This whole incident is a transvestite of justice.
Cheat or paragon: how Thierry Henry could have handled it all so differently
Thierry Henry had about five seconds in which to decide to join the immortals. While William Gallas wheeled away from the point-blank header which gave France the lead over the Republic of Ireland during extra time in their World Cup play-off last night, Henry's reaction could have gone one of two ways.
In the act of controlling the ball before providing Gallas with a perfect cross, France's captain had handled it. Not once, but twice. The first time might have been almost inadvertent, a pardonable reflex action as it was about to go out of play. The second, in which he scooped the ball with his left hand, redirecting it to drop nicely on to his right foot, was clearly intentional.
Even there, it could be argued that an element of reflex was involved. But in the few seconds that followed, Henry had two options. He could pretend that he had not broken the most basic law of outfield play. Or he could take the opportunity to neutralise the effect of his reflexes. To erase an error. To right a wrong. To be a man.

Where was all this from the English press when Crouch pulled Sancho hair?
And makin a big show of goin to sit with Dunne, Dunne shoulda tell him to f**k off.
I agree.
And the Irish players want to blame FIFA, UEFA, the ref, the linesmen and everyone else.
But for some reason they're reluctant to point the finger at the person most responsible for their exit: Thierry Henry.

Yeah... Crouch eventually admitted it. He took it as a joke thing too.
Yeah I doubt there would have been this much outrage had it been Robbie Keane doing the same thing on the other end - then again that might have been called haha. Usually a foreigner bias in the media though.
That said I don't like Henry, this isn't the first time he's cheated and France is the big nation (which has a compatriot at the head of UEFA) - so I can't say I'm too surprised by the overall outcome of the playoff. Just a shame considering Ireland were as good if not better than the French over the 2 legs. France really have gone off the boil since the loss of Zidane and the addition of Domenech it must be said.
As for Henry:-

Most players have these moments at least occasionally nowadays - just a really blatant incident this time by a leading player in a crucial game really. But I can't say most pros wouldn't have done the same thing in Henry's situation.
It's the way that he celebrated without conscience that really shed a light on his personality though.

Bull shit! Henry under no obligation to walk to the ref and say I handled the ball! NONE!
When players foul in the box. or tug shirts deliberately, and the ref makes a non-call, are those players supposed to stop the play, hold the ball and go walk up to the ref and say, "Damn it old chap, are you bloody blind? Didn't you see me foul that French bloke? Why didn't you give them a penalty you shit house wanker?"
It was the responsibility of those officiating the game to make the call!

Ok ah go say it....Crouch = English and White - Sancho = a lil black boy from a lil island had no right to have dreadlocks
So England "Deservedly" moved on ;D
Henry = Nobody like the french anyway, plus he black ::) - Ireland = well they are all white, mostly lol so that is utterly disrespectful to "cheat" against them :devil:
Big Up!
I feel that's easier said than done. Those Irish players and most Irish fans will remember that incident for years to come. It's a really big deal.Ok ah go say it....Crouch = English and White - Sancho = a lil black boy from a lil island had no right to have dreadlocks

Hair pulling is a minor thing... no different from shirt pulling in the grand scheme of things. That's far different from deliberately handling the ball.
That said the Irish need to build a bridge and get to f**k over it already. Henry is doing the right thing... he made a mistake in the heat of the moment and okay, he didn't own up to it right away but he eventually did. Even had he gone to the ref and say "I hit it with my hand" there is no guarantee the ref would have done anything. The body properly empowered to act is FIFA, and like I said... he's doing the right thing, putting the onus squarely on them.

I didn't, you stooge. So learn to actually comprehend what you read, and save your worthless YouTube links for someone who gives a rat's ass.
Asswipe you posted an article which stated that he should have...and then you made the remark that he was responsible.....for Ireland's exit from WC2010..

Hey moron, just because I posted the article doesn't necessarily mean that I think Henry should have admitted the handball. And since you seem confused, I didn't write the article.
BTW, you know even less about my politics than you know about football.
Shut up, you followed the post with stating the Irish had a right to blame Henry and not the ref.

