  • Sure, it was a handball. We all know BUT are you telling me that if you could, you wouldn't do it? And to score, you wouldn't celebrate? Diving is of the same nature, they made the fault and they sold it perfectly. So...if the ball hit your hand, you would just stop and walk away? From a scoring position? Let's get real here..

  • @Drizzy829 EXACTLY. Henry claims it was a mistake, but who knows. BUT if one knows that they got away with it, then of course he's gonna celebrate, just like any other footballer would.

  • as if us irish need remi nding of that terrible moment

  • as if us irish need remi nding of that terrible moment in soccer history

    UP SSLIGO FOR SAM MAGUIRE!

  • @skylightgal Up the Kingdom!

  • irland-armenia who look that game berezovsky dont play handball fk ituralde gonzales

    

  • wow shay given looks really short in that video.

  • I lost so much respect for Henry that day, he spent a whole career building up an image of a fair player and ruined it all in the blink of an eye...

  • im from ireland so that really annoyed me

  • song name????????

  • Stuff like this will keep happening unless refs use cameras. Football is dying thanks to situations like this and there is only one solution to make the game a fair one again.

  • most hated he should be shot for that i went to france fo holday antd the many people sais sory to me for that was unreal

  • regardless of handball or not, talk about quick reactions!

  • cheaters

    

  • i feel bad for trappatoni cheated out of 2 world cups

  • obviously a handball and the goal should not have been allowed...but this is absolutely shocking defending from ireland. a lofted ball in from just about midfield is allowed to bounce in the 6 yard box? and then they just stand there with their hands up rather than defending the cross?

  • @10YNWA10 CORRECTION: shocking defending from paul mcshane, but what else do ye expect from paul

  • WHAT is dis song oO

  • This song is good any one know what it is lol

  • I am irish and when that happened i was very dissapointed because we were playing just as good as france in that match and we couldve got through if it wasnt for henrys handball and to celebrate the goal after handballing it is just wrong!

  • henry.........your still a legend!! if you can beat 'em cheat 'em. its not like ireland would of won anything anyway.

  • @zdillz Frace did great though after getting through though, right?

  • @zdillz ha you tosser :L

    

  • It's not right but it's no more cheating than diving or shirt pulling.

  • this could be hand of god?

  • I am neither Irish or French but that was just disgusting, henry you cunt

  • @disposablegloves123 So if your in a world cup final. 0-0 golden goal. You can do a handball but that is the only thing that could save your team and take them to victory. You wouldn't do it? Idiot....

  • THE HAND OF FROG

  • France; a national football team which never deserves succes...

  • England v argentina maradona actually jumps in the air and punches the ball in the goal scores with his hand knocks england out of the world cup not a qualifier the actual thing england v portugal euro 2004 sol campbell scores perfectly fine header last minute goal dissalowed actual tournament not qualifier england v germany lampard scores clearly to make it 2-2 goal not given world cup actual thing not qualifier .

    REALLY IRELAND? are use really complaining over this try being english.

  • @501dannyk Yes, and look at how famous that incident is? Pretty much everyone that watches football knows of the Hand of God. This isn't as bad but still pretty damn bad. Especially since Ireland don't have as good of team as England and getting in the World Cup would be a big achievement.

  • meh , First of all it did not deny Ireland a victory because it would have gone to penalties. Secondly, the refs missed a blatant penalty on the same play when squillacci got pulled out of the air.

  • theswaxx . your a retard mate. handball is a foul end off.

  • This is a waste because France did shitty in the World Cup anyway.

  • that was a risck of his career to save his team..

    great player.. that all :P

  • celebrating the goal is just fking disgusting

  • @knottyboy20 Celebrating a wold cup's qualification isn't normal? You're strange...

    Anyway, I think that this foul is not really the problem, every team cheat, but the FIFA still does'nt want to help refs with video so...

  • @knottyboy20 o yeah like u will score a goal and do not celebrate.. Kinda obvisious fake then rofl

  • france sucks and their fans cheering for a cheap goal

  • And now after their disgusting performance in the World cup, the Irish must feel even more cheated.

