If ever there was a case for a match to be replayed on the basis of video evidence then this was it. Thierry Henry handles the ball before crossing to William Gallas.
This act of cheating put France into the 2010 World Cup at Ireland's expense.
Let's remind ourselves what Henry said after Arsenal's Champions League final defeat by Barcelona in 2006: 'I expected the referee to do his job. I don't think he did.'
What will Uefa president, and former France captain, Michel Platini make of this? He usually has plenty to say. Let's wait and see.

ReplyDeleteThere are dozens of matches every month that are just as deserving (or undeserving) of a replay as this. Players cheat all the time, every week, whenever they can get away with it. If you want to start replaying matches, where will you stop? Or is it just that this one is a World Cup qualifier?
