The film portrays the Thierry Henry handball incident in Paris in detail from the referee's point of view. [12] Trapattoni also questioned the selection of the match referee, stating "For this important game we needed a stronger referee – an important referee", and went on to also question the format of the qualifying round matches. [43][44][47] Referring to the possibility of using assistant referees or goal line technology, Blatter stated, "match control is now is on the agenda. [122] On the issue of football introducing AAR's, The Wall Street Journal compared and contrasted the demands on referees in the World Cup compared to those in National Football League, National Hockey League and boxing, and relayed the negative experience of U.S. Soccer a decade previously, who took part in an international trial using two referees, one in each half, which 'led to poor game management'. [93] [31] [6][25] While repeating the fact that FIFA rules prevented him commenting on the game until the investigation concluded,[6] he said the incident was neither his or his referee team's fault. [31] Agence France-Presse (AFP) described how the result of the game sparked an "international outcry" and how as a result of the handball, Henry had been "pilloried as a cheat around the globe". He lofted it toward French captain Thierry Henry, who was making a run in the penalty area to Irish goalkeeper Shay Given's right-hand side. [53] Gordon Smith, the chief executive of the Scottish Football Association and a member of the International Football Association Board, believed that introduction of AARs in time for the World Cup would be pressed for at the EGM by UEFA president Michel Platini, who had been a long-time supporter of the concept; Smith said of the proposal, "I feel that it has its advantages at the highest levels of the games. [62], The expected introduction of AARs for the 2010 World Cup was ruled out. The Corrigan Brothers wrote The Hand of Henry,[142][143] which includes the line "Sepp Blatter was happy". [38] FAI chief executive John Delaney said "It is up to the people who govern the game now, if they really believe in the principles of fair play then step forward....If we had qualified in this manner, I wouldn't be happy"[12] The president of the (FFF) Jean-Pierre Escalettes said "You have to take a philosophical approach to this match."[39]. Louth were in the lead at the time and would have won their first Leinster Senior Football Championship in 53 years if Meath had not been given the goal. [155] Meath chairman Barney Allen compared calls for the game to be replayed with Henry's moment of shame, saying "Ireland didn't get a replay when France got a lucky goal". [124] The player sent off was Stephen Kelly, ironically an unused Irish substitute in the controversial France game. [48], According to FIFA, the EGM discussion resulted in "concrete proposals" to ensure that improvements were made on the issues raised. On the issue of fair play at the World Cup, Blatter commented after the FIFA executive committee's EGM: I appeal to all the players and coaches to observe this fair play. [19] His first comments came with a report in L'Équipe, and during his opening address at the Soccerex football conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, both on Sunday 29 November. [97], According to The Independent, the organiser of the 2010 World Cup Danny Jordaan resisted calls for video refereeing and believed that 'disputed decisions should be considered part of football'. [19][20][43], Blatter said that it had not been Henry's responsibility to tell the referee of the misdemeanour, comparing a similar incident in his own playing career, when he did not tell the referee about an advantage gained by shirt-pulling. [112] When the World Cup pool games began Pizza Hut Delivery Ireland began a promotion offering a free pizza to every goal scored against France. The 18 November date of the second leg of the France vs Republic of Ireland play-off in Saint-Denis coincided with the date of a number of other World Cup qualification matches around the world, marking the completion of the entire qualification process for 2010. [62] Blatter confirmed that the experiment with AAR's in the Europa League would continue into the 2010 knock-out stages. [127] A Gillette spokesperson had earlier denied allegations made by The Sun that a version of the Gillette Champions poster showing the three men with a tennis racket, golf club and football, had been doctored to remove a ball from Henry's hand in the French version of their website. [56] The executive committee at the time consisted of FIFA president Sepp Blatter, eight vice-presidents and 15 members, and the FIFA general secretary Jérôme Valcke. "[60] Blatter explained that, as AARs had not yet been trialled outside of Europe, the committee was of the opinion that any experiment must be carried out "globally" before it could be used in a World Cup. [16] The Los Angeles Times speculated the incident had the potential to ruin his reputation with a moment of "eternal notoriety". ", while The Daily Mirror was "French Nickers.
