Its football - you get the bad decisions , all part of the game. Though why they won't switch to video refereeing is a mystery....

I feel for the Irish they deserved it but lets face it they would be laughing if it was England. Have worked with a bunch of Irish lads for years who will always say when asked who they want to win a tournament "anyone but Englnd." They really smarmy when England lose

Amazes me as they have lived here years (longer than they have in Ireland) but thats the way it is.

So I will rip the piss out of them tomorrow - fuck 'em

yeah I'd like to say thats not the way but there is alot of that cheering against England, but in fairness its normally dumb fucks who claim there diehard Man U or Liverpool fans but boo there own players when playing for England :-\ then again the English fans do them no favours, last time they were over they tore apart our stadium :-\ I like the frendly rivalry, like in Rugby where you can watch the match with the England fans and have good banter.

To be fair the rest of britain and ireland want anyone but england to win the world cup

I know welshmen, jocks and paddys who will all be cheering on the other 31 nations at 2010 preying that england strike out again in a penalty shootout!!

I used to love the home nation games - its a shame they dont happen any more for fear of crowd trouble.

I wish people would stop blaming Henry and calling for him to be banned etc..

I remember a goal being given in a league match last year which had gone out for a corner and actually missed the goal - the players were mystified yet all accepted a goal had been given. Thats football for now - we want VIDEO REFS !

The linesman, ref and FIFA are at fault not him - imagine if Rooney scored for England to get us through a play off and then admitted he had handled so the gioal was scratched and we went out. I mean come on - we'd want to lynch him.

Tough break for you Irish....it's a shame things happened like that.

Thierry Henry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

man theres some serious hate going on over here on Henry, this is funny shit though ;D

Well he is a cunt... ;D

I've got tears in my eyes here, that Wikipedia page was legendary ;D

Just seems the big home teams always get the decisions.

If no one saw it for starters it was off side then Henry decided to handball ( worst handball your likely to see ) and knocks it across the box for his team mate to knock it in. :(

Im still vomiting with disgust. not only is he a cheat but hes a liar too. Funny thing is, if he did it at Croke Park the crowd woulda marvelled at his ball-handling skills
