It seem that the Irish are annoyed that they may have been knocked out of the World Cup by a refereeing error or by some blatant French cheating.
Apparently Thiery Henri handled the ball twice to set up a goal that did for the Paddies. Twice  eeek: To be sure, to be sure presumably.

Well at least he hasn't yet claimed it to be the "Hand of God" like that little dago st*t Diego Maradona against England in 1986.

I was watching it.

Disgraceful.

Looked at the FIFA site earlier, but could not find anywhere to vent my spleen.

FIFA are only interested in lining their pockets.
Changed the rules when it looked like the "big" nations might not qualify for S Africa.
