****ing robbed. Football is awfully cruel at times.

Sad thing is this could be the one of the big things that he's remembered for. No matter what great things he's achieved (or will achieve) in his career, after this he could be remembered as a cheat like Maradona and the 'hand of god'.
There's nothing sad about it.
Such blatant cheating in a high profile match deserves to tarnish his career. I hope it dogs him for the rest of his playing days.
Henry used to be one of my favourite players. I have lost all respect for him.

No it's fair enough, after what he did.
Just for such a talented player he shouldn't need to cheat
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
Cut the abuse out please chaps (in reference to the posts I've just deleted).
112 did you really have to come on here in a fairly obvious attempt to wind people up when they are feeling **** about the result? I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone did it to you after a Liverpool defeat.

People just have to man up, I can take a Liverpool defeat I have done ever since I was born.
What Henry did was nothing sort of shocking, but he's a legend, just like Zidane and Maradona. The whole irony is N'gog cheated only 10 days ago, what's so different. We support a cheat when we need to and vilify when we want to. I don't think there's an individual here on this forum, who has not de-frauded someone, cheated or lied to and not thought about the consequences for that moment. By any means necessary, thats the world we live in.

Henry is still a legend
I don't think any of us supported N'gog for his dive. It's not the way I want my team to score.

The difference is N'gog cheated in a run of the mill Premiership game. There are 38 of those every season.
Henry cheated in what was the biggest match for the Irish team for years with qualification for the World Cup on the line. We haven't been to the World Cup since 2002 and hadn't looked remotely like qualifying for another tournament since. Both Henry and Ngog cheated but you have to put it in context.