Roy Keane has no sympathy for Republic of Ireland exit
Roy Keane
Keane was typically robust when asked about the Republic's appeal
Roy Keane has lambasted the Republic of Ireland's attempts to get their controversial World Cup play-off match against France replayed.
The Republic appealed to Fifa after their 2-1 aggregate defeat by France on the basis that the winning goal came after a blatant Thierry Henry handball.
But Ipswich boss Keane said: "They can complain all they want but France are going to the World Cup - get over it.
"France were there for the taking and Ireland didn't do it. Same old story."
The Irishman, who made 65 appearances for the Republic as a player, continued: "If I'd been there in the dressing room after the game, I wouldn't be talking about the handball. I'd focus on why the defenders didn't clear it. They should've cleared it.
"I'd be more annoyed with my defenders and my goalkeeper than Thierry Henry. How can you let the ball bounce in your six-yard box? How can you let Thierry Henry get goal-side of you? If the ball goes into the six-yard box, where the hell is my goalkeeper?
"These are skills and lessons you learn as a schoolboy.
"Ireland had their chances in the two games and they never took them. They had chances at Croke Park (in the first leg) and they had chances on Wednesday.
606: DEBATE
Is Roy Keane right?
"They didn't take them, but it's the usual FAI (Football Association of Ireland) reaction - 'we've been robbed, the honesty of the game...' It's rubbish."
And Keane pointed out that controversial decisions went Ireland's way in the qualifying campaign, not least a harsh penalty award against Georgia which helped them to clinch a 2-1 qualifying win in February.
"There was one match against Georgia where Ireland got a penalty and it was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen which changed the whole course of the game.
"I don't remember the FAI after the game saying we should give them a replay."
Keane's antipathy towards the FAI stems back to the Pacific island of Saipan in 2002 when he left the team's pre-World Cup training camp, complaining that the facilities were sub-standard.
Keane has never forgiven Delaney for failing to contact him during the incident and misleading the media as to his whereabouts after his controversial exit from the tournament after the row with boss Mick McCarthy over facilities.
"People seem to forget what was going on in that World Cup, and that man (FAI chief executive John Delaney) is on about honesty? I wouldn't take notice of anything that man says.
"I was one of the players at that World Cup and he didn't have the courtesy to ring me. I'd been involved with Ireland since I was 15 years of age and that man didn't have the decency to make a phone call. He could have phoned me, of course he could have."
I tink dem boy on tnt team need some good boofin up. i feel he could take we 2 brazil.

How do the tactical errors Ireland committed render Henry's violation unimportant ? Ireland did score a goal that was caused by schoolboy defending by France (The guy was absolutely free in the box). Football is a game of mistakes, you can point out a defensive error as the cause of most goals. He's right in saying there's no point in demanding a replay of the match though.

Oh I know cheating happens, but in no way does cheating make football the best sporting event in the world.
I don't know why you said that part, probably it was in error.
Today ppl can ignore the few instances where players cheat ONLY because, luckily for us, the amount of players that deliberately try to cheat are in the minority.
Now picture a game where the majority of players tryin a ting.
The ref would be helpless, and the game would be disgusting.
And in case ppl haven't noticed, cheating through simulation, diving, disguised fouls is on the increase.
If unchecked, what I said above is where the game is headed.
Stay there and feel that they not goin to do something about it!
Video replay, goal line sensors, an additional ref assistant, they ARE going to do something to reduce refereeing errors.
Probably in a couple years we will look back at Henry's handball and see that it helped make the game better by highlighting the inadequacies in refereeing today.

My name is FF and I does cheat in all kinda games!
I know I wrong but if I get away I get away... If I get catch i does laugh, take meh punishment if any and move on.
I does dive up to this day in football, I does bawl for the ref, I clear ball from inside de goal endless time and keep it moving... I hands ball and never own up to it. I commit professional fouls.
In card games I does hide cards, I does watch in people hand and I will argue for everything.
I does speed.. if i see a police i does slow down... sometimes not. Then I does show up to court and swear your honour de man lie... I was driving slow!
This is my confession... get away with what you can in life yes
So by his own admission the reaction was instinctive... which I'm sure many will still question. What should he have done after handling the ball... go talk to the ref? And what then... seeing that he said (again, disbelieve him if you want) he approached the ref and the ref wasn't moved by his confession?

