Re: R.I.P Fair Play

no words for how disgusting it is

Seconded. I ve always been a great admirer of Henry, but this makes me as sick as I felt when Maradona handballed vs England in 1986.
It sets a great example for all young kids. Why shouldn t I cheat? ....

Platini won t mind though. Hey, France have qualified, that s good enough for him.
Wonder what would have happened if it had been the other way round.......

Seeing as we re talking about Fair Play here..how about a bit of Women s Football in America... surely that s all fair.
This girl has been contracted for the (Un)friendly league .

Ehh nooo wayyyyyy man. WHat fair play ..... Yes it wasnt nice but what do u think .... what Henry can do ? After this hand and goal ?? U think Henry can say : STOP !! IT WAS HAND !! NOTE GOAL ! HA HA HA man its football its mistake games one tame mistake make players, anoter time reffory.

But i dont know u saw yesterday .... after march Henry goes to every Irlnad players .... it was fair (mayby he say sorry mayby give hand).

That s true Foka. He did go to some of the Irish players to apologize.

I hope that the same mark of respect can be shown by the French towards the devastated Irish fans.
That would show real character. We ll see.

I do admit it was a tough decision for him to make.
Imagine what would have happened if he d admitted the handball and France had lost....
Also, think of all the money involved in qualifying. Ireland have lost an awful lot.
Ireland isn t a rich footballing nation. Imagine what that money could have done for (for example) the youth game in Ireland.
That s money they ve been cheated out of.

The whole incident reminds me of an old football story of mine.
I used to be centre forward. In a duel for the ball in the opponents penalty area I was the last one to touch the ball before it went out of play.
I gave the ball to their keeper for a goal kick, the referee signalled for a corner for us.
I told the referee I was the last player to touch the ball so it was a goal kick for them....he almost gave me a yellow card!!!

How many games in history was replay ? How many in history was misteak refory ?

U want replay every games with shitty reforey ?

Here its no problem with Henry and his hand .... problem is bad rules. We have XXI !! We can make replay and technical refore can watching action on tv and give sugestion reforey.

Ok so i ask from another site. Waenae and Ali :

We have play off games :

Germany - Turkey .....

1. In last minutes Hasan Sukur - legendary Turkey player make same hand like Hnery. Turkey goes to World Cup. What u think Ali ? U say : HAKAN CHEATER !! I Want replay ? Dont think so.
2. In last minutes Michael Ballack - Germany star make same hand like Henry. Germany goes to WC. What u think Waenae? U say Ballack u are cheater !! Want replay - dont tknink so.

Yes mayby u think in one sec its littel not fair, poor rivals ... but in next moment u are happy beacouse u team win !!


Waenae u say : He shouldn´t play the ball with his hand!

It was one second ... u are sure he think about fair games in this moment - he touch ball hand and pas, was goal and he celebrate. Easy.


Man seriuos i understand it wasnt nice for Irish players, fans, ppls. I understand it ... but its only football. On Euro in Austria. Poland have importent game vs Austria we lead 1:0 and in 94 ref make fucking misteak and give pen for Austria. End 1:1. And yes i was angry but next days i say shit happens and next time ....
