So we all know what happened last night - there is no need for commentary on the match itself, the result and who is right and wrong. My sentiments go to our Irish gooners who were disappointed with what happened last night but some of the comments in the press have been massively disproportionate.
Great post. Thierry Henry is and always will be an Arsenal legend, most probably our best ever player. I'm privileged to have witnessed his time in red and white, to have been behind so many goals where his brilliance made us arguably the best side in the world. Not only did he do this for us, he did it with commitment and a huge respect for the club and fans.
One instinctive handball changes nothing.
Terry Henry
Everyone bashing Henry is a hypocrite. Next time you speed on the freeway, just go straight to the police and dob yourself in. When you do a half-arsed job at work and cover it up to make it look better, sack yourself. Its exactly what you are asking Henry to do. Aiden McGeady is one of the biggest cheats around and dont get me started on Keane. I never heard a boo out of FIFA or Trappatoni calling everyone cheats and asking for a replay when Grosso dived to win a penalty fo Italy against Australia in the 90th minute. Get over it. Ireland were unlucky and were not good enough to go through. To win games you need to score goals and Ireland were guilty of wasting a stack of chances. Gallasking - Gallas had the 2nd best view of the handball and obviously knew it was. Why are you not calling Gallas a cheat for not owning up as well. You are an idiot!

Agree with you..the comments have been hugely biased..as you would expect in England. Henry will always be King !!!!! At least the French have the potential to go thru to the semi finals, the Irish, sorry to say, would have been just making up the numbers. As a neutral, am perfectly happy how things turned out.
gallasking

Ireland are a small nation and as you've seen most World Cups we aint at them. Last night meant something big to us to the whole of Ireland its something that makes are Summer and man I loved Henry he killed me when he left for Barca and now he's dead to me. Did you watch the game did you see how the Irish played with Heart and Honor and to be sucker punched like that by an offside and a Handball! Come on he did what he did and let the bashings be harsh and continue! Sad day for Football and sad day for someone who should've been a Legend forever!

Oh get over it everyone. We've all seen the same thing happen week in week out, from the worl cup down to Sunday mornings on Hackney marshes. Yes it was harsh on a brave Irish effort, but they squandered a hat full of chances to make that goal irrelevant. Dont crucify one player for getting away with a refereeing error and a bit of good fortune. The Irish would have taken a goal like that, as would we all.
