The faulty is the referee and moreover the FIFA

As long as they will refuse video assist this will happen.

The IRB or the NFL have long understood this.

Well I would like to give my support to the great nation of France (except the football team, obviously).

We cannot introduce video evidence as this would slow down the game.  Using it in retrospect would also be a mistake as fans would leave a match without being sure of the result.  Madness.  Also, there would be no more discussion of the games like we are having now or the fans on the way home!

It's about time Ireland gave up on this handball rubbish and got on with it.  France deserved to win the game anyway and still had a chance to defend the cross;  Henry never actually scored with his hand.

Meh, doesn't slow the game down much in rugby, tennis etc. As a football fan I would gladly sacrifice this minor delay to get fair results.

Nothing stopping the fourth official having a little TV screen and advising the ref via headphone.

tut tut,forget about it ??? su're we had a few pints of guinness & it was gone in a flash ;) ;) - a bit like Maradonna hand of God in 86 su're you'd never hear about that incident either,nobody ever talks about it ::) ::)BTW, you must have been looking at different games to me coz Ireland were by far the better team over the two legs & I'm not looking through green tinted glasses either 8)

Seriously though,there should be video evidence introduced in soccer,su're you have pre madonnas rolling around the ground with nothing wrong with them already who slow the game up no end & theres nothing wrong with it???Whats the difference with a fourth official who stops to clock for 30 seconds to have a look at an incident which may or may not cost a team a place in the world cup -  it only makes sence to me anyway?

Just heard that USA are meeting Algeria in Pretoria  @ 3pm & England are meeting France at the airport @ 6 :P :P :P

Gosh I hate those who hold their faces in agony when they've been hardly touched on the shoulder!  >:( just to get the other one sent off. And it works most of the time! They don't care if they look like complete twats on the replay, they had what they wanted! Just for that I'm for the use of video

& England are meeting France at the airport @ 6 :P :P :P

Excellent  ;D

Much better by England! A lot of misses but they created some chances, it was a good game to watch!
