Robbie Keane would have done the same

dioforce. 20 November @ 09:19 PM EST
More than enough has been written about the unfortunate turn-of-events when France advanced to the 2010 World Cup at Ireland's behest.
Though Thierry Henry is the culprit, he should not become a villain, nor have his reputation tarnished by what will surely become the omnipresent fine print in his character bio forever. Click to continue reading...

More Hand-y Work

Hillcrest Road 20 November @ 05:18 PM EST
Thierry Henry now says that a replay would be the fair thing, but FIFA won't have any of it. Roy Keane thinks FAI should drop the cause and move on, and France's coach Raymond Domenech seems just happy to have qualified.
The KC Star got in on the act today, as Matt Schofield chimes in on the story, laying out the details for those who haven't yet heard of them and offering a modern-day morality lesson. Click to continue reading...

How Long Until We Forgive Thierry Henry?

WorldCupBlog 20 November @ 02:10 PM EST


Latest development in the already long running Thierry Henry handball incident (or "la main de dieu" as it's being called by some) is that Henry himself thinks a replay is a good idea:

"The fairest solution would be to replay the game but it is not in my control," said the Barcelona striker.

Keane's views on disputed "hand of Henry" goal will lead to further questions about his managerial style...

A Kick in the Grass 20 November @ 01:59 PM EST
Even the most die-hard Roy Keane supporter will surely have been left dismayed following the Ipswich Town manager's rant over France's midweek winner in that World Club qualifying second-leg play-off. The infamous "hand of Henry" goal led to Ireland's elimination and not surprisingly comparisons have been made with Maradona's 1986 "hand of god" goal. Click to continue reading...

Weekend previews

Sanford's Soccer Net 20 November @ 12:03 PM EST
Shockingly there's a full weekend of soccer action about to start. I know, how can that be?!?! Have the authorities lost their minds? With Thierry Henry roaming the streets, handling a ball, destroying a nation's economy, causing cancer and eating children, it's hard to believe European governments are allowing people out of their houses.

The Hand Of Henry: An Irish Perspective

EPL Talk 20 November @ 10:48 AM EST

I thought I should jump in on this issue while the water is still warm and explain an Irish view of Wednesday's larceny. In Ireland we do not do football dramas in small measures, Roy Keane's walkout at the 2002 World Cup practically sparked a civil war and now the 'Hand of Henry' has turned into a diplomatic incident.

Roy Keane terrifies more journalists in his press conference

Off the Post 20 November @ 09:46 AM EST
NB. Turn your phone off before attending Ipswich press conference Roy Keane's latest press conference proved to be rich pickings for the journos in attendance. Not only was he very outspoken in his criticism of the Republic of Ireland's protests over Thierry Henry's handball, he also took the opportunity to petrify some of the hacks.

The video that proves the Republic of Ireland can have no complaints, according to Roy Keane

Off the Post 20 November @ 08:39 AM EST
Should Georgia get a replay? Roy Keane reckons the Republic of Ireland could not have expected their game against France to be replayed on the grounds of Thierry Henry's handball. The Ipswich manager launched a scathing attack against the Football Association of Ireland for their protests following the match, and accused them of hypocrisy on the [.

Soccer to fair play: Drop dead

Soccer Source 20 November @ 07:25 AM EST
To echo our host's views on this, what took place between France and Ireland on Wednesday night really was a travesty. And lo and behold, here to rub salt in still-fresh wounds is soccer's top authority, FIFA.
For those who don't know, FIFA is about as honest, fair-minded and interested in bettering the world as your average African dictator -- and even that's probably an insult to African dictators. Click to continue reading...

The Friday Five: Footballing Heartbreakers

SoccerLens 20 November @ 02:47 AM EST

In the wake of Ireland's heartbreaking aggregate defeat to France, where Thierry Henry's handballed assist for William Gallas to score an equaliser in extra time denied a team who had performed magnificently to haul themselves level, we pay tribute to five of the greatest footballing heartbreakers in recent memory.

Nani on his way to Italy.

Manchester United Dugout 15 November @ 10:34 AM EST
2 days. That's the time Fergie took to seal the fate of Nani. Recently, Nani had a stupid public outburst against Sir Alex Ferguson and it is rumoured that the Portuguese may be on his way to Italy. The Portuguese winger did not mince his words in an interview with a newspaper and that has probably left Ferguson furious. Click to continue reading...

100 Best Players of the Decade

The Offside - Arsenal 08 November @ 04:17 PM EST

The Offside's Main Page decided to compile a list of the "100 Best Players of the Decade." I thought it might be of some interest to you, especially since Arsenal is out of action for a couple of weeks. It was voted on by all of the Offside's bloggers, as well as readers. I will say that I thought the criteria was a little vague it was simply to name the 20 best players who played in the decade.

“United Players Were S**t Scared Of Keano”

Republik Of Mancunia 27 October @ 07:28 AM EST

Andy Goram came to Manchester United on loan during the 2000-2001 to help us out during a time when our other goalies, Fabien Barthez and Raimond Van der Gouw, were unavailable Barthez on duty with the French side and Van der Gouw struggling with injury.

Naive Ireland Learn Valuable Lesson

Football Digest 12 October @ 10:15 AM EST

Late Drama

It was the sort of goal that you would expect the team leading 2-1, rather than those chasing the game at the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline, to get. Catching the opposition out on the break with a swift counter-attack in the 90th minute to put the gloss on a convincing 3-1 triumph.

Wayne Rooney is still adamant it was an accident.
