~ ahem, sarcasm, cough cough... Apparently I missed FIFA's meeting about the rule change banning officials from calling handballs in Champions League matches... (I'm talking about Liverpool vs. Inter in case you aren't watching the match)
What's the deal with the ref?|||what a crap linesman clear hand ball the linesman should of told the ref straight away|||the ball was shot at the players face and the rules indicate that when that happens the player can put the hands up to their face to protect themselves
also the lines man was on the completly opposite side of the player

Why do footballers cheat so much? Did anyone just see Thierry Henry handball for that goal?
Oops, I mean "yes including the ones from my team".|||Absoutely terrible, I do feel sorry for this Irish side, I really do but this is France, what do ya expect from sides like them?|||Clearly deliberate handball. He moved his hand and even guided the ball. Sad. Will forever taint his legacy just like Maradona's infamous "hand of God". Googled "Thierry Henry cheat" just out of curiosity and was amazed at the number of hits. Maybe not a one off either by the looks of it. Really sad.
As for the question I think footballers cheat since they are let off. The worst that could happen is a yellow card or a a red. On the other hand, if they are not caught they may have won the game for their team and after a few days, when things have settled, all that is "remembered" in the media and by the majority of the public is the winner. I think football should treat cheating like they do in golf. If you are caught cheating in golf your career is pretty much over (know of at least one pro it happened to). Not much cheating in golf, is there?
Time for post game video reviews and severe penalties for cheating (2 year ban first time, then life). Applying this to Henry's handball tonight, he himself would have to tell the ref there and then that he handballed in order to avoid any post game penalty.|||Not being a Biased Irishman, but in my opinion the French always fight dirty. Not just soccer, but rugby too. Maybe they are just sore losers.
There should be Video Playbacks for touch judges like they have in Rugby. This blatant handball by Terry Henry is a prime example as to why Video Refereeing should be introduced. Anelka also when trying to force a Penalty by throwing his left foot into Given before falling over.
There were so many opportunities where Ireland could have scored during normal time but failed. But there were also other times when Ireland had the ball and had great chances were fouled by those cheating French!
So much for the luck of the Irish. Too many times in Irish Soccer and Rugby, we have so much misfortune from bad refereeing!
And as for the likes of Sarkozy in the crowd and his beloved Lisbon Treaty? Shame on you for flying over to Ireland and demanding Ireland retake the vote. I very much doubt you will be flying over here to apologize for your countrymans poor sporting performance tonight. We won't get a second chance to try get to South Africa. We should be allowed the chance to replay the last 40 minutes with the score all square!
Perhaps some of the French should look at careers in Gaelic Football. That way they can handle the ball as much as they liked! And us Irish could have a go at knocking them about!|||Thats not entirely true actually...he didnt deliberately handball it, it was one of those touch and go type of things you could tell he cringed at it but yet didnt make an attempt to body it rather than handball it but it wasnt deliberate, I was for Ireland all the way too so Im not just defending him, he isnt particularly one of my favourite players but I have to tell it like it is, also he did tell the referee and reporters after the game that there was a handball so he did show remorse, but when you're on your way to the world cup and you scored(handballed) the winning goal...i mean really how much remorse can you show?|||Because Anyone would do ANYTHING to go to the WORLD CUP, It just happens, its like when the REF awards a PK when the ball accidently hits your hand. the other team gets a lucky goal. Henry did what he had too. any one else in his possition would have done the same, and who ever says they wouldnt if a F'IN LAIR. Its not his Fault, the REF is the one who didnt CALL it, nor did his LINESMAN. HE just simple did what he could at the time, and if the REF didnt call it its the refs fault. thats what makes soccer so interesting, the mistakes the REFS MAKE. if not it would be like FOOTBALL, or BASKETBALL, borring with all the stopping of plays.|||It was a blatant attempt and unfortunately a successful attempt at cheating. The fact that he hand-balled it twice in the same move is appalling. The fact that it was allowed shows the obvious need of tele-match officials.
Ireland lost through Henrys cheating. Shame on him, shame in France. I live in Ireland, we are all gutted.

