Thierry Henry Must Be Banned From World Cup
Target:

Sponsored by:
Last night ( Nov 18th) i felt ashamed to call myself a football fan. A so called "gentleman" of the game CHEATED his way into the world cup.
He wasn't even man enough to come out and say he meant it although television evidence clearly shows him controlling the ball twice to keep it in play and then pass to Gallas for the goal.
After you have signed your name, please get the word out to all your family and friends. Every signature will count when i take this to FIFA.

If instant replay is not allowed to stop cheating in football, this is the very least we can do.

Cheating is cheating no matter who you are - so Thierry, YOU ARE A CHEAT and anyone who condones this kind of behaviour is also a CHEAT - whether it's other so called professional footballers, team mates, managers, or FIFA suits. Yes he must be banned from playing in the most prestigious football competition in the world. Just a clue to all those who can't seem to get their heads round the fact that what he did was CHEATING - the game he plays is called FOOTball.

Cheats should never be allowed to prosper - shame on FIFA, shame on the French F.A. Always favour the seeded team!Unfortunately a great player like Henry will always be remebered as a cheat, like Maradonna. Give Ireland the replay they deserve!!!!

I believe had this happened to some other country other than France, FIFA would have definitely adjudicated the matter. But given it's France and the influence they have over the FIFA entity, it's easy for them for MAFIA their way through such FOUL PLAY. What has become of the so-called "Fair Play" theme FIFA pretends to stand for? As a matter of fact, there should be no more fair play parades at the start of a match if all we get out of it is loud-sounding nonesense. As for Henry, he should be handed a life-long ban from International Football. This is atrocious and repugnant to say the least.

Let's face it. France had to go thru because of their weight in FIFA and UEFA, because they have more viewers, TV contracts, sport sponsors, Gillette, Adidas etc... Blatter and Platini are two mafia gangsters, and the french football federation is dirty all the way. The French team has always done this. Do you remember Henry against Spain in the WC2006, faking a foul by Puyol? And in the final against Italy, in the very first minute he faked to have lost senses, so to influence the referee (who few minutes later allowed a penalty for an inexisting foul); and Zidane? After what he did, the french government gave him a medal and FIFA still elect hi as the best player of the WC!! What Henry did is in the same line, and the referee saw it all. Henry should be banned, the referee should be banned. Blatter should be banned!

Thierry Henry's blatant double-handling goes against any concept of fair play in football. He has brought the game into disrepute and should not be allowed to set foot on a pitch in South Africa. FIFA must impose a seven match, competitive international ban on Henry to ensure that he is suspended for the entirety of France's illegitimate participation in the World Cup. We will only stamp out simulation, deception, and cheating if FIFA comes down hard on the culprits. Let's not single out Henry, but instead apply the same penalties to anyone else caught undermining the integrity of the sport henceforth.

Thierry, you were such an outstanding player when you were at Arsenal (which to me is still the most enjoyable team to watch playing football), it took so many years to build your good reputation, yet in a split second you have decided to throw it all away... I am really disgusted by what you have done ! Before the game I was just afraid France would not qualify, but now I feel so ashamed and uncomfortable... You have definitely lost my support now, and I am sure that Arsène Wenger (by far the best manager in the world) also shares my feelings. Shame on you Henry ! Why did you do it ? I don't understand ! You know that this game will not be replayed so please now be a man and show the Irish people you are really sorry by not going to South Africa ! And you can keep Domenech at home with you !

We have just being robbed of our chance to go to the World Cup by bad refeering and blatent cheating Thierry Henry and the officals should be banned from WC. I know Thierry Henry has admitted the hand ball and called for a replay because he knows there is no chance this will happen now because FIFA have got the result they wanted all along thats why they changed the qualifing rules the big nations rule over small ones again. All Nations should now send a sign to FIFA that if this match is not re-played they will not play in the 2010 World Cup. Lets hit them where it hurts in there pocket because they don't want small nations qualifing why do we bother trying when your not wanted in the first place. This is a discrace to France and FIFA. Do the right thing call for a re-play let fairplay prevail.

It is a shame for Thierry Henry and France National Football team that they have won World Cup Qualifier against Republic of Ireland by a goal of Willium Gallas from a hand ball of Thierry Henry, a greatly respected, admired, skillful, experienced, but yet cheating football player. Banning Theirry Henry is not enough, but the game should be played fairly again, without Theirry Henry.

This is an injustice. If Henry and France value their own integrity and have any sense of self-respect they will go for a replay. Anything else would sully the name of both France and the World Cup.

Henry is a CHEAT - once could be forgiven as being "accidental", but not twice - he knew what he was doing and has lost all respect for his previous achievements after this. I feel genuinely sorry for the Irish after this cheat has been allowed to prosper by FIFA.

we were robbed in Paris on Wednesday. Henry clearly meant to handle it and has shown no remorse since. He has brought the game into disrepute and should be banned. to see Henry carry the FIFA fair play flag in South Africa would be the final insult.
