Just when everyone thought, it must be the start of a 3-pointer run even though Arsenal and Chelsea games are now on the horizon, Hull didn’t come to give anything away despite it being so close to Christmas.

No replay. France go to the World Cup. Ireland won’t.
posted @ 12:55 in [ Newcastle Utd ]
Today it seems that it’s clear, they’ll be no replay. I think the consensus is that if France wanted to give one, FIFA would’ve consented, but the French manager and the French Football Association didn’t want to offer a replay, so none will be given.

A bit of humour to soothe the pain!
posted @ 18:41 in [ Newcastle Utd ]
We came across a game in France today setup to perhaps ease the pain of the goal on Wednesday night. Have a look, it’s all in French but just click on the link “Jouer” = to play and off you go scoring goals with ‘Le Hand de Henry‘. 
It’s a bit of a laugh. Anything to heal the pain!

2 days later and it doesn’t get any easier!
posted @ 13:54 in [ Newcastle Utd ]
Every time I answer the phone, it seems that everyone wants to discuss the goal that put Ireland out of the World Cup. I can’t imagine how much the players must feel this. Sport seems to have injustices at all levels. Is it something we all have to live with? or do you think in the interests of “sport” and “fairness”, something can be done? What are your thoughts?

The day after… and losing to France is tough!
posted @ 10:01 in [ Newcastle Utd ]
You don’t mind losing if you’re played off the pitch, but to lose to a ‘handed’ goal, it’s bitter… the Irish deserved to even win the game! Oh dear… this was not a glorious evening for French football. I got apologies everywhere for the hand ball goal this morning in the Hotel here in Paris…
