PS: I forgot to say (blubbing too much), bring on the Goal line technology, just like the the Rugby. All goals at least should be reviewed live. Then it is all fair and square and people can accept it, the last World Cup Rugby (in Paris) and England had a very touch and go appeal for a try. The refs and officials reviewed it while me and Jim Baker bellowed that it was a mile over. Once we saw the re-runs a minute later, it wasn’t (just), well there was more to it than that but at the end of the day, the cameras don’t lie, it was not a try and I accepted it straight away, fairs fair. I would have accepted Owens dive against the Argies 2002 and I would have definitely accepted Diegos being written of.
Technology is the way forward, let’s hope this goal helps it come into being part of the modern game.

Well, front page news, Ireland cheated out of World Cup. I feel sick. A terrible decision by the officials. Henri has admitted he touched the ball, although he says he didn’t mean it, lying frog. He touched it twice palming it nicely to set up the Gallas goal. The replay showed the French were offside as well (although they wasn’t interfering with play), that a load of b*llocks as well. You can blame Henri, Fifa and the Refs but Henri did what Rooney or Owen would do, my problem with Thierry is he said it was an accident which it wasn’t.
The blame firmly lies with the refs who up to then had a good game. The linesman said to Kilbane at the time that he was 100% sure it was NOT handball- more B8llocks! Maybe the Sepp Blatters were leaning on the refs somehow to get what they wanted, the bigger teams getting through. It was bad enough with the seeding fiasco before the play-offs.

That decision has apparently cost Ireland 20 Billion. Thanks FIFA.

I’m really looking forward to it. THe Irish deserve to be at the world cup, and I’m not sure the French do.

I would love it (love it) if the Irish got through. With Keith Andrews and glenn Whelan in the team how could they fail? And Ribery out injured? Henry out of touch? Benzema not settling in? Vieira not in the squad?????

Raymond Domench will become a folk hero in Ireland if he’s not careful.

I don’t think they have anything to fear, France are a team of has beens with a manager who relies on luck more than tactics
