Anyone watch Ireland v France?

[Gandalf]

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.

There is no reason not to use video replays when it comes to high stakes sporting events. It's a shame for the Irish going out like that.

I thought the Irish played some good stuff, Unlucky

disgraceful

The irish played like true heroes and got royally screwed over by a cheating frenchmen and inept officiating.

Up until the ref had a brilliant game and i dont lay too much of the blame on his shoulders as he was clearly blindsighted. But the linesman 1st missing a clear offside when the balls played in, the henry juggling the ball back into play to setup the winner.

Whether he admitted to it after the game or not this was the clearest form of cheating and henry should be forced to sit out the world cup for doing so.

Can only hope trappatoni and his boys can come home to a heroes reception as they almost pulled off the impossible!!
