Henry deliberately handled the ball to control it. I had more respect for him. I hope France hang their heads in shame!!!

    France went through. Ireland totally deserved to go through. Im an Englishman but feel gutted for Ireland. Henry cheated and its a shame that it came to that to decide the game.

    Lloris was in fine form, rejecting everything Keane and Duff and Doyle had to throw at him. A real shame such a fine performance is overshadowed by a disgusting piece of cheating from someone who we all thought was a fine specimen of a sportsman.

    If it was Anelka, Gallas, Diarra, fine. They're a bunch of tools anyway.

    This was Henry. He's not supposed to be one of them.

    Judas.

    Ref was positioned pretty much where he should be, in a crappy position to clearly see it, and the linesman's view was blocked by Gallas.

    The additional official being trialled in the Europa league matches would've been in a perfect position. And the 4th official, given the ability to do so on video, could've overturned it in 3 seconds.

    FIFA. Fuck that shit.

    Gallas wasn't blocking linesman. Henry was next to the post. Gallas was at least 2 yards out.

    Fuck it, whats the point.

    im pretty sure he was offside in addition to handling the ball twice...shame because ireland bossed them in their own backyard.

    two guys were offside too ... let's be brutally honest here - soccer/football on the whole is a very corrupt sport ... it's like figure skating ...

    they revamped the rules arbitrarily to give countries like France and Portugal the best chance to get in ... and now, they blatantly missed 3 calls ...

    this thing is totally on the refs and FIFA ... henry admitted he handed the ball but the game in it of itself is about what you can get away with ... that's the way the game has been played for years ... it's not his fault the ref didn't call it ...

    Not only was it a blatant handball that the linesman should have seen, but it was offside aswell. Absolutely despicable decision. The FAI are calling for a rematch. I doubt we'll get it, but it has happened before. I'm absolutely gutted. Ireland were the far better team last night and deserved to go through.

    “I will be honest, it was a hand ball. But I’m not the ref,” Henry said. “I played it. The ref allowed it. That’s a question you should ask him.”

    Asked if he regretted the handball, he replied: “No, no, we’re qualified.”

    what a tool! i cheated but since the refs didn't see it, it didn't happen...what an asshole

    did jordan push off on byron russell? ... at least he didn't try to say "god" did it ... i'm not saying he should be proud of it but the reality is (especially in team sports) that you try and get away with things and he did ...

    Big push on Facebook to get a replay.

    Ireland outplayed France throughout, to go home on a play like that is disgraceful. FIFA should do the right thing, disallow goal, red card Henry and start the game from where the illegal goal was scored.

    i would say that there is a slight difference between those two plays
