Quite ludicrous that they cannot do anything after the match when the evidence is so damning plus the player concerned admits the error.
Looking at another 'sport' - F1 the FIA manages to penalise plenty of drivers after races including taking away a whole World Championship (Schumacher '97). Just because something wasn't noticed at the time does not mean it should be allowed to pass.
It makes a mockery of the sport when such a stupid incident deprives Ireland of the chance to participate in the World Cup. Pathetic.

I prefer to think back to 2002, when France, the holders, were eliminated at the group stage without scoring a goal. Happy times...

He soooooooooooooooooooooo cheated, no doubt about and a little too smug for my liking. And FIFA are a disgrace(nothing new there then).
On a slightly positive note, Ireland has been hit really badly by the world's economic problem at least the fans will not be put under pressure to put themselves into debt to go to S.A to support their team!!

So he accidentally handled it twice while being offside? Time to change your Guide Dog dude!

Ireland was robbed. Qualifying for WC results in getting millions of Euros for countries footballing infrastructure and improvement of next generation players. It is more than WC qualification. | Quote: |  | | | Keane said Blatter and Uefa president Michel Platini, who is French, would rather see France than Ireland playing at next year's World Cup in South Africa.
"Of course it is an easy decision to do the seedings," Keane said. "They're probably all clapping their hands, Platini sitting there on the phone to Sepp Blatter, texting each other, delighted with the result, with France (getting through)." | | | | | |

| Quote: | | | | | Accidental? He raised his hand to stop it going out, then flicked it across to Gallas for the goal. The referee was blindsided so couldn't see it, but the linesman should have flagged. Henry also admitted he'd handled it, and said it was up to the ref to make the decision.
Gutted for the boys in green, they outplayed les bleus on the night and had by far the better chances. Converting one of them would have made the handball issue redundant, but cheating is cheating in my book.

Henry's goal was clearly with the hand, but the referee didn't called it
playing in PAris, in a full stadium and LOTS of different interests... its FIFA

Does this mean that if England were to encounter France next summer, our good Irish friends would cheer for England this time round?

| | | | | see there are two posts here - one incendiary and one pro-France but very humourous.
You do not have the moral high ground, nico.
The context of your post has only one meaning. And it's not really to make friends and influence people now is it?
