How much would you want to bet if the ball was on the other hand and say Robbie Keane handballed the ball pushing it onto another Irish player for a goal to make it 2-0 that Fifa would be jumping up and down forcing a replay, and doing anything to get france in.

 

FIFA - French International Football Aid ;)

Common', I think a replay would be fair, but it hardly ever happen, it's such a huge organisation to replay a game !

ah sure,

you needs to be good at soccer when you're amazing at rugby.

:P

not the best, but pretty great :nice:

This was the funniest story that emerged from the whole affair! It was even featured on Have I Got News For You!!:lol:

Irish Snub ‘Henry’ Vacuum Cleaners in Football Protest

 

November 23, 2009 by Simon Tingle

 

 

A nation takes its anger out on the vacuum with an unfortunate name.

With anger over ‘that handball’ still at boiling point, the Irish have turned their frustration towards a vacuum cleaner brand.

It seems that the smiley-faced cleaner known as ‘Henry’ is being persecuted due to it sharing the same name as the French striker Thierry Henry.

A worker at an Irish government building in Dublin told The Sun: “Several cleaners say they’re unhappy working with vacuum cleaners with the cheat’s name written on them.

“It’s bizarre because the machines have nothing whatsoever to do with Thierry Henry.

“Some have painted over the name on the cleaner and wiped the smile off its little red face.

“It just shows how the frustration caused by that goal has got to everyone in Ireland.”

The sales of the Henry vacuum cleaners have also reportedly taken a dip in Ireland since the controversial handball goal saw the country fail to qualify for the 2010 World Cup.

Last week saw both the Irish Captain Robbie Keane, and Thierry Henry himself, call for a replay of the controversial play-off match.

With innocent vacuum cleaners now also caught in the firing line, will justice be allowed to prevail?

ah sure,

you needs to be good at soccer when you're amazing at rugby.

:P

not the best, but pretty great :nice:

Rugby rules. O' Driscoll, O' Gara and co FTW!

I am ashamed I lol'd at one of those pics, it was the Science of Sleep one, the rest were dreadful.

 

Rugby is a sport for ****s.
