Anyone watch Ireland v France?

[Phil]

fuck Henry what a cheating piece of sh1t, first they brought in the seeding bollox to fuck the small countrys, but thats not good enough they still have to rob us the fucking wankers. gutted for Duff and the lads robbed of there last chance to play in a world cup absolute disgrace

[JazMerkin]

Ireland got shafted big time. Henry got away with playing basketball to set up that fuckin goal. As for his dive later . Tbh, their whole team was doing it, I saw a few control the ball with their arms.

A complete joke to see Ireland screwed out of the biggest stage of all those players careers on the basis of that. They played their hearts out.

Although on Phil's point I can't stand Damien Duff, he's always throwing his arms in the air complaining about a slightly loose pass when he could be chasing the ball down. He needs to get him some work ethic like guys like Liam Lawrence.

yeah man pisses me off when Duff does that as well, Lawrence was heroic tonight I thought, Andrews really stepped up to the plate as well, what a shame to go out like that though

It was a complete piss-take, Henry should get a ban for the first 2 matches of the World Cup. He won't though, Blatter wouldn't allow it. Yeah, Lawrence was excellent, I actually thought St Ledger & Doyle both had games beyond their abilities tonight as well. Such a shame that guys who put in performances like that could have it robbed from them.

get a ban for the hand ball or the dive ? 99.9% of strikers who could get away with a goal after handling would do just that - come on when do you see a striker admitting to a foul or such when they have scored. Will be interesting to see what Henry says in interview later.

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

I kinda sorta watched it while I was working. I saw the handball bit. If I'd have been Dunne when Henry came up to him and sat down next to him after the game I'd have punched his head off his shoulders. I'd have strangled the cunt.

[Kirkland Laing]

This kind of thing is why the need video refs. They should put FIFA and UEFA chiefs in prison until they OK it. It's only when an actual World Cup gets decided by cheating that they'll do it.

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!!

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