We were robbed last night.

[Mackie]

My beloved Republic of Ireland were robbed last night of a place in the 2010 World Cup by a dumbass referee

Thiery Henry handleled the ball twice before passing onto Gallas who scored the equaliser in the 104th minute of the game. The final whistle went 2 minutes later and sent my lads packing!!

Thiery Henry admitted to handlling the ball twice, he then said "It is not my responsibility to ref the game" I do agree with him, I always say play to the whistle, the ref was right there.

It amazes me how one dumbass can have an impact on a nation who has played their hearts out to get to SA in 2010.

Now who the hell am I going to suip Guiness with

 

"Ireland, Ireland together standing tall!!!!"

"Shoulder to shoulder, we will answer Irelands call"

[Veloce]

 

You could always come over to my place and I'll introduce you to Grappa while we support the Azzuri. (World champions 4 times already)

Two of my favourite players last night Keane and Henry, so just wanted to see a good game, but after that incident Henry has lost serious credibility.

They wouldnt have made it past round 1 in anycase. So the ref just spared you the extra heart ache.

I just read the whole thing on News24....amazing in this day and age that between the ref and his assistants on the field, this can still happen.... ...since MARADONA'S "hand of God" incident actually nothing has happened.....

[Tumbleweed]

it's just as bad as maradona's "hand of god" incident?theirry says: "i'll be honest, it was a handball. but i'm not the ref."

they got to the quarters in 1990

 

And they did so by not winning a single game in the whole tournament..
