Sun Tzucmonurz Like paps, a from me at whoever wrote it was marginal, in fact that replay suggest that there was definite movement of the arm for the first handball, never mind the second, which isn't actually so clear from that angle.
Ha ! it was a somewhat tongue in cheek comment !
It was a handball (talk of 'two' handballs is pointless really although the second movement is the more convincing one).
I'm bemused by the comment about officials getting every decision 'right'. it won;t happen ever. Officials make hundreds of decisions during a game (possibly thousands). They make them from a fixed point and often make several simultaneously. They won;t get them all right.
The one last night wasn't an error by the officials. They simply couldn't have seen it. None of them would have seen it and decided it wasn;t handball.
I hope this doesn't take us off down the road of video replays again. It would destroy the game. I've also heard people suggesting managers should be able to challenge two decisions per half. Obviously using the huge success that introducing that into cricket as the basis for that one !
I feel really sorry for the Irish, they deserved better (although not much better given their inability to score more than once in 210 minutes !). There have been many far more 'unfair' incidents but for it to happen so late in such a key game must have been a real sickener. I would have loved them to have been in S Africa if only to have had Doyle /Hunt / Hunt / Long / O'Dea to follow.

Barry the bird boggler LOL at the usual "why don't we have goaline technology" argument on SKY last night
Er, hello no we shouldn't, stuff like this happens, its part and parcel of the game you just have to handle it and get on with life - it is only a GAME after all!
More importanly how does France's qualification effect Engalnd's seeding for the draw in a couple of weeks; pot 1 or 2?

Thaumagurist*soggy biscuithandbags_harris Henry, I felt, was a beacon of fair play during his time in the Premier League.
Even after his comedy dive against Spain in WC2006 that lead to a goal?
Exactly, what a crock of shit when people claim Henry's always been a fair player, when he's really a dirty cheating oxf*rd.

Nope. The Irish weren't on our side in the War,.

As said it should be for the ref to use only....if he's 100% sure he has the decision correct then it shouldn't be used but if he's undecided then a quick radio up to the video man can clear things up. It should only be used for things like diving for penalties and goals being scored - not decisions that MAY lead up to a goal.
