Well you were robbed but it seems FIFA acted as insurers and paid out in full!

I can see we'll have months of revelations

I would have preferred if Henry got a retrospective ban.

^ Agreed. A great player but blotted his copybook when he did it. Probably why it was so shocking at the time

It was also blatant so no one could really excuse it, but somehow they did.

Sadly FIFA probably preferred France to qualify. Wonder what would have happened if an Irish player had done it. Bet you would have been made to replay the tie

That suspicion was doing the rounds. It's also a pity sky hired Henry validading him all over again wish he would just go away for awhile

Va va Voom!

if robbie keene had the skill or brains to do what henry did the irish would've made him a saint!

Undoubtedly. They even changed the rules before those play offs began. Originally they said there would be no seeding, but then they realised that France and Germany could meet and decided there were going to be seedings after all to make sure they didn't. A total fix.