Aside from not instinctively handling the ball... how was he not playing fair?
Aside from the handball? Nothing else was really unfair. Why?
Dais why they going home in the first round, just like in 2002.....
Hypocritical peoples in football! Let's face it if the situation was reversed, would NI agree to a replay? No chance! :whistling:
Henry prove that most athletes believe a win is a win and if yuh get get away with $hit well lucky u and hard luck for de next person. I hope France get nuff licks in de World Cup and Henry get send off in de first minute of de first game and miss the entire tournament. Never like France and hate dem even more but not as much as I hate England...doh cuss mih Small Mag... ;D

would you of said that if it was Trinidad and Tobago getting into the world cup on the same hand ball....i hope Henry and company beat people went that time come
FIFA, football’s world governing body, has announced an extraordinary general meeting in Cape Town on December 2 to discuss a series of pressing matters.
Thierry Henry's handball in the World Cup play-off game against Ireland, the discovery of a match-fixing ring by German police and trouble surrounding the Algeria-Egypt qualifier are all expected to be on the agenda.
The executive committee was already due to meet on December 3 on Robben Island to discuss the draw to be held the following day.
"Due to recent events in the world of football, namely incidents at the playoffs for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, match control (refereeing) and irregularities in the football betting market, the FIFA president [Sepp Blatter] has called an extraordinary meeting of the Executive Committee," said a FIFA statement.
Ireland's Football Association formally asked for a replay of the France-Ireland draw after Henry’s blatant handball, which FIFA refused, and on Friday German police said they had dismantled a match-fixing gang with more than 200 suspected members operating in nine European leagues.
The Egypt-Algeria qualifier on November 14 in Cairo and subsequent play-off in Khartoum four days later were also surrounded by controversy. Twenty Algerian fans were injured in clashes with Egyptian fans across the Sudanese capital that night and according to Algerian press reports, crowds of football fans attacked homes of Egyptian workers in south-eastern Algeria.
But didn't they use the camera for the last world cup with the Zidane incident when Italy play France.

No I think the ref saw it straigthaway and issued a red... maybe he consulted with the linesman, if that.
I can't understand why people on Henry case.
He admitted it.
He told the Ref.
He admits that there should be a rematch.
The only people who have a right to be still bitter nonetheless is the Irish.
The man has shown much more class than Maradona or Crouch ever did.
Ah sorry for Ireland but is not like Henry eh give a f*&*.
Honestly if TT had qualified like that and the Ref didn't see...who here would feel sorry or the opponent and want a rematch?
VB
Heard on the news somewhere that Henry wants or wanted to retire from international football after the incident.

I realize I kill it, but now I genuinely curious as to what I miss, cause I think "transvestite" was used intentionally :thinking:
Henry did the right thing, if the ref don't blow the whistle play on. He is not the ref. he is the French Captain.
What you expect him to do infront of goal.. stop? walk up to ref and say "hi ref the ball bounced of my hand blow ur whistle please it's an Irish free kick"
The honesty of it all is, France won the tie in Ireland and outplayed them in Paris.
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: dem fuh real?
next thing u know they go just show up at the world cup in south africa with their gear, entourage and fans saying "we come so far. give we a sweat nah?"

Yeah they were cheated out of the spotHow exactly were they cheated out of a spot?
As much as I don't think France deserves to qualify based on what happened, even if Henry didn't handle the ball the tie (all things being equal) would be 1-1 on aggregate. That's not enough to ask to be included into to the World Cup. How would that work anyway... a group with 5 teams ?Yeah they were cheated out of the spotHow exactly were they cheated out of a spot?
Was the goal a "golden goal"? Did the game cease the moment the ball went into the net from Gallas?
Why couldn't they score in the reamining time left in the game? There was a full 16 minutes left in the game. More than enough time to get an equalizer.
Let's say the goal did not count, who's to say they would have qualified anyway? Would they have been guaranteed to win on penalty kicks? Who's to say France would not have scored another goal before that?
What about the chances they missed prior to the goal? Were they cheated by John O'Shea, Kevin Doyle & Robbie Keane when they missed glaring chances? Would they be in the WC if it wasn't fuh dem misses?

