No ques. Henry intentionally handled the ball to keep control of it, but blame has to be put on the rare lapse in defence also, for the goal to be conceeded! Alas, sadly Ireland once again are the nearly men (we only have won 1 play-off decider (to qualify for the 2002 World Cup) & again it's a case of...if only! And now Blatter & FIFA are laughing at us pleading to be let in as the 33rd team in South Africa W.Cup!! :) Bit of both!…if Ireland had taken their chances in normal time (especially Robbie Keane’s glorious miss
