I think mostly the referees are good. I think of one loves a particular star one always finds reasons and we ourselves find reasons for our own actions too! I think mostly the referees are good.

While it could have been a reflex action (and most probably was) as the ball was about to go out of play, any player could have done the same thing. I blame the referee and the linesman. How on earth did they miss this one, at such a crucial stage of the game with a do-or-die situation for both teams? But to be fair to the officials, it wasn't an easy one, was it? The handball is visible only from certain angles, and we have the benefit of slow motion. Perhaps the officials geniunely missed it. Then the blame lies with FIFA. There must be a system of video evidence and replays to avoid such controversies, especially in crucial matches like these where a single wrong decision can mean so much. I'm all for video replays being brought into the game, even if it slows things down a bit. I mean, players and teams should have a chance of appealing such obviously incorrect decisions, especially in such a crucial game like this. As for Henry, his initial reactions after the goal were a disgrace, but it's a good thing he accepted his mistake... but he had no chance at all hiding it as the entire world can see this. And now, he should keep his mouth shut instead of saying nonsense. Is this a conspiracy by FIFA to get their largest earners to the WC? It probably isn't... but I guess Ireland have a right to ask for a replay. FIFA's response would determine the future of the game in the absence of video evidence. Makes more of a case to rush in the video replays into the game. :-) It’s crystal clear that there was a handball in there… it doesn’t seem to be an accidental handball, Thierry used his hand to control the ball.

It is always possible that the French <i>might</i> have, seconds later, still scored. It is possible that even without the hand, the French <i>could</i> still have scored. But the fact is that they scored and won by breaking a rule, and the Irish were cheated out of something. FIFA says it can't be undone, but it should. Football, and qualifying for the World Cup, means too much to too many people, and perhaps a re-match should be considered. Just shows us that when sports bodies get too big for their own good, the sport suffers. Quirky Indian A cheat is a cheat is a cheat.
