I reckon everyone has heard bout this, but Im still gonna give my two cents about it. I wanted to update me journal the moment this happened but once again, Im having internet problems. I tell ya, me and technology don't get on well at all.

Now, on November 14th, the Republic of Ireland played against France in the World Cup qualifier play-offs, and we lost, because we were cheated by French captain Thierry Henry, who deliberately handled the ball, not once, but TWICE before he passed it to William Gallas! WTF!! I can tell ya that all of Ireland is raging from this injustice!

Watch this video and you can clearly see Henry handle the ball in the replays. [link] That guy needs to learn to keep his hands to himself!!

Also I don't think many people know this, just before that fecking incident, two of their players were offside. WHERE THE F**K WAS THE REF AND LINESMEN!?! If ever there ever was a reason needed for goal line technology or extra officials, this was it.

What I cant stand is after that deliberate action, he went on cheering after the goal! He didn't feel a bit of remorse for what he did! Oh sure he admitted he handled the ball after the match. Not like he had much choice, everyone saw him do it! And he blames the ref for not seeing the incident. I admit, he had a point there, but he still should have owned up straight away!! And WTF ref!?! How could he not see it!! Especially when it was aired about fifteen seconds after it happened!?! How could he allow that sorry excuse of a goal stand!?! And now Henry is saying that Ireland and France should have a rematch. YA GOT THAT RIGHT FRENCHIE!! The only reason he saying that is to save himself. Its too late for that if you ask me. I'll tell ya now, if this was the other way around and the referee allowed Ireland to knock France out of the play-offs in this fashion FIFA would step in and dis-allow the goal. Henry, FIFA and the officials should be ashamed of themselves.

So yeah, France won, but it wasn't an honorable win.

The Football Association of Ireland had requested a replay after Thierry Henry's clear handball but off course, Fifa has rejected the idea of a rematch between Ireland and France. And the French Football Federation have also rejected the idea. But there is still a debate going on whether to have the rematch.

But that hasn't stopped us. We have petitions, protests and all kinds of stuff going on to have that rematch! If FIFA won't listen then let their sponsors feel the pressure of 240,000 football supporters! And even if they don't listen to us, they'll know we stood together as one to right this injustice!

So here's a question for you guys. Do you think we should have a rematch?
