In ten years we'll all be watching reeling in the years cursing the cheating bastard. Just like in 2002 in Saipan we all blamed....

Mick McCarthy. Keane is a hero

And of course France went on to have a disastrous and unprofessional World Cup, getting knocked out in the first round.

Karma's a bitch.

And we thought that that was a bad day !!!!!

The hardest part is knowing Ireland would have went on to win the world cup after that handball incident ....:mad:

Turtyturd

If I ever get told I have cancer I want that rte news video to be shown to me immedietly afterwards to cheer me up.

That's weird cause I went to the pub that night and I'm going to the pub tonight too.

What are the odds? :eek:

I'm fairly sure a lot of people do actually.
Now I'm not one of them but I have seen their anger & heard their fury.

I remember the government being a little *too* eager to try negotiate us into the world cup (especially considering FIFA have strict rules regarding political interference). The Dail were probably thinking "give the proletariat their little football tournament and it might cushion somewhat the next 12 months of bombshells we have in store for them".

Also on this day, William Tell successfully shot an arrow off his son's head.
Hence the William Tell overture.
Which reminds me of my favourite definition of an intellectual:

"One who can hear the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger"

I thank you.And now back to the football.

Kimono-Girl

are people still going on about the handball incident???:eek:

wow some people can really hold a grudge!

yes it sucks that it happened, yes it was cheating and yes he got away with it....but it will never be fixed just get over it! move on, and stop letting it bother you cause you can be damn sure he isn't bothered by it! :rolleyes:

More importantly, wasn't Galway liberated from the Indians?

I'm just glad that he moved to New York. I feel physically sick every time I see his face and thankfully that's not very often these days.

I don't think people realise yet just how devastating that was. Could have been our last chance for a decade (or even longer) to get into a World Cup but that ship has sailed now. That was our last chance as a nation for good times before the shit hit the fan.

No the Marathon bar name changed to Snickers was the most important!

I wish I had been under a rock, too many French people have come up to me and apologised for this **** and too many times I've had to inform them that they're apologising to the wrong Irishman, because if the entire Irish football team died in a plane crash tomorrow I'D ****ING LAUGH!

Yeah it's strange that, I had ceased caring about the Henry handball incident a long time ago but French people are STILL bringing it up...they don't believe me when I say I really don't care!

Hehe yesterday last year was gas in AH. Didn't someone (Robbie998 I think?) try and sticky a thread by just putting [STICKY] in the thread title? Hysterics all round

Well if the goal was disallowed we still would have gone out on penalties. Few people seem to realise that. As Keano said "France were there for the taking". But we scored and then committed suicide as usual by sitting on a one goal lead. No! When you've got blood in your mouth you hammer 2, 3, 4 past a team that you've quite clearly got sussed out. Ireland did the usual and saw the finish line but hoped that they'd be allowed cross it rather than smash their way through. Pathetic.

GavRedKing

I was lucky enough to be at the game so didnt get to see any replay of the goal until we got back to the hotel, we should have won and i put the blame on more people then Henry, Mcshane for not dealing with the initial ball, O'Shea for gwtting injured and forcing McShane to be played.
Duff for missing a one on one in the seonc half.

But right now I couldnt give a toss about it, im over it and still rate Henry as one of the best players to have played in the EPL and in Europe, top player.

Bunch of cheese-eating, surrendering fro... Nah, I'm over it.

I did want to kick him in the nuts when he sat down beside Richard Dunne though. It was quite funny watching their demise in South Africa, I felt a bit sorry for the fans.

Ah well, one year on and look how much we've prospered as a nation!