  • if i was henry i would have not said anythink play to the refrees whisle

  • DISGRACE

  • its just funny when henry does it

  • im irish!!! all france did when they got to the finals was fight with each other... i bet if we irish got there the players would of represented us well and gave it their all..

  • im irish and i think any player would of done the same thing but it was a bad 1 dho

  • Ireland will get their revenge next summer...I think they have a better team than the England boys.

  • Didn't know Karl Pilkington did refereeing

  • Thing is, professional football is not about integrity at all. There's room for money laundering, results manipulation and diving in everyday football so yeah... I love playing the game but professional football is generally a fucking disgrace.

  • Wie unsportlich kann man eigentlich sein. Das ist einfach nur assi und danach noch ausgelassen feiern. Unsympathisch ohne Ende.

    Zum Glück gibt es doch einen Hauch von Gerechtigkeit, dass die Franzosen bei der WM derart versagt haben.

  • completely owned

  • I think we can all agree Henry was actually reaching for the white flag from his pocket.

  • @CelticWizard113

    Haha you can crack a french surrender joke, you're well funny hahahahaa. Honestly, how did you ever get to be so ORIGINAL?

    Bet mommy must be very proud her son.

  • even if the handball was given the ireland keeper still should have tried to save the shot so it is really shay givens fault they went out.

  • Seriously the closest Ireland are to winning any world cup, Is the Quidditch world cup...

  • @IzPk

    Ooh whens that on.

  • and its only gave France 1st round exit

  • Liking the music ;D

  • does it matter that Thierry Henry did a hand ball cuz ireland wouldn't have made it far cuz...no offense ireland's is not that great in soccer anyways.

  • @MrFreshjerry We would have made it farther than France, anyway. Dirty cheating bastards were even flamed by the commentators...

  • And this time, Ireland cheated against Armenia to go to the Euro (watch Ireland/Armenia 2011) but nobody hear them anymore, that's weird... Don't you want to replay the game this time??

  • Henry was caught red handed but who cares? He's still a legend.

  • french cheaters and their nose picker of a manager

  • HENRY, what a legend!!

  • this was the worst french team i have ever seen

  • 1. there were two hand balls

    2. there was an off side

    3. henry is fag because he prosperously committed a hand ball, and it made a huge effect(french are known for liking balls)

    4. henry is even gayer for playing it off like he did nothing wrong

  • @bosnia241 When did he ever say he did nothing wrong? He admitted it after the game, and said he did it for his country.

  • ireland would have gotten further than france and france should have been given minus 15points for that henry should have had a 3 match ban

  • as a Canadian, my country upholds both British and French customs, but i want Ireland to kick France's ass in Euro 2012.

  • hahaha fuk ireland thank god a better team like france went through

  • Justice was served in the World Cup when Mexico eliminated France.

  • vaya robo!!

  • DISGRACE

  • brilliant :D

  • ไอ้เกรียน............

  • it would be the sweetest thing to face them in the quarter finals at euro 2012

  • ireland, bosnia lol who is nekt :S por france...  I hate France!

  • @MrEdisF tu as bien raison !!!

  • this is we you get videoref! like in rugby!

  • typical french behave , what else can you expect from such dirty nasty frogs ??

    The only time these lousy gays had a bit of class was when there was someone called Michel Platini , the only outclass french player , x all the rest the french are only a bunch of ridiculous comediants and pathetic midgets !!

    They cheated in the 2006 World Cup final too all the ways , since that fake penalty

    to the last comedy by fuckin' coward headbutter zidane , so no worry x this last cheat of theirs !!

  • @Trulyloyale are you that dumb. so zidane wasnt at the level of platini? shut up about cheats aswell, every country/team does it. bet i can name an instance when ur team has cheated so bore off

  • lol at the irish players, if they weren't too busy raising their hands up like a bunch of faggots then maybe they would've stopped gallas from scoring

    anyway roflollooololololololololololo­lololololoo

  • Hand of frog!

  • sad day...

  • france are disgraceful and will never win a football tournament again

  • @xzelda07 what team do u support/ what country are u from.coz im sure i can name an instance when they have cheated, so pipe down!

