FIFA opens case against Henry for handball

Dec. 2, 2009
CBSSports.com wire reports

CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- FIFA has opened a disciplinary case against France forward Thierry Henry for handling the ball in the World Cup playoff against Ireland last month.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter said Wednesday that its disciplinary committee will look at Henry's behavior in the Nov. 18 second leg at Stade de France.


FIFA's ruling executive met Wednesday and referred the case to the independent disciplinary panel.

Henry twice handled the ball before passing to William Gallas, who scored the goal that gave France a 1-1 draw and 2-1 win on aggregate to qualify for the World Cup instead of Ireland.

Blatter described Henry's handball as "blatant unfair playing" that was seen around the world.

which I might add is no bad thing if it's done ALL the time. Not for a couple of weeks then revert back to the old ways as is usually the case.

I thought you meant he was going to get his knees 'done' there.

He is also reported as saying the following

In his address to a soccer conference on Monday, Blatter also revealed that he had spoken to Thierry Henry, who’s handball sealed Ireland’s fate, and explained that he could understand why he had cheated although he did not condone his actions.
 
Re: Thierry Henry Might Get Done !

Firstly video evidence should have been used after the incident. Secondly a replay should have been granted as it fairest, simplest way of negating the issue.

Now it's gone on too long and I doubt anyone is arsed apart from the French.

Correct. Its all just platitudes from Blabber.
 
Re: Thierry Henry Might Get Done !

Charging Henry will be ridiculous if you ask me, just because it was highely controversial and a WC play off match.

It happens all the time, and the only way to stop it is allowing video replays. Charging one player won't change anything. It just makes this thing even stupider.

They need to give Maradona a 5 match ban.

Re: Thierry Henry Might Get Done !

I know this is unfair, setting a precedent, scapegoating, etc etc etc... But I really don't care. I actually hate the fucking cunt, and always have. So if the punishment (being stoned to death hopefully) doesn't altogethor fit the crime, I'd be happy to overlook that just this once.

That would be great. It could be part of the opening ceremony or something.

Thierry Henry stoned to death. Preferably by children to prolong it a little bit.

An Opening Ceremony people would actually watch.

Let's email FIFA with the suggestion.
 
Re: Thierry Henry Might Get Done !

It's a bit sad I wouldn't mind if Henry were joined at such a ceremony by half the England team.

We have enough depth at right back. We need an impact striker. And Henry has proven himself adept at controlling crosses a little overhit in tight areas around the goalmouth. Natural fit.

Re: Thierry Henry Might Get Done !

Why do you always dislike him?

He always speaks very glowingly of Liverpool FC, the fans and Steven Gerrard.

France's Thierry Henry escapes Fifa ban over handball

_47135220_handball466.jpg


Striker Thierry Henry will not be punished by Fifa for his handball in France's World Cup finals play-off victory over the Republic of Ireland.

The world governing body's disciplinary committee concluded there was "no legal foundation" to deal with the case.

The Barcelona striker handled the ball twice in the build-up to the decisive extra-time goal from William Gallas.

Only the illegal use of a hand to prevent a goal being scored is covered in relation to possible sanctions.

The decision means the 32-year-old former Arsenal player will not face a ban for any of France's matches in the World Cup finals this summer.

"Handling the ball cannot be regarded as a serious infringement as stipulated in the Fifa disciplinary code," said a Fifa statement.

"There is no other legal text that would allow the committee to impose sanctions for any incidents missed by match officials."

The Republic did not qualify for the 2010 World Cup and Fifa rejected a request to have the match replayed.

Previously, Fifa president Sepp Blatter said Henry was guilty of "blatant unfair playing" but stopped short of calling for him to be punished.

Henry's handball caused an international furore, with the Republic claiming they had been "cheated" out of a place in the World Cup.

The extra-time goal meant the match in Paris ended 1-1, with France going through 2-1 on aggregate.

Henry apologised over the incident and later admitted it left him contemplating whether to quit international football.

On the back of the controversy surrounding the incident, Fifa met at Cape Town to consider goal-line technology and extra referees at the World Cup.

However, the sport's governing body decided against using additional referees in South Africa and have instead opted to set up an inquiry into the benefits of video technology and extra officials. #

I think the Irish in general have moved on a lot more succesfully than the English regarding Maradona's hand of God.
