Havenāt found an official Henry website but surely his wiki page can be targeted.
Its been locked so nobody can edit it. :mad:
Get the Dunph on that straight away,where is he anyway?no verdict from him yet!
With all these Irish soccer fan loons about, it really is a naive time for the IFI to stage the French Film Festival in Dublin. I for one will be standing shoulder to shoulder with the French and will be looking forward to going to see Les Regrets at the weekend.

Can anyone remember Thierry Henryās interview after the Arsenal vs Barcelona european cup final???
dont dive, be a man dont cheat
spastick, not his fault though, fucking ref and linesman should be shoot, look someone needs to be shoot anyway, there has to be a gangland style execution after thisā¦
Harald schumacher should have gone all in and taken the head off that frog
I believe Henry said after that, but not fully sure Tinnion might confirm, that he said after that he may as well cheat as well as everyone else seems to.
Minster of Justice, Dermot Ahern, has asked for a replay.
Email sent ā¦ Moment of drama my arse!! Name and shameā¦
He is on Ray DāArcy now saying there is a precident(sp) for thisā¦Fifa ordred a replay between Bahrain and Uzbekistan in 2005 due to similar circumstancesā¦
Big difference to telling those countries have a repaly and telling France (And Platini!) they must replay. Not going to happen.
Good to see he had the Civil Servants hard at work this morningā¦
Hammam expresses regret over FIFA decision to replay Uzbek-Bahrain match
Asian Football Confederation president Mohamed Bin Hammam has expressed regret over FIFAās decision to replay the Uzbekistan-Bahrain 2006 World Cup finals qualifier play-off.
FIFA ordered the match, which Uzbekistan won 1-0 on September 3 in Tashkent, to be replayed because of a ātechnical errorā by Japanese referee Toshimitsu Yoshida.
Yoshida ruled out a penalty scored by Server Djeparov because of encroachment in the area by a Uzbek team-mate but crucially did not allow them to retake the penalty and awarded a freekick to Bahrain.
āUzbekistan had been penalised twice and the winning side had become the victims. It was an unfortunate and serious error by Japanese referee Toshimitsu Yoshida,ā Hammam said in a statement.

(FIFA.com) Tuesday 6 September 2005
FIFA confirmed today that the result of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germanyā¢ qualifying match between Uzbekistan and Bahrain on 3 September 2005 has been declared invalid and must be replayed. In order to respect the drawn order of the matches, the first leg is to be replayed in Uzbekistan on 8 October 2005, with the second leg match to be rescheduled for 12 October 2005 in Bahrain.
The decision was taken by the Bureau of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germanyā¢ Organising Committee following a formal protest from the Uzbekistan Football Federation concerning a technical error by the referee of the match.
According to Art. 12.4 (b) and 14.1 of the Regulations for the 2006 FIFA World Cupā¢, all protests, including those against technical errors committed by referees, are to be decided by the Organising Committee for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germanyā¢. A bureau of the Organising Committee may pass a decision in lieu of the plenary committee in urgent matters.
The Bureau, composed of Chairman Lennart Johansson, Deputy Chairman Julio Grondona, Dr Chung Mong Joon and FIFA General Secretary Urs Linsi, took the decision based on the following facts:
- At the score of 1-0 in favour of Uzbekistan, in the 39th minute of the match, the referee decided to award a penalty kick to Uzbekistan;
- The penalty kick was taken and led to goal in favour of Uzbekistan;
- Before the penalty kick was carried out, an Uzbek player entered the penalty area;
- Consequently, the referee awarded an indirect free kick to the Bahrain team;
- However, in such a situation, the Laws of the Game require the referee to order the penalty kick to be retaken;
- The captain of Uzbekistan team protested to the referee immediately after the mistake had taken place and before the game had restarted. This protest was confirmed after the match;
- This technical error was confirmed by the match commissioner and the referee inspector in their respective reports;
- Uzbekistan protested the decision of the referee in a written request, asking for the match to be ācancelledā and be evaluated with a 3-0 forfeit result;
The bureau, taking into consideration that the referee in the match in question had indeed committed a technical error, established that, as a consequence, the match needed to be replayed. As a result, the protest put forward by the Uzbekistan team for the match to be considered a forfeit with a 3ā0 result is rejected. In accordance with Art. 12.6 of the Regulations 2006 FIFA World Cup Germanyā¢, this decision is final and binding.