Regards
Gavin McDonald|||The hand was not only to keep the ball in play but he practically used his hand to put the ball in his foot to then make a pass to Galas. I am a soccer player and I find this outrageous. This simple gesture has so many consequences. for him, his team, his country, other countries and all the money. People get real, from this gesture, we can clearly state that Thierry Henry is a cheat!!! I have nothing against french people: I lived there 6 years and I fluently speak french and most of my friends are french but this action simply kills the beauty and fairness of soccer!|||John from Ireland........
Dear Mr Henry'
You are the biggest cheat on the planet. You are a disgrace, you are the bottom of the **** barrel. You have ruined your name ....... I can't believe that a player of your ability has to cheat. France should not be in South Africa ........ You are there in shame ...... and disgrace. Your a stain on the soul of Football. Your a cheat !!!
Regards an honest Irish fan ... you are a cheating french thief.|||Being Irish I was gutted because we played them off the park in terms of chances %26amp; we should've been 2-0 from normal time anyway.
Henry's actions were nothing short of disgusting and it just highlights the need for video cameras in the game. I was always a big fan of Henry but now I have no respect for him at all.|||Answering this question by saying all french people are cheats is very stupid, and quite discriminatory too.
No one should be surprised by what happened, because that's what happens at high levels of competition. Just like players fake being tackled, just like so many goals are scored with the hand, because what matters is to win...And they will do anything to win.
Side story: This is reminescent of the 2006 world cup semifinals where France won on a penalty for a foul commited on...Henry. With a nice diving skill on his part.
And don't worry, France isn't going to go far in teh tournament. They are very lucky to have qualified, and probably won't make it to the knockout phase.
And yes, I am french.|||Its really not Henry fault, its referee fault. When you're playing on the pitch, all the decision and judgment is all depends on the referee. So in this case, i know Henry shouldn't have cheat and handball it but the referee did give away the score to France....so its really depend on FIFA how to judge this|||That was blatant cheating - Henry clearly handballed and knew he did it too. He should be ashamed of himself. An honest man would have owned up.
The French side were so arrogant they thought they'd beat us no problem and when they realised they weren't going to win honestly they started to play dirty. Typical. It's so unjust - for once Ireland really deserved to get in to the world cup and we were robbed. And poor Shay - the ref just would not listen. I hope the French choke on their "victory".|||the referee has been very good. He did not give the penalty to France - most referees would have given that one. Given was very lucky there.
Also as some people pointed out, it was not a deliberate handball. Or he didn't get a good look at what happened. I couldn't tell from watching it live, only on replay.|||The Irish were absolutely 100% robbed tonight. Thierry Henry is a filthy cheat!
Anyone here or in life that excuses him has no right to be involved in sport and is as bad as him
He should be vilified for what he has done. A dirty Rotten Cheat!|||Sadly, it's the done thing in football. Every player sees the other players doing it and think 'I may as well do it too!'. It will take a few of the most prominent players to set an example by repeatedly being honest and doing the right thing. Do you really think this will happen??|||Why are people saying Henry didn't mean to do it? Are you f**king blind? He handles the ball twice, then goes on and passes it.
You see him smiling and timewasting after......
Henry has always been a prick. Hopefully the IRA bombs is house.|||It was a blatent handball and Gallas was in an offside position. It is a bad stroke of football for Ireland. Hopefully Ireland can get a goal in the last 10 minutes.|||they cheat because there is no punishment! henry brought france to the world cup with a voluntary handball and what? he should be banded from the world cup for ever! instead nowadays if they can trick the referee they are heroes.|||henry is such a scumbag.he is a cheat.i used to like him but now i hate him .it was the hand of the devil.he lost us our one chance to qualify for the world cup.|||Despicable, Pathetic and outrageous.
No wonder no one likes the French.
Hopefully Keane punches in the equaliser in the last 15 mins|||Just a hater a goal a goal. Its' football didn't you see Messi do it too..........Watch video|||SPEAKING OF CHEATING. RE WATCH THE SLOVENIA V RUSSIA GAME. You will be blloody blown out of your mind to see how much the Slovenian footballers cheated and got away with it. The ref was CLEARLy Paid.|||Thierry Henry is a ******* asshole ! The Irish were robbed of their victory over the French ! I just hope that Germany kicks the **** out of them in 2010 !|||king henry.this is why he is one of the worlds greatest players.you must win by any means necessary.who cares?as long as you win|||OK IL TELL YOU WHAT
THE FRENCH ARE CHEATS!
HE HANDBALLED IT TWICE AND GALLAS WAS OFFSIDE FROM THE START OF THE FREEKICK
I HATE THE FRENCH!! CHEATING GAYS|||not only did he handball it ..... he handballed it twice ! hit his arm once and then he guided it with his hand ! Obviously meant to do it !! their was a great shot of it on the tv|||cos they have no morals! they are all overpaid, spoilt, border-line rapists anyway!|||Ball played arm|||even tho most irish dont like us english i still want ireland through and now they could be cheated out of it...if i was henry i would hang my head in shame...still hope though, 11mins left|||Leave Henry ALONE!

What are the injuries of handball and court ball games and their treatments?
the most common injuries would be soft tissue including sprains, and muscle tears, you may also need to deal with contusions and abrasions. these are all generally managed with the application of ice at the site of the injury before referral for further treatment if needed.
In a game of handball, you hit the ball essentially at ground level and send it toward the wall with a sp?
You need to finish asking your question. It got truncated.
