This is a game I'll be telling Tiernan about as he grows up. After a 14 month campaign it all came down to a French goal that was the result of a Thierry Henry handball. Henry clearly controlled the ball with his fingers and actually handled the ball twice. You can plainly see it in the above photo and the video below.
After playing so well throughout the game, it is just sickening. Robbie Keane was the man again and brought us level on aggregate in the 33rd minute. It was 1-1 after Robbie's cracking goal. All we needed was another goal and they would have needed two, due to the away goal benefit.
I really think now its high time we brought in the same kind of video technology they use in other professional sports like Rugby. The linesman missed two of the French players in an offside position and then the handball. It's almost unbelievable that he could have missed the blatant handball. Thierry Henry needs to hang his head in shame.
