Are you always this aggressive?


 No, it wasn't agressive. there is never any point in skirting around a point trying to be made, i just go ahead and say it...maybe i shouldn't be so blunt? Sad

Incidents like this is what makes football ace. Its not perfect, its contraversial and its unfair.

Football would be crap if it was perfect.

Spot on.

Agree.  It's not fair, but if FIFA agreed to a replay I think it would set an unworkable precedent.

the irish FA should just let it go and hold the heads up high in the knowledge they were very close to getting there.

henry's handball didn't cost them a world cup place, poor finishing did

on this point- how much of a difference would then beating italy have made to the group standings if they could've defended a smidge better?

I reckon it depends on whether the French FA agree to a replay, if they do then I don't see a problem with FIFA agreeing to it. But, FIFA making the decision would be dangerous and I can't see them doing it.

I still think the solution is to let it go, but for Henry to be given a 4 match ban from FIFA competitions - so it would start with the group matches of the World Cup. Hitting players with lengthy bans is the only way to stop them cheating.

Ironically, the action as he performed it would actually have been illegal in Basketball as well. Nice.
