Thierry Henry is Irelands most hated man – but I think this is FIFAs fault, because a replay should have been granted. The referee was blind to 2 hand balls and 2 players being offside.

The World Cup is now a damaged competition as a result as is Henrys reputation.

[...] not the France skipper’s brilliance or blistering pace which caused such excitement, but a blatant handball which was missed by Swedish referee Martin Hansson seconds before the Barcelona superstar crossed [...]

Look, it was a handball, he cheated, no question about it. Would I have preferred he didn’t do it? Of course. Is it the only reason Ireland didn’t qualify for the World Cup? No. Thierry is now Ireland’s most hated man, there are Facebook groups and websites with Guestbooks where you can register and call him whatever name you want, but for me it’s a real shame that professional sports writers are talking about Henry ruining his reputation as if this is what defines his career.

You had pundits last night, players who actually played the game, who suggested that Henry should have told the ref he’d handled it. Seriously! As if they would have when they were playing. As if an Irish player would have if he’d done it. The soapboxing was unreal and, frankly, bullshit. For anyone who has played the game – AT ANY LEVEL – to say that they would have told the referee they handled it out of good sportsmanship is a liar. And when World Cup qualification is on the table? Give me a break.
