Hand of Frog?
Le Cheat?
Irish newspapers heralded the dismal news, concocting ridiculous headlines, wishing to tarnish the Frenchies reputation.
The controversial World Cup play-off between Ireland and France ended badly.
If you didn't know that, you've either been (a) hiding under a rock, (b) completely sports illiterate or (c) been hit by rocks for being sport illiterate.
Thierry Henry, in the last stages of the game, handled the ball. A big no-no in football, if you haven't heard.
And get this, everyone knows he did it and they admit it as well.
Thierry Henry himself apologised for the unfortunate contact with the ball- which later was converted into a goal, throwing the balance off equilibrium, shaking the formerly equalised score.
That was the last goal of the match.
Result?
The French went home happy, mumbling Mon Dieu under their breath, with a ticket to South Africa and a place in the World Cup next year.
So the luck of the Irish had deserted the four-leaved clover holding, green men. When they deserved a chance.
Even with Henry gallantly apologising and the Irish campaigning for a replay, nothing is being done.
King Henry
Slayed not his spouse
But hundreds of hopes
He did dowse
Ball in Hand
Leprechauns did cry
'Sorry', said the King
En route Africa, 'And Good Bye!'
Oh Lordie. What is happening to the world of Footie?
