We regret that despite our best efforts for a replay, our calls appear to have fallen on deaf ears," said FAI chief executive John Delaney.



France striker Thierry Henry, who handled the ball in the build-up to the winning goal, had earlier said a replay would "be the fairest solution



Henry has also admitted that it was a hand ball 'would no have anything to do with the fact that he is possibly looking at £15million of sponsership being ripped up'

Whats fairness got to do with anything, its just goals that count.

At the end of the day it balances itself out so it looks like the Paddies, Taffs and Jocks will have a quiet summer next year. Never mind, but ay least they dont have to renew their passports.
