And another Leicester player - Neil Back

Cheating in sport is dispicable and there is NO place for it.

If there is TV evidence that shows blatant cheating, then the authorities HAVE to act to preserve the name of sport.

And let's face it; this wasn't just any old game of football!

 

[raindog]

Wasn't it Henri who dived in front of Spain's goal for a winning penalty in the semi final of the last WC?

Whereas, of course, in CYCLING ...
(speaking as someone who hasn't bothered to tune in to TdF on TV for several years now).

 

[Steve Austin]

Every single striker that has ever played football has played outside the rules at some point.
Being awarded a penalty isn't always luck you know!

Michael Owen against Argentina in the 2002 World Cup. Blatant dive at 3.39. I shouted penalty before he fell over, and I'm sure I was one of thousands. Not that Argentina don't have form........

A sickening way to exit. Over the course of the 2 games we didn't have much luck. lost to a deflected goal and one that should have been disallowed twice (Henry was also offside in the replays). As regards flowing football Noodley you obviously haven't seen the French play recently. They have a number of good individual players who can turn a game, but flowing football it ain't. Ireland had enough chances over the course of the 2 games to be well clear. I'll be the first to admit we got some lucky breaks over the course of the qualifiers, but just didn't seem to get any in the play-offs. Still the "big" teams are in so the sponsors are happy. And Henry will make a few more endorsement deals as a result of his actions.

 

[Billloudon]

The question was, was he cheating. YES. He knew what he was doing.
So what happens now? Well nothing - sadly. The Irish nation were cheated.
Is it too late to disallow the goal with video evidence! Or just ban Henry from the rest of the games.

 

[Fnaar]

Very unfair for Ireland to go out like that... at least Henry admits it was handball... he said "Ze bol 'it mah 'and... eet wurrz a 'andboll... but ah am nurt ze hreferee"

chemists in Ireland are dismantling those Gillette displays at this very moment.......

[Dayvo]

The Irish nation were cheated . . . Or just ban Henry from the rest of the games.

I think there's quite a few Irishmen and women who would love to see him miss more than just a few games!

 

[dellzeqq]

oh my goodness! Renault dealers in Dublin rush in to work and remove those pictures of Henry!

for those who haven't seen it...

«Thierry Henry, que s'est-il passé exactement sur le but de William Gallas ?
Il y a main, mais je ne suis pas l'arbitre. A la base, c'est Toto (Squillaci) qui va à la lutte de la tête. Moi, je suis derrière deux Irlandais. La balle rebondit, tape ma main, l'arbitre ne siffle pas... Je continue à jouer, mais bien sûr qu'il y avait main...
