Le Hand of TH14

Once again after so many years it's a hand that's hogging the headlines. Last time it was Maradona against England this time it's Thierry Henry against the Irish.

The background is that TH14 apparantley handled the ball before he passed it onto Gallas who went onto score a goal that effectively blew up Ireland's chances of playing in the world cup 2011.

I saw the goal and i think Ireland had a case.In my book there should have been a replay.Some people wanted Henry banned but would that really do justice to Ireland ?
The game of football has been crying out for technical advancements.Imagine the fact that 2 people( the referee and linesman) have caused 4 years of planning and investment to come to naught.
