Ardemax, that is totally besides the point. Yes, we'd laugh if it was England v Ireland, yes we'd do the same in Henry's position, but that isn't the case, this was Henry & France who did this, not you or me for England. So will people please stop talking crap and saying "OH UD LAUGH IF TWASS ENGLANDD!!" - shut up, it's besides the point.

Edited By Britishtea (Trialist Forum moderator): Please don't be rude.
i like France, people are nice there :)
lost some respect for Henry, but a world cup wouldnt be that without France
I think what's more besides the point is you basing everything you say on your hatred of france.Quote:

The Ref had such a good game aswell but he did miss what cost Ireland the game. Was so Blatent he handled it twice! I very much doubt they will get a replay aswell.
Yeh, it is a shame, but a replay won't be given. At the end of the day, henry ****** up, he cheated ireland and he knows it. He'll now be remembered for that, and not what he should be remembered for, similar to marradonna. Great player, bad mistake.
Hopefully we will get a replay, if enough kick & fuss is created it could possibly happen.
He is a cheating ****** man!!!!!
Henry is one of the finest players, if not the best player ever to grace the Premier League and you're condemning him for the referee's mistake? He said it himself he wouldn't of contested the decision if the referee made one.
What else could he do? You play until the whistle - that's the first thing you learn as a footballer. It's not his fault.
That was a ******* disgrace
I'm Irish...
HAHAHAHAHAHA UNLUCKY.Quote:

You're letting your hatred of France get the better of you :P Anyway, this won't take anything from Henry's reputation for me. He has always set a great example as a footballer and been a role model and he made a mistake yes, but the linesman was a fool and should have seen it and at least Henry owned upto it. You can't blame the ref though. Also you shouldn't punish Henry imo as you can't punish some players and not others but starting next season a punishment system should be inplace I think, along with two extra refs in all major leagues.
I'd be all up for a re-match but then again its tricky. Do you play the whole 2nd leg again? If so will Henry be banned? And also if they play it again it means Ireland need to score twice to go through as there first goal scored wouldn't count. Also should they just play extra-time or penalties? Because of all of this I doubt it will be played again but it would be nice as long as that waste of space Gignac doesn't play and Benzema does.
There is no chance of a re-match.
Although I don't condone what Henry did and think it is a true disgrace to the game. I did love watching Ireland cry
Aww i only feel sorry for 'R Shay.
Justice For Ireland!!
At least Henry and Maradona admit that cheating git Scottish git Joe Jordan still doesn't admit to it to this day and that was for the world cup too. :@
I don't see how he cheated. Yes, he handballed but what was he meant to do, go over to the ref and say "Oh, ref I just handled it on purpose, might aswell send me off". It was the officials fault, both the referee and the linesman. No person in Henry's position, would have told the ref that he handled it.
Probably already been said this and argued against but I'm saying this so it's true, obviously. :D
Wait, am I contradicting myself by calling Jordan a cheat and not Henry. Probably, but it's against Wales so it's cheating. Y'know views change when your from that country and that's just the way it is I suppose.
He cheated by cupping his hand around the ball and stopping it going out of play then creating a goal. That's how he cheatedQuote:

P.S. To anyone who quotes this, I know hes a cheat, Yes I would hate it done to me and so forth and so on.
Ban the french scum from the world cup and every1 will be happy.
He could have not hand balled it in the first place...Quote:

Instinctive reaction, you'll see it week in week out in football and if you've played the game you'd know.Quote:

Your dad is totally awesome!!!! :8 Guess he wont be happy that black man is going to the world cup and the taigs arent eh :(Quote:

It's not cheating fgs.Quote:

How on EARTH can you say its NOT cheating? HENRY ADMITTED HE HANDLED THE BALL, WHICH IS CHEATING, IT'S AGAINST THE RULES, IF YOU DO SOMETHING AGAINST THE RULES YOU ARE 'CHEATING'.
YES, it was his NATURAL REACTIONS, but that still doesn't take away from the fact that he handled it, which is CHEATING.
What's with all the racist stuff and the French remarks?
Yes he cheated in a way which brings discredit to himself and his whole footballing nation but when racist remarks are being said then there's no need for it.
It's football *** get over it. You win some you lose some.
I don't like the French, and I don't hide that fact. Yet people are allowed to post crap like this:
And get away with it? yet I get called RACIST and are WARNED for calling NO ONE a 'French *******'.Quote:

Ok fair enough but maybe keep it to yourself? Call him stuff (verbally) but not racially... no need for it. :)Quote:

That's the one thing i hate... racist people.. there's no need for racism, in any situation.
Its funny how ngog got slated, n henry is bein defended
This is much more serious Jacky, this has potentially lost Ireland millions of pounds.... Peanut head has wrecked the dreams of the Irish players which whom, so desperately wanted be in the World Cup. For many, this will be their last chance. :(Quote:

Watched the Interview of Henry on sky sports and he felt no guilt at all, you could tell he couldn't care a **** what people thought of him his attitude when questions were brought forward to him was dam right disrespectful. He could of shown a little guilt/remorse for what he did but instead he decided to take the piss out of the questions he was asked regarding the incident.

So its a big deal because the Irish didn't get through then?
Ireland did so well, I'm majorly disappointed for them. I was surprised Keane even put that away lol. Is there a video of the other handball Henry is supposed to have done?
It couldn't have been more intentional if he picked up the ball, stuck it down his kex and walked into the goal. :SQuote:
