I was listening to talkSPORT this morning and they are not happy bunnies on there, either and they're English like me! They claim that Blatter is spineless and, of course, Platini is his clone (and French!). There is, of course, no way that the game will be re-played, but I believe that the FAI should at the very least, make an official appeal against the result, as it was one of the most important matches in their recent history. I believe that FIFA should be seen to do something to penalise Henry for the most blatant piece of cheating since Maradona's hand of god. I can see the Irish talking about that incident for years to come.
The other thing was the Irish support was magnificent. When things weren't going well, they got behind their team and were so vocal. What a credit. Unlike the froggies who boo and jeer their team even when they don't get a throw in.
I can see the conspiracy theories having some legs in this instance, although I don't believe the referee could or would have seen the handball, as cheat Henry was running away from him. How that french twat could have the nerve to celebrate like he did, though?
I see the Irish having the moral high ground with this for a wee while. Heads up lads.
