his hand up and claimed the handball. Instead he chose his own self-interest over integrity and justice.

Fifa must step in. Ireland was robbed. And in my opinion, thanks to Henry, football has just lost a bit of its soul.

[...] is more successful as a coach than the great Michel Platini, under the guidance of whom France failed to win a single match at Euro [...]

Fifa saying it would “cause chaos for football” if game to be replayed as it would affect everymatch in the future any time officals got a decision wrong….how stupid are they!!!??? Replay that game, get it sorted AND then, what everyone wants bring in video replay for refs so it cant affect the game again (and would mean no claims for futher games to be replayed!!)

I know what you’re saying, anonymous (if that is your real name), but the point is Henry, and all the rest of them, they’re not simply paid to play football, they’re paid to win football matches. Also, that kind of limp wristed technique wouldn’t get him far on a handball court…

Like my granny used to say “Eaten bread is soon forgtten”. We Irish are used to being your lackies and your jesters; despite the football they played last night being of a World standard….
Nah, it’s just dumb too have a dream, to aspire to be better..that is what you are telling me Omar, that we just shouldn’t have bothered turning up because France are such a formidable force in football?

If they are soooo formidable, why were they in playoffs?

And I am aware of the seeding process by FIFA. Worse teams have played than Ireland just because they were hosts.

@ devil_woman
You are an idiot. He cheated. Big fucking deal. As if none of the Irish players would’ve done the same thing if they knew they’d get away with it. That’s why we have referees, if you wanna get mad at someone get mad at him because frankly the ref was the only person there that night that wasn’t doing what’s he gets paid to do. But to be honest, I’m not gonna shed any tears because the Irish didn’t make it to yet another world cup. Oh no, this was really their year, they could have made it all the way to the quarter finals again. Pfffft. No use whining for a team that would have gotten knocked out in the group stages anyways.

When Italy won the world cup over France. Sepp Blatter never showed up to hand the world cup to Italy. That is his main job as the president and he wasn’t there. The uefa presidente had to give the world cup to Italy. When France won the world cup in 1998 Blatter wasn’t even the president yet but there he was all smiles celebrating with France.