  • It is stupid to compare the ireland and bosnia cases. France-Ireland was clearly a cheat by Henry and most of us feeled ashamed for our team.

    This match was a playoff, not like the match against Bosnia who was the last of the qual.->the penalty was there and France did not cheated his way all along the qual. match to be at that rank

    daftever is 100% wright, mainy teams had benefits of the mistakes of referees in the past, just look at maradona's hand or that uruguayan player in 2010

  • god stop whining about henry's hand...Just take a look at ireland georgia 2010 and ireland armenia 2011. Ireland cheated on both games but you all stfu about it...

  • wank music

  • If I was Given I would have skulled Henry.

  • If the Irish No.13 hadn't allowed the ball to bounce Ireland might well have qualified. It's a schoolboy mistake for any defender to allow the ball to bounce inside your own area.

  • @feindhortmit What? Does that suddenly justify Henry's handball? I agree he shouldn't have let it bounce, but that doesn't make Henry look any better.

  • Because if Robbie Keane did it, he would definitely have owned up.

  • frogs.

  • This is why I hate France!

  • People from Ireland talking about the Integrity of the game being tarnished and then you watch the qualifiers like yesterday against Estonia with a blatant dive from an Irishman to get a penalty. I'm not hating on the Irish I'm just saying that all teams do what they can to win and it's silly for Irish people to act like their team is somehow more moral than say the french team was here.

  • @Minkki82 You're making a big deal about a penalty in the 89th minute when they were already 3-0 ahead? Ah cop on to yourself.

  • @neilwe

    it's a two-legged play-off, so every goal matters. besides, 2 red cards were shown to estonians. obviously you got help from the referee. i felt sorry for irish when you didn't qualify to the world cup, but now i understand that you're not better than the french.

  • @Kuperjanov89 . Player for player of course we`re not better than the french,every irish fan knows that. but on that day we were and deserved to win. Sadly this shit happens in football. Ireland got on with it. and done the job this time around. The Estonian players deserved to go, the ref didnt do his job 2 years ago in france but he did this time.

  • @Minkki82 you're a prick plain and simple...or english either or

  • @Minkki82 they were probably very pissed because this was for getting into the World Cup.

  • @Minkki82 Durrr Ireland had Estonia well beaten you dim-witted fuck

  • @conorhaugh1 Which makes cheating for a goal even worse. Diving for a penalty is JUST as bad as handballing.

  • @Minkki82 but mate just hang on one sec i can tell your not irish, this guy was doing the handball for a goal which is very vital, those other irish guys were may or may not doing dives for just a free kick or a penalty which they could've missed, and get this, thierry henry you prick. he sed he didnt handball it and then bloody years later he sed he did handball it! hes just a selfish, unsportsman like man who just does all this for money and publicity

  • @Minkki82 try waiting a decade to get back into a serious competition and then youll understand why the thing was so huge to us

  • Looking back on this, once again I am reminded of the THREE terrible decisions - offside at the moment of the pass into the penalty area; the handball of course, and.............Gallas actually scores the goal with his upper arm/shoulder! Freeze it at 40 and 41 seconds, the ball brushes his cheek/face and hits the upper arm.

  • nice music lol

  • What did they do to Bosnia?

  • Ireland im sorry for you :(

    look what theydid to us, Bosnia :/

  • Why is this still being debated? Is France even relevant to football anymore...?

  • @Seanzo420

    They are World cup winners and should've won it in 2006 plus they had two of the best players in the history of Football while England's best player is Shrek LOL

  • the referee look's like the guy of an idiot abroad haha!!

  • nice nba crossover

  • no Zidane no France

  • ... and then he spent the wc on the bench... crazy story

  • Listen all this shit about stop whining to the Irish and stop crying well then if this is the case then LEAVE US ALONE AND SUCK IT UP THE ALL BLACKS BEAT YOUS...:))

    FRENCHY HOMOS OVER HERE TELLING THE IRISH STOP CRYING BUT ALL OVER THE RUGBY WORLD CUP PORING THEIR TEARS OUT ABOUT CHEATING LMFAO

  • If i was Given i would of kicked the shit out of Henry

  • it's all part of the sport ... stop whining.!

