Back to the soccer

Just following up on my earlier post about the football. Ireland lost their World cup dreams in South Africa when Thierry Henry double hand balled and then the French scored. This made them victorious. Television replay after replay showed this to be true. The French player admitted it after the game.
The Irish football association demanded a rematch which was the only fair thing to do. This was denied by FIFA.
I have lived through similar incidents before albeit in another sport and country.
You can bet your bottom dollar that if it had been Ireland as the culprit and not France. The rematch would have been allowed.
I do hope FIFA get their act together and the World cup next year in South Africa, is not won by cheating because a referee was unsighted. Those times have changed.

It is a slightly irreverent look at my original pre tournament assessment and my views on the dreaded Irish mini budget due out on Tuesday. This will not be a happy day. Count down in three days, so stay tuned.
