Video: Republic of Ireland robbed of World Cup place by Thierry Henry

Offside and handball, but the goal stands
If I was Irish I would be waking up this morning a very bitter man. The Republic of Ireland had a place at next year’s World Cup snatched away from them by this horrendous piece of refereeing. Despite the fact that two players were offside, at least one very much interfering with play, and Thierry Henry controlled the ball with his hand, the goal was allowed to stand.
Absolutely unbelievable, one of either two things. A totally incompetent ref and linesman, which brings forward the argument for Video Refs, which I think they which I think they should do. OR, a conspiracy by Fifa and Uefa to get the big countries into the world cup. Either way this stinks to high heavan. The only fair thing to do would be a replay, but we know that won’t happen, especially with a Frenchman running UEFA
Perfectly good goal and not offside, Henry thought he was playing garlic football. Ha ha ha ha ha fucj you paddy cntus watch it on the TV and will you be supporting England ?

Not really - they had a chance of a place, they didn’t have a place snatched from them. There was still more extra time and penalties to go.
