in a world of football where coaches are way more likely to be sacked prematurely than too late, domenech still holding his job is amazing. not only has france performed worse than they should in every championship cept 2006, but he's crazy to boot. | ||

he'd be remembered as the most mannered player in the world if he did tell the referee, but he'd risk _knocking his country out of the world cup_. that's some pretty damn strong motivation there.. | ||

It's the damn World Cup. Anyone would have done it. There is no team/player in the world who would want to miss it. | ||

Yes, I am just so god damn bitter because I have to wait another 4 years to try to see Ireland qualify out of such a difficult group. Getting eliminated by a team I hate (France) on a bullshit nocall handball does not help. FIFA last minute seeding and bias for big teams does not help me either. | ||

Incidents like this make me wonder why FIFA still doesn't allow video refereeing. | ||

While Henry's assist was rotten and disheartening, and I don't really buy that it was a reflex or unconscious reaction, the onus in that situation is entirely on the referees. It's not for the players to police themselves. It was just maddening because I felt like Ireland played a solid game, and certainly outplayed a French team that didn't even seem particularly concerned about winning. A dispassionate performance, to say the least, but such is life and there's no reason to stay upset about something that will never change. | ||

Irish supporters have every right to be upset because they were robbed, they wouldn't have a reason to complain if the goal was fair. Bad refereeing can be changed if video technology is introduced. | ||

Five minutes later, France skipper Thierry Henry won the match for the hosts when his angled pass amid a goalmouth scramble was met by the head of Wiliam Gallas. The goal enabled France to qualify and avoid a repeat of their humiliating failure, at the hands of Bulgaria, to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup finals. http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1136804.html#gallas breaks irish hearts | ||

On the other hand, wonderful for Slovenia. And we all know France will draw some obscure African or Asian side, totally underestimate them, and flub out in the pools. So don't worry too much. | ||

It's not for the players to police themselves. this is pretty much it. the thing is, all players constantly feel that there are loads of decisions that go against them. thus, when the referee wrongly decides something to their favour, it just feels like they're evening things out. there are some examples of players policing themselves and telling the referee when they wrongly get favoured by the referee - fowler deliberately missing a penalty after telling the referee it wasnt a penalty and the referee not reverting his decision is one, and that's awesome. but I can't recall a single incident where a player did that when the goal was of actual importance. | ||