  • @torontothegood Its very hard not to though!!!!!!!

  • Haha you little idiots sad cuz you lost. What's funny is that your all hypocrites. Wanna know why? If that was Ireland you'd think he's a god for do that yet when it isn't you cry about it. If you have ever played in a team sport you should know that you and your team would do anything to win. Yet because of all this ruckus the refs blindness didn't see it so don't be blaming the players blame the refs for not letting Ireland get into the world cup !!!!!

  • Shut up whining paddies lol...it wasn't that bad!

  • imagine if we were unseeded and met these froggy cheating pricks again.. awh that wud have been sweet, surely it wud have given the boys in green an incentive to win the match!

  • no 'handball' ... clean goooooal!

  • Henry shuld have been banned from football for this and also gone to jail for life carrying out a life sentence for fraud

  • @kevcarspray Your an idiot kid, its football , not murder.

  • I was actually hoping we would be unseeded so we would get to go back to Paris, and in a totally uncharacteristic show of strength, trounce the bastards. :P

  • shame in them

  • Hah. Ireland and their endless whining.

  • @St3v3z Yeah, like we never hear about Maradonas goal against England.

  • @okee9 who cares maradona's goal? one mistake can't be overlooked again, fifa should start alowwing the usage of technology or we are in favor of the cheats. What a horrible example you just mention, thanks to that gol argentina defeated england and eventually was the champion of the world cup. Look at the consecuences now, he doesnt accept he was a cheat and furthermore he and his whole country think HE was the greatest player ever!! is that fair to you? oh please dude gimme a break

  • fck the france viva irland and bosnia

  • It's amazing how the referee allowed both an offside and a handball. Ridiculous.

  • What for... for nothing... ridiculous World Cup for France

  • FIFA/UEFA bureaucracy is not interested in video replays.

    Blatter must go.

  • The music is hilarious! 

  • hate him

  • I'm actually glad they went on the world cup, just so they could properly embarrass themselves :)

  • @dario0807 i agree. they act like they are awesome for standing up to their coach and not playing and leaving. then they lose all their games, even to south africa and made themselves a laughing stock.

  • @dario0807 what would irealend do if they would go to the world cup NOTHING

  • Bosnia weist wie ihr euch gefühlt habt, dass selbe pasiert uns gerade auch.

    Wir hofen das Ireland dieses Jahr im EM weiter verdient dabei ist

    PS: Bosnia vs Estonia 7:0 ;)

    F'uck france F'uck platini, UEFA vs BOSNIA 1:1

  • @TheHambo97 It doesnt matter if Cox hand balled it or not. The goalkeeper intentionally stuck his hands up outside the box which is a red card...

  • 1. Offside

    2. Handball

    3. everyone was in the way so the refs couldnt see the handball.

  • i feel good about this i am from Armenia " so if irish had to suffer why did Armenia get that as well so when i see this and i see Irish players suffer i am glad i will probebly do a forum about " irish players suffer dot com that would be lovely And thx hanry :)

  • @bzzdk Armenia would NOT have beat Ireland anyway, you weren't good enough.

  • i think its time to kick those referees in the face,it is really time,we cant just sit and look how smaller countrys even if they're better,lose against Platini

  • France is corrupt,they did same to Bosnia -

  • Unfortunately, I know exactly how did you feel then. :S

    France sucks!

    Greetings from Bosnia! :)

  • FRANCE CHEATING THEIR WAY TO QUALIFY :

    , 2009 - IRELAND

    , 2011 - BOSNIA

    WHO IS NEXT??? PLATINI YOU SUCK!!!

  • the old slogan of uefa: we cared about football,

    and now:

    we care about FRANCE!!!

  • He practically picked the ball up with what I call my non-wanking hand.

  • Dear Irish, If you want to make a point of saying its handball when it is, then you do the same thing.

    Regarding Armenia vs Ireland yesterday.

  • The message for kids playing the game from the highest possible footballing body, cheat if you like, if you get away with it there are no consequences. The world cup, the biggest tournament on earth, how could they allow this to simply just be glossed over. France got their just deserts but we deserved at least a replay. He should have been banned for the whole tournament.

