idiot

especially if a minute before the goal france had a penalty claim turned down

idiot

name a club or country in which there has NEVER been any cheating. It's simpy impossible.
Justyfing what Henry did? No, it also sickens me that this shit goes through. But stuff like this will ALWAYS happen. This isn't the first time and this definitely hasn't been the last time. This shit happens always and everywhere - and hence it's "normal". The max you'd get is a yellow card instead of a some weeks ban that would really make you think about what you did.

And blaming the officials/ref is bullshit, Ireland should have just scored a second goal and there would have been absolutely nothing to discuss.
In total, the ref made O N E mistake. Ireland made D O Z E N S of mistakes.
so I don't see the problem there.

And of course Henry is trying to appease by demanding a rematch
for one because he knows it won't happen
and second because that time France would just roll over Ireland, like it's supposed to be

If they want to be fair play, they would offer a new match. It wouldnt be the first time that some team offer a fairplay match,
i know some players, trainers that has fair play tittle couse of that, but they don't want that. So i blame them, and they ruined reputation of world
well known nation. especially Henry couse he had to tell refeere for that hand.
And Platini in Fifa? Just can imagine if it would be reverse situation, no more comment. After all we lose the real sense of sport

refs were helping france all night completely

Exactly.

The problem that I have is that people say that what Henry did is acceptable simply because everyone would do it. The point is that it is not acceptable and nobody should do it.

And I agree that the officals were fantastic for the match apart from the one incident, although the ref couldn't see it.

It's not acceptable but a lot the morons in this thread started labeling him as a cheater/cunt and criticizing his career.
That's the only thing people have argued against, no one said it's acceptable.

But people make it look like the end of the world.

As well as a few others saying that Henry should take no blame what so ever.

I agree that this incident shouldn't and I hope wont taint his legacy.