Palos this isn't something you and I gonna agree with obviously, but it's really quite simple to me. Despite what chances were missed or created, they scored a legal goal and the goal that was scored against them by France was illegal! Wether the ref missed it or not it was "not" a legit goal and should not have been allowed . As a direct result of this illegal goal they lost the tie and missed out on qualifying ...you could twist it anyway you want these are the facts and they are undeniable!
Maybe we should ask Fifa for a special spot for the 1974 team. The ref. blatantly disallowed legimate goals.
maybe FIFA should explain how they decided to change the process for qualifying when they suddenly realised that Portugal and France could end up not qualifying

How many goals did Ireland score in the second game? I was always thought that if you don't score you cannot argue about being cheated.

I wrote how many goals did Ireland score in the second game? I never wrote that they did not.

I don't see what the big deal over this is, since the playoffs for the 2006 WC were seeded, too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(UEFA_play-off)
Or did FIFA initially say that the draw would be random, and then change it to a seeded one?

You asked how many they scored in the second game, and then followed it by saying "I always thought that if you don't score, you can't argue about being cheated"....
Well, they DID score a goal in the second game....so how does that affect the second part of your statement (bolded above?)
First of all you can argue about being cheated even if you don't score...if you concede an illegal goal you were cheated, whether or not you scored...a 0-0 draw earns more points than a 0-1 loss....so you're not making any sense.
Secondly they did score in the second game...so what's your point?
They conceded a goal that should not be allowed i.e. they were cheated. I don't know why people are being so hard-headed about that.
Do they deserve a spot in the WC? I can't answer that- too many variables, ultimately they will have to concede defeat to the tough and unfair laws of reality/life...Reality bites, or as BNS put it- shit happens.....
but were they cheated? Absolutely!
They did score one, which was and is not enough to get them to the Wc. They needed a second goal, no? Plus they did not score at home.
They weren't cheated. You are implying that the refs saw the hand ball and deliberately allowed the goal to stand.

Your head real hard dread. You're telling me what I'm implying now? haha...Anyways, I'm not implying that the ref saw the hand ball and deliberately allowed the goal to stand. I'm saying that a deliberate hand ball (which is pretty difficult to refute based on the replays- i.e. Henry's second touch of the ball with his hand did not look accidental)...is a form of cheating...and by the refs not doing their job correctly (They are responsible for making those calls), Ireland was cheated...
Yes it's up to the refs to see it, and yes they more than likely didn't see it in this case, but it does not negate that it was illegal and that the incident represents a form of cheating. If you want to argue that it's ok to break the laws of the game so long as you don't get caught, then I'll leave you to enjoy that conversation with yourself.
btw how you know the ref eh see it? You talk to them or what?
Earlier in this thread you pointed out Sancho & Crouch, and yuh asking where was the outcry then....So you implying that the ref saw that one and let it pass? How you know that?
Steups...allyuh have a different set of eyes for every scenario yes.
You said Ireland was cheated, that meant that by accepting the result of the game the ref and FIFA at the time of the hand ball knew what happened. Ireland was not cheated, to say that you would have to say the officials of the game conspired against them.

No you would not "have to say" that- That's just retarded.... players can cheat too (even if the refs don't see it). I didn't say that the refs/officials cheated Ireland out of a spot. I said that Henry cheated....and I said that Ireland ultimately needs to conceded defeat to the harsh laws of life....sh*t happens...but they were still cheated.
My point is simple but it seems like you choose to think in an even more simple fashion.
Not only is Charlize Theron blazingly hot, she also knows how to toss a hand grenade.

Yesterday, at the dress rehearsal for todays' World Cup draw, she reached into the pot and PULLED OUT A BALL THAT SAID IRELAND instead of the "France" ball she was supposed to have.
I'm guessing that the assembled FIFA functionaries didn't find this nearly as humorous as Charlize did (and the rest of us do), and the notoriously fun-free Jerome Valke, FIFA General Secretary, felt the necessity to tell everyone that it was "just a joke".
Yeah, Jerome, we got that.
