Re: ireland robbed by evil 'enry...
Only reason why so much attention has been given to this thing is because of the importance of the match. To be honest every football match i watch has a few cardinal ref mistakes that directly influence the final outcome, wherther its wrong offside call, or simulation of penalty or unfair play foul that doesent get redcarded...., and i ve used to it, i see it as normal thing that in a way gives charm to the game. Afterall some of the most memorable things i remember came from those kinda controversial ref mistakes. Even tho i should be against it since i m from small country whos clubs got robbed as hell in more than few occasions (just pick a sport), i am not, i like that kinda refereing. However my problem is that those ref mistakes often dont seem accidents because rarely u ll see a ref helps a team like Ireland or some other unattractive team when they play vs France or some other over rated team that just has to be a part of WC.