  • Hey Irish people in 2009 what can you say about the simulation of Keane against Georgia? What about yesterday about what you did against ARMENIA? What about a remake like you ask against France ?

    Stupid Irish people

  • damn, france shities, i'm from bosnia, last night, we show that we are good team, btw we cant win platini :O

  • AHAHAh No petition for Cox's Hand against Armenia ? 

  • Hey Irish people, I hope we will (you and Bosnia) be in the same group with France on EURO so we can both beat them and send them back to their fucking France.

    For justice!!!

  • FIFA should be sued for allowing things like this go on. The only reason that they don't implement play review like many other sports is so that they can pull stuff like this off and "save" the bigger, wealthier nations. This is an outrage!

  • Now Ireland did it again after Georgia during 2010 qualifier group, they stole Armenia yesterday with a handball when their (Irelan) player touched the ball with his hand + the referee thought that Armenian goalkeeper made a handball out of his zone.

    We not gonna hear Ireland crypussies whine about the fact that the match needs to be replayed when they fcked Armenia that way ...

  • This is why soccer is a joke of a sport. This shit happens and nothing is done about it. How the hell is there not video review in this sport?

  • shame on uefa and french football. very unsympathic team. playing to get further by all means. very disgusting football. but there's enough good teams to kick you out next year: germany, england, spain.

  • now bosnia !!!!!!!

  • the french are disgusting cheaters.

    at least they won't get far in the tournament again. teams like Spain/Germany/Netherlands will mercilessly wreck their shit.

  • Now look what they did to Bosnia..

  • @wibi1990 I understand you are a BiH supporter bu you have to compare between these two matches as a neutral... In this match Thierry Henry blatantly cheated.... But if you see the match against BiH Samir Nasri did not dive it was a foul and maybe his foot was three to four cms outside the box but for that spot kick you can only blame the referee for that decision... This time no French player cheated...

  • @anshuman1693 it`s not problem with players, we saw that they are not better then Bosnians, it`s problem Platini and referee, even blind person saw that he suporrted France!

  • now they did it again! bosnia was leading 1:0, and then a foul clealry OUTSIDE of the box in the 80th minute, and the ref did give them a penalty, and also many other desicions in favour of france, its so obvious what platini and co. are doing, they can fuck off, fucking mafia

  • tonight, bosnia will kick french ass

  • It was offside as well as handball... Wikipedia explains the France vs Ireland situation the best... Michel François Platini (born 21 June 1955) is a former FRENCH football player, MANAGER and current PRESIDENT of UEFA... Any questions??? I thought so :)

  • still makes me feel physically sick, if this happens in the Euro 2012 playoff whoever we draw i will go nutsssssssss lol

  • lets hope France and Ireland meet in the world cup rugby semi! this time French will be allowed to use their hands

  • no mattter what henry is a legend france should thx him besides sometime you have to do what you have to do!

  • thierry will always be a legend.

  • It's wrong that he handled the ball, but it's also wrong that maradona did, or suarez did, or yes even messi did, but think about it, in the same situation if the irish had the opportunity to do the same to break the tie, youd have to be stupid not to take the chance.

  • Legend thierry !

  • what's this terrible music?!

  • obviously its the refs fault

  • the goalie should've just ran at him with a full force punch to the refs face instead of arguing cause he knew the ref wasnt gonna change his mind.

  • ok lets see C.ronaldo dives and gets cheat freekicks and penalties all the time, so is that cheating?

    Many times referee takes a wrong decision like if player is not offside and in a good one on one situation sometimes linesman gets it wrong and they give it as offside, so is that cheating?

    Its not on players , its on referee to decide at the endof the day, Ireland can make a case or tell referee what happened but at the end of the day its Referee's decision that matters. so stop blaming Henry

  • @yousuf619 ye ronaldo getting frees and penos, this was a 2 touch hand ball like how could he have controlled that he didint even put his leg up

  • ERIN GO BRAGH!!! :D

  • of course he cheated he was playing for barca that time
