Thierry Henry (Sunday World)

In_tuition · 22-11-2009 4:38pm #1

Henry was confronted by the Sunday World outside his home in Barcelona :eek:

They wanted him to sign the poster which said:

'I Thierry Henry apologise to the Irish people for using my hand to knock them out of the World Cup finals'

Think they had 'signed by' then underneath.

They were unsuccessful.

He drives an Audi :eek:

Thats embarrassing.

flahavaj · 22-11-2009 4:43pm

Tabloid in peurile publicity stunt shocker.:rolleyes:

Dimitri · 22-11-2009 4:43pm

pft thats bloody shameful, typical tabloids. I was as upset as the next person at what happened but at the end of the day a committed player is going to do almost anything they think they are going to get away with to put their team into the world cup, its up to the ref to stop it. Specsavers could use it as their new ad for the linesman though:D

SlickRic · 22-11-2009 4:44pm

that's the single most pathetic thing i've ever seen.

ballsymchugh · 22-11-2009 4:45pm

that girl could do with a ham sandwich or 3.

Dave! · 22-11-2009 4:46pm

Wow... words fail me...

UnitedIrishman · 22-11-2009 4:46pm

That is one major cringeworthy moment.

TanG411 · 22-11-2009 4:49pm

Is she copying his handball movement in picture 2?

SlickRic · 22-11-2009 4:50pm

talk about finding a way to get us to sympathise with Thierry Henry.

well done Sunday World.

tbh, if i was him, i would have taken a ball out of the boot of my car, and hand-passed it, GAA style, straight at her face.

flahavaj · 22-11-2009 4:53pm

The only thing that'll be even more cringeworthy will be the inevitable Late Late appearance.

I'm sure Joe Duffy will be inundated with calls tomorrow from irate 'fans' furious that he didn't sign it and calling for him to be banned from football forever and ever!!

gandalf · 22-11-2009 5:04pm

/facepalm!

Typical French arrogance, we had the opportunity to apologise to the Irish people, and he rubbed our noses in it.

I am going to set up an online petition, to get this horrible human being to sign this apology.

If he doesnt sign it, at the 2nd chance, I think he should be banned forever and ever!

Eire-Dearg · 22-11-2009 5:06pm

Isn't that that Geraldine Comisky one? What a douchebag.

lordgoat · 22-11-2009 5:07pm

Ah classy journalism once more from irelands finest. Got to love the massive SW logo on the thing too.

Mossy Monk · 22-11-2009 5:07pm

If this happened on Wednesday night I am sure many would have applauded her. That however is a piss poor publicity stunt.

22-11-2009 5:10pm

That's like something the NOTW would do.

Cringeworthy moment.

Would be funny if he just ran her over.

Aidric · 22-11-2009 5:18pm

I can only hope that this pathetic stunt has the reverse effect for The Sunday World. A contemptible publication. They should have sent Roy Curtis in to the slums of Paris to get some reaction.

Agree what a cheap stunt the idiot probably didnt even watch the game . Id imagine no one else in the office was willing to make the trip with the "poster" .

bUILDERtHEbOB · 22-11-2009 5:32pm

What a crap embarrassment of a society we are turning into, Jesus Christ.

SlickRic · 22-11-2009 5:43pm

it just occurred to me that she'd have got paid to do that.

and got a free trip to Barcelona.

f*cking hell.

i hope embarrassing the nation was worth the money.

antomorro-sei · 22-11-2009 5:52pm

I laughed.

mirwillbeback · 22-11-2009 6:23pm

Sure the Mirror did something similiar yesterday, went to the village the ref lives in and left a hand written letter to him asking him to apologise or something to the Irish people.

Embarassing.

WoollyRedHat · 22-11-2009 6:54pm

Have these people never heard of email?

What a waste of a journey.

noodler · 22-11-2009 7:01pm

What negative do I have to use to get loads of free thanks?

no one see the oddity of this? Audi are one of Real Madrid's big sponsors. I'd have though Henry would have been lynched for driving one around Barca.

CCCP^ · 22-11-2009 8:30pm

I hope Henry's gaff is deadly looking inside because it doesn't look that impressive outside. He just leaves the car parked outside and all? I'd have some mad underground garage coming out of a mountainside if I had his money like Batman.

Think Audi must have some sort of deal with Barca too. I was at the nou camp a couple of years ago when the players were arriving for training or whatever and they were all driving Audis.

astrofool · 22-11-2009 8:45pm

We're worse than the English at this type of carry on.

Very refreshing to read this thread.

It was just a link to the News of the World doorstepping Thierry Henry asking him to apologise to the Irish people for crimes against humanity and other such injustices.

The NOTW "journalist" stood outside his house with a big placard with Henry's mug on it and an apology below it which they wanted him to sign. Pathetic really.

But it really appeals to the type of person who'd buy the NOTW, like every single one of the goms who went on that march on Saturday.
