The Match DO NOT START OTHER MATCH THREADS

TheZohanS · 19-11-2009 2:47am #1

Folks you can post away in this thread, and this thread alone, about tonights match.

Charter Rules apply and a breach of these will lead to a ban.

We're all gutted over the result but lets keep it civil, no racism and no threats of voilence.

Petition to get FIFA to review the match.

Facebook Group for FIFA to sanction replay.

france were awesome

Jet Black · 19-11-2009 2:51am

Well done to the Irish lads, they did us proud.

grenache · 19-11-2009 2:51am

If Henry had any honesty or integrity about him, he would have done a Di Canio on it and admitted to the ref that he handled it. Retrospective decisions need to be introduced, one look at the replay on the big screen and the ref could have seen it was a clear hand ball. It would have taken a matter of seconds.

Mrmoe · 19-11-2009 2:53am

I hope Henry is banned and does not go to the world cup. I think that could be the only just outcome of this now. FIFA have it in their power, now lets see if they have the balls to do something about it.

YES! An online petition will get the result of the match changed. Why didn't I think of that?:rolleyes:

Fair enough.

livindadream · 19-11-2009 2:57am

as horrible as it was to see henry celebrate like that after the handball goal... its the ref and linesmen that annoyed me!! if there ever was a time to introduce video reffiing in footy this has to be it.

cant help but notice how FIFA are editing their site to not have any mention of this handball....

Petitions wont do anything: Come on. Its Populism. IF every country did it it would be a matter of Majority Rules and etc. etc.

Im sure Irish officials will exhaust every normal channel and every FIFA by-law to see if anything can be done, but dont put your hope in an online petition: They rarely (if ever?) work.

Can you explain how France were trying to lose that match?? Just because a team play bad this means they're trying to lose??

I, too, am proud of the team, thought they were brilliant tonight.

rizzee · 19-11-2009 3:01am

j1smithy - get back on your boat will yah

Great effort tonight lads

Overheal · 19-11-2009 3:02am

Bloody hell this threads been open 10 minutes and not one sorry Tag :mad:

No pun intended! Honestly. /edit

brendansmith · 19-11-2009 3:04am

I am not entirely sure how it works but is there no way there could be a rematch?

What is the most likely thing to happen now?

Wait 'til next year and watch the French lose out in the group stages.

zuroph · 19-11-2009 3:05am

now that we have a thread we're allowed post in, its no fun.

Prof.Badass · 19-11-2009 3:06am

This is why they should bring in video refs for goals.

The most annoying thing of it all was that the irish lads stopped playing and threw up their hands to signal a handball, all the while a goal was being scored. Imagine if it was their faith in the system that allowed for the goal (which seemed possible to me when i looked at the replays). A system which then completely betrayed their trust mere seconds later.

What I'd like to see is a personal apology from the cheater himself.

Fizman · 19-11-2009 3:07am

Wish I had a French girlfriend to take my frustration out on! :pac:

davey boy · 19-11-2009 3:07am

Proud of the way they played. Cant see the French going too far in the world cup though.

Maybe olympic handball.

Well, I honestly dont know. Henry even acknowledges the Hand Ball.

apparently when Henry spoke to the ref about it the ref responded "You're not the Ref."

:eek:

He tries to condone it which rubs salt into the wounds.

Just read fifas 'report' of the match. (http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1136804.html#gallas+breaks+irish+hearts) Apparently they missed the whole thing.

Overheal · 19-11-2009 3:21am

Thats disgusting.

Can we have that labeled NSFW?

My hoover is gonna get a kicking tomorrow.

Senna · 19-11-2009 3:28am

very pissed off after the match, but now we just have to accept it. these things happen week in, week out in some league somewhere. Thats the game and had Ireland got the goal instead, we'd probably admit its a crap way to get into the WC, but we'd be already planning on which pub to watch the group stage matches in.
The performance did the nation proud and it should spur on the team for the Poland 2012 qualifiers.
Come on Ireland!!!!!

I cant believe they actually said the Irish will be kicking themselves!!!:mad::mad: Should be kicking Henry!

Happynappy · 19-11-2009 3:35am

Fcuk off, cheating scumbag , hope he dies of the clap

Moomoo1 · 19-11-2009 3:37am

really feel for the officials here... no way they could have spotted it. I needed several replays to see it myself.

Ye and a blatant handball/cheating is now a stroke of luck. You could call anelkas goal lucky, but what happened tonight, i don't think so.
Proud of the Irish lads though, couldn't have asked more of them.

davey boy · 19-11-2009 3:39am

Heard the the headline in tomorrows mirror will be "hand of frog crushes ireland"

x in the city · 19-11-2009 3:43am

Its ****ing galling to lose to such rubbish team as France, especially when the goal should have been disallowed under 3 counts.

The stupid jerks of supporters, hissing and whistling at their president, and all the team and then near the end waving flags.

France were rubbish for most all of the campaign and now they somehow have sneaked into the finals

Moomoo1 · 19-11-2009 3:46am

come on guys, you never expected a world cup without France or Portugal, did you? I am not sure FIFA would have wanted to contemplated such a possibility, if you know what I mean.

EDIT and I know I am contradicting my previous post. I am bitter though.
