Football NOW Needs, Technoligy..

[Bill]

let the result stand but ban the cheat for 6 months, it would stop cheating dead.

football needs bad decisions. The day football becomes an exact science, is the day I'd probably lose interest.

We cannot have it.

Cheats Prosper again.

An incredible career now blemished.

He will be remembered for that now.

He is a disgrace.

Felt sorry for the ref, he had a great game, but the linesman on the far side couldn't have seen it.

Tonight is one occasion where the "these things even themselves out" excuse cannot be used, wonder if it had gone the other way would Platini have found a way to get France through??

FIFA gave them two chances and they still had to cheat to qualify.

How did Dunne not t**t Henry at the end when he sat down next to him?

Part of the problem really, cheats should be alienated by proper professionals.

Stuff the handshake and "well played old chap" at the end of the match.

Another example for the need of video technology, realistically how long would it take for the ref to ask the 4th official to look on the monitor and then report back, 10-12 seconds if that maybe?

It should be introduced soon as, Ireland weren't robbed and unlucky, they were CHEATED, I've always liked thierry henry but after tonight he's gona down in my estimation, he knew what he had done and he still had the decency to lark around the pitch after the game smiling and carrying on like nothing happened.

If i was the ireland manager i would of gone on the pitch at the end and told all the players not to shake hands with the french players and to make their way over to the ireland fans.

Disgrace.

There are being dignified on the pitch. Behind closed doors the squad have just pissed all over the french suits in their dressing room.

I can kind of see Dunne's reaction though, surely even through the fog of rage he will see that Henry is about to be crucified by the global media. Henry is going to be slaughtered and rightfully so and he's all on his own now. There is no defending what he did and anyone who would be foolish enough to do so will see just as much scrutiny.
