joeyt Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm so disappointed with Henry. As the years have gone by his performances have been getting worse and what happened last night is the final straw. I'm getting a Dyson tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Lets face it, its far more interesting with France at the World Cup than having Ireland there. Bollocks is it. I know ZERO French people. I know SOME Irish people. Witty banter potential has been shat on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I don't blame Henry. He instinctively raised his arm and made the cross. I'm sure he wasn't even thinking about it at that moment. I saw the interview on SSN, he apologized and that should be the end of it. The refs got it wrong. What are you gonna do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 French people tend to be shit as a rule. Irish people tend to be cunts, but in a really playful and good way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Liam Liam O Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 You'd think this was the first injustice to ever occur in football. Ireland should have been our of sight last night before that goal was scored, but because of shite finishing they weren't. They just need to take it on the chin, get over it and and set about qualifying for the next tournament, not carry on bitching about demanding a replay.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I dont get this whole 'its happened to everyone, get over it' shite. Aye, its true, but when it happens to your team it's shit, and when you're in that position people saying 'its happened to everyone, get over it' means fuck all, because all it really highlights, as it does somewhere in some Premier League match on a weekly basis that blatantly incorrect decisions are happening far too often, and something needs to change. A shared wrong doesn't stop it being wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I don't want those useless Irish players anywhere near my TV. In fact, seeing Duff, Given and St Ledger in South Africa would ruin the tournament, my summer and perhaps even my love of football. But the travesty in which they went out .It was worse than the hand of god incident. I've never seen anything like it . The unlucky bastards! This is a joke right?

Village Idiot Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I dont get this whole 'its happened to everyone, get over it' s****. Aye, its true, but when it happens to your team it's s***, and when you're in that position people saying 'its happened to everyone, get over it' means f*** all, because all it really highlights, as it does somewhere in some Premier League match on a weekly basis that blatantly incorrect decisions are happening far too often, and something needs to change. A shared wrong doesn't stop it being wrong. All part of the game and its appeal though IMO. Same things were happening in 1966 and the game's survived ok. Aye, we could talk about certain blind Russian linesman. But since we have the tools, I wouldn't object video technology for dubious goals like this one, it wouldn't impact the flow of the game that much (these incidents aren't that common) and would improve the cleanliness of the game.

It's faster, and with higher stakes. It's funny how there was a great amount of time that got put into seeing whether England's third goal actually went in or not, when the technology to do so was available. A fourth official watching a TV for vital decisions isn't going to hinder the game any more than it is at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 don't get people blaming Henry, not his fault the ref is suit. Nice finish by Duff wwhen clean through though to make it 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 It's tough on the Irish but they shouldn't be whinging about a replay. At the end of the day, it's a game and the result at 90 minutes can't be turned over because a ref decision is found to be incorrect. That principle should be sacrosanct. Video replays aren't practical because so many decisions involve matters of opinion as much as matters of fact. Replays don't always clarify matters at all. You could say that this particular one was blatant, but then you'd end up arguing about the definition of 'blatant' when it comes to other decisions.
