Hey,

Following up yesterday's great debate is the one I've been waiting to write for a long time, and the one I think may be the best debate yet and a must-read for any football fan! Should video technology be introduced into football? Would doing so take away from the 'magic' that makes the game so great? And would it help or hinder the referees? Have your say in the Great Debate!

Hey,

Henry's handball has got the whole football world talking. What better time for another Great Debate? Should Henry have owned up? Is he a cheat? Should FIFA have allowed a replay? Have your say in the great debate!

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/294359-the-great-debate-should-fifa-allow-ireland-vs-france-to-be-replayed

Cheers,
Barney

P.S. As an Arsenal and Ireland fan, I'm looking forward to hearing your answers on this one! I'm sensing your more of a Liam Brady fan than Henry now though?

Hey,

After what is being called 'the greatest injustice in sport', the question is, what on earth is FIFA doing?

Have a look

unsh...poxy...ah feck...

Delaney knows we have no chance of getting a replay but he played a blinder by calling for the FFF to give the replay, hoping for a backlash in france.

Unfortunately, there isn't really any kind of backlash in France. They're delighted to be through.

Le hand of God as L'Equipe said.

Le hand of Frog as the Sun said.

Marie, after the Henry handball yesterday, I have decided that replay must be implemented in the beautiful game somehow. Please tell me your reaction.

Maire, I really feel sorry and sad for what has happened.

It just detoured terribly in the worst way. I am really sorry and I share this grief with you.

Take good care of yourself.

Man ! That was horrible !

It was a long time since I cried when a team lost ya know. :(

It was total disgrace and it had to come from a Barca and an ex-Arsenal footballer. :(

Irish footballers are a class act ! No denying it!

So how have you been ?

Arsenal are doing pretty good in UCL and BPL I guess !

Liverpool apparently is in dire straits and what's the bet that Torres will remain with them next season ? :P
