As an Irishman I shall be cheering France to glory in the world cup finals in South Africa. I hope they beat England in the quarter final, Argentina in the semi final and then just to top it all off Brazil in the final. My ultimate dream would be for Tierry Henry to score the winning goal in the final. What a great victory that would be for the beautiful game. The idiots who run FIFA will have to live for four long years with a country as world champions who got there by cheating. And the scorer of the winning goal none other than the greatest cheat of all. Blatter would be choking, they would never live it down and their hypocritical and farcical fair play campaign would blow up in their stupid ugly faces. Blatter could aways revive the idea of lady footballers with shorter shorts, great one that.

Long live the Republic.

All of you who blame Thierry Henry, where were you on 11-2-2009 when Ireland won Georgia thanks to an absurd penalty? Should that match be replayed too? Who complained then? Certainly not any of those who do now…
The video of that unexisting penalty is available on youtube:

To hear so many footballers past and present say that Henry is not to blame, that any player would do it is disgraceful. Dishonesty is dishonesty. If Henry thinks the referree needs to see cheating for it to be cheating tells me a lot about the man. Top players make dream salaries for doing what the rest of us do for nothing on Sundays but fun. They get their money from fans ticket, shirts, cable tv etc. They need to cop on and realise that the least they owe us is an honest effort.

Henry should have told the ref and asked for disallow of the goal. It’s obvious to see him touched the ball deliberately. What a disgrace…

Zindane will be remembered as the headbutter, Henry the cheat … two great French footballers who have tarnished their outstanding careers by moments of madness.

omg so annoyed at the moment cant believe ireland are out…was just lookin at thiery henrys twitter page where i found two interesting things….1 he says “im not the referee… but if i hurt some one im sorry ” ….2.one of the four people he follows is diego maradona.(ironic)…well anyway went onto his page where he says “@Thierry_Henry I know how it feels! see you in south africa”….i think they should learn some sportsmanship…especially maradona sayin that his page is http://twitter.com/Diego_Maradona
…it feels so much better now that i have given out,…but it doesnt change that ireland are out and the whole of the country is dissapointed especially when the lads played so well…..

Henry is not professional and not honest… What a shame, will be remembered as “The Soccer Cheater”
Ana FIFA… won’t do anything… I hope this incident don’t let Mr. Blatter sleeps for a very long long time!!!

Henry doit mourir!!!

I hope the game is replayed. It is simply outrageous that the Irish should miss out due to scum bag cheats.

shocking… Henry will feel sick as a dog over this and so he should. How refreshing and admirable would it have been if he had immediately admitted to the ref and prevented the goal from regsiering!
