Roy Keane speaks the truth.
And we're back to disagreeing. I can't think of anyone in football I dislike more than Keane.

This is quite possibly the funniest thing to happen in football EVER.

Rubbish. A) It was cheating to not say anything, which is exactly what Henry did. B) That has f*** all to do with fair play or anything. Surely a similiar response is "Ireland are shit, they were never going to win the Worlc Cup, so why complain?"

I would have thought that Rent-a-Gob should be worrying more about Ipswich than anyone else

Nor me, but for once he is correct - and who said all paddies were thick?
On the other hand your contributions to this and other threads on here reveal a sharp and incisive intellect.

As I have mentioned on another thread, I believe the difference lies in what the outcome should be. I have never said that FIFA should order the game to be replayed - which they would then have to think about for bad decisions as well as cheating as you have mentioned. I would however hope that they take individual action against Henry, which they CAN do.
I would have hoped that the French FA would agree to a replay because of the embarassment that one of their players has deliberately cheated, and that is why they have won. I wouldn't expect them to do this if it was due to referee error - that is part of the terms of the game as we know it. If both FA's agree to a replay, why not? The World Cup isn't for months and months.

I think you are making an incredibly tenuous link between not objecting when the referee *thinks* he has spotted a handball in your favour, when you didn't appeal for it and can't be any surer than him, and deliberately handballing to set up a goal, then celebrating as if you haven't.
As for the second point - you're right that its not an issue regarding fair play, but the bottom line is that replaying that would genuinely be a complete waste of everyone's time, as it didn't ultimately change anything - whereas this has decided who gets to a world cup.

England just got cheated (not by a player at least), and I wonder if the same reaction will be on here. It was a real shift in momentum and reckon at 2-2 England would have had a massive mental upper hand.
Really hope England turn it round and win (and not just as I put a fiver on at 20-1 at 2-0), because I fear we will never hear the end of this.
Like Ireland's misfortune, it's a f***ing shame and not a way to end the World Cup dream.
