    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.

    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:

    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??:confused::confused:

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

    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?

    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.

    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::confused:

    btw I didnt get to see the goal so youtube vid asap plzthx

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