there were two players on that pitch that played a pivotal role in Irelands defeat and I do not consider Henry to be one of them.
Lloris the French keeper was awesome in both games and if it had not been for him the game(s) would have been won comfortably.
The other is Mc'Shane...The moment O shea hobbled off and Mc'shane stepped onto that pitch I said "This game is lost"
Mc'Shane was in the perfect position both goal and ball side of Henry but somehow miracuoulously out manouvered himself to end up as a spectator OFF the pitch at the side of the goal, the lad is a very VERY poor footballer.
What Henry did was despicable but there was more than one reason Ireland were defeated.
I remember my Granny being up in arms at this Roy Keane 'brat' in 2002 even though she had never watched a game of soccer in her entire life.
As usual though Keane managed to turn around a major incident to be all about him him him.
When it comes to major World cup embarrassments Roy Keane will always and forever be head and shoulders above Henry to the Irish nation. At least Henry had the grace to apologise and admit his wrong doing.

Ipswich have only won 1 match out of 17 so its no surprise that Keane was happy to go on about the FAI. He probably would not want to be reminded of how much better Sunderland are doing this season under Steve Bruce compared to Keane last season.

Cantona came out with a good one ' what I can't believe is that he sat next to the Irish player on the pitch after screwing him over' The English press lve him though so he will get passed it fairly quickly, unlike say Ronaldo who they still refer to as 'the winker'.I see 'Le Cheat' is now claiming that he was thinking about retiring over the pain he caused
Yeah right. Of course you were Thierry.
This wouldn't just be a cynical ploy, exactly like calling for a replay even though your own FA said it would not happen, just to try to get some sympathy and people back on your side again, would it?
Some will say, "Look at him, he comforted the Irish players, said a replay was a fair thing to do and he also thought about quitting - he's not a bad fella".
Pull the other one ya cheating git. Great to hear the Atletic Bilbao fans boo'd him the other night in La Liga. Hope he gets that EVERYWHERE he goes.
