Has our luck evened out now?

Can we put the Henry incident to bed now that we've gotten the perfect draw and considering our slight fortune in Armenia's gk being sent off?

It's time to move onwards and upwards.

Bendtner to be honest we buried that hatchet a long time ago. Seeing the French have a disasterous WC campaign more than made up for it for me anyway

Thats sport one minute everythings going against you the next you are getting the lucky breaks

In fairness to the Irish team they didn't dwell on the "Hand of Gaul" incident they out the heads down and grinded out the results to get us to the play-offs

No we cannot, the amount of complaining that went on when it happended, the names henry was called, the arguments i had with people means that the same uproar should be happening now, a handball and a terrible refereeing decision have given roi the play off spot ahead of armenia.

So are you saying "we can't put it to bed " as the article creator said. You are certainly in a minority there. The only people who still talk about it are Sky Sports.

Its done and dusted now for 99.9% of Irish football fans.

None of the refs decisions actually led to the ROI scoring a goal so it rubbish to suggest that he was the reason we beat the Armenians.
Mc Geady if you remember (you did watch the whole 90 minutes i would imagine) put the resulting free-kick over the bar. Yes it was a harsh decision but it is a red card offence when a goalie prevents a goal by handling outside the penalty box

I notice you neglected to mention the terrible decision that got Doyle sent off as well

that wasnt my point, people wouldnt shut up about henrys handball when it happened, im yet to hear anyone moan about cox's. Hes a cheat.

Born United. If you can't distinguish between an audition for a circus juggler, and taking down a high ball in the general shoulder vicinity, then I'm going to go ahead and assume you're either a wum as they say, or just an idiot.

I would say he's a combination of both Bendtner
We must be doing something right if we're attracting Trolls to our board.
If the ball had hit Coxs arm (as oppossed to his shoulder) why didn't the Armenians plead for a free out. Funny that
This was his face when we made the play-offs

Don't worry about the begrudgers Robbie.

People are implying that the same outrage would have erupted had Henry done what Cox did. And that's a lie.

I'm not worrying about them just having a laugh at them. Most of these clowns are probably staunch BNP supporters - have a look at the club sides they support its usually a good clue

Some amount of Ireland haters on here today. Wow. Makes a change from the 4 or 5 regulars we normally get.
