Re: Thiery Henry
Nah fuck 'em. Ireland are bit part players on the world stage. The world cup is surely richer with France in it. I only hope they cheat heavily against Germany or Argentina.
I mean, Henry or Robbie Keane? Come on.
It's Jason McAteer all over again.

Re: Thiery Henry
Yeah you are right there
We only have players who play in the premiership! Unlike France who have decent players!
Check Robbie Keanes scoring record in the Premiership btw

Doubt the Brits will be brave enough to bring it in SA! Now that would keep the neutrals entertained if they did!

For all their quality players, France right now are a shambles as a national team. Similar syndrome to England, although I am pleased with the progress under Capello.
I'd rather see some Irish heart at the World Cup than a bunch of posers.

What's all this 'Brits' shit anyway?
It's ENGLAND!
EN-GER-LAND.

Anyway, my monies going on Ivory Coast FTW.
This could be the year an African nation finally makes the breakthrough.

Re: Thiery Henry
Fair enough!! Sorry bout that 
Re: Thiery Henry
The first hit was accidental. The second may have been an involuntary action. It's easy to see things differently in super slow-mo.ianomurchu wrote:Granted Duff missed a sitter, but instinct the first time ok, but Henry did it again to bring it back under control! It may be human nature to take a chance like that but that does not make it fair! Ah feck it! There will be nothing done about it any way!!

Re: Thiery Henry
the first handball was to stop it going out of play
the second was to control it
it's clear as day.
the whole 'instinct' and 'the ref didnt see it' excuses are such bullshit.
How is acting on instinct a fuckin' excuse ? I mean if his hand just happened to be there, and the ball hit it - that's an acceptable 'accident' ...but reaching for it, instinctively, is not.
Am I the only one who gives a shit about the rules ?!?

(PS: I'm still glad we're not going to the world cup =)
(PPS: Roy Keane is trolling the FAI)

Re: Thiery Henry
did any of you lot check this clip out ?
He got a mention on CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/11 ... index.html
"This is not racist. This is not anti-French. This is I don't like you, you cheating, robbing bastard," YouTuber teebanmingle said as he torched the picture of Henry. "You're a cheating, robbing, handballing bastard, and I hope you get a career-ending FUCKIN injury in the World Cup. Good night, and God bless."
heh, I'm glad I had the foresight to download it =)
