This petition is about how much The Irish Football team means to Irish people. Please Sign if you agree with the following points: I am a fan who is disgusted that a clear handball has been allowed to deprive the Irish Nation of the chance to compete in the World Cup. Referee Martin Hansson and his inept assistants have cheated all Irish people out of a place at the World Cup Finals. Admit your complete incompetence and retire from football immediately. You are at best a disgrace and at worst a FIFA and Platini stooge. Thierry Henry is a cheat. The FIFA fair play rules allow for cheats to be punished and he should be suspended for the entire World cup. (He will apologies tomorrow and plead innocence…. ) I demand that Michel Platini (0ne of the best #10 in the world but now a clueless and ineffective UEFA President) and Sepp Blatter (A very corrupt President of FIFA) issue a statement of apology. Keane and Duffer probably should have scored! The Irish fans will be missed in South Africa. France may have bigger TV revenue Mr Platini, but you win NEVER BEAT THE IRISH. Thank you so much and we will never forget what the Irish team have done over the last 2 years. The Full Irish Squad, Every single player who came to train and play for Ireland, Mr Giovanni Trapattoni, Mr Marco Tardelli (just look at this http://www.youtube.com/watchv=7XOL8o-3TZ8&feature=related), Mr Liam Brady and the management team. We will never forget that we BEAT France in Paris! Yes we BEAT THEM! We NEARLY Beat Italy away. We SHOULD have beat Italy in Croker AND THAT WE DIDN’T LOSE A SINGE GAME IN QUALIFYING. And finally……. We will follow the Irish team ANYWHERE.
