I'm getting SICK of hearing lines like this.

Firstly, Robbie had an ACCIDENTAL (and almost semi-) handball; not a blatant double one.

Secondly, if any of our own cheated I'd call it as it was - a VERY hollow victory that involved a cheat.

And they were so convinced of this that their captain wasn't pathetically desperate enough to cheat and put his reputation on the line......oh, hang on.......

Ah the "What if the shoe was on the other foot" argument. What if you're auntie had a bollox? She'd be you're uncle. So ****ing what. And France would have won anyways? Why did Ireland even bother playing to begin with so?

For what it's worth, I wouldn't applaud any player for cheating. Foreign or domestic. If the rules are optional, why play the game?

They think their good when in fact they are fairly crap and will never come close to how good top teams are. Wasting their own time.

Em, What match was everyone watching? The one I was watching showed a brilliant Irish side playing against a very weak French side who had to resort to desperation to win. That is not a "Sure France would of won anyways" moment. Ireland played amazingly and france did not and that is why everyone is so outraged at the foul.

Ireland outplayed them in their own backyard. So what are you basing "They're gonna go alot further than Ireland ever could imagine" on? They were very lucky to qualify in the end..

LMAO!!! They were FAR better than the cheat that is supposedly a "World Class Footballer"

As for wasting time, it's Henry and FIFA that wasted the fans' time....

Look, somebody has to lose. It's sport. You take the bad with the good. God knows Ireland lose often enough without being shafted like this. If you don't think Ireland should play because they might lose, then you just don't understand competitive sport.

That is the most disrespectful and disgraceful comment I have ever read about our team. You must be either trolling or if not then I just have no words to describe you.

jesus, not good

"lets just do penalties, sure dats where we were headed for anyway" :rolleyes:

It'll become too diluted in idiocy to be taken seriously, at this rate

el dude

Feck the replay. The chance is gone.

But, hopefully this is something that can kick-start change and in that regards i'm delighted the FAI are kicking up a fuss.

Tell Gillette to stop funding the thief !

not me, i'm mature and will not alter my life because of a gang of overpaid sissies chasing a ball around a field.

Old news
Several posters posted this last night

But I won't be dealing with them again more out of their ripoff prices for razors

Anyway, Roger Federer also promotes Gillette and he's the greatest sportsman alive imo!

aDeener

i wont either because it is both retarded and pointless

TanG411

I wonder what will happen if Henry was kicked of the Gillette sponsership?

Hmm, he'll probably have to sell everything he owns to have a bit of money because his Barcelona wages won't be enough.

no supposedly about it, ireland didnt have a player on the pitch last night with a quarter of his ability. such a stupid post, try and not let anger cloud your judgment in future

partyatmygaff

I can't understand why anyone would boycott gillette of all things. Adidas also sponsor him, why was Gillette(Nothing whatsoever to do with sport) singled out.

Why boycott any of his sponsors anyway?? Its not as if he will be affected to a substantial degree.
