Short memory, Thierry? When Henry raged over 'goal' ruled out for... handball
As the fallout from Thierry Henry's 'Hand of Le God' incident in the World Cup play-off continues, we have been left wondering at what point the Barcelona striker lost his moral compass.[LNB]When Henry bagged a goal for Arsenal in the Champions League against CSKA Moscow in 2006, it was struck off after the referee judged he had handled before scoring. And the Frenchman exploded with rage at the official's decision. [LNB]After the Gunners' defeat in Moscow he squealed: 'I'm more than angry. If you look at the replay, you will see it was not handball. I was shocked that the referee gave me a yellow. It was a good goal.' [LNB] Zut alors! Thierry Henry, playing for Arsenal in 2006, shoots past CSKA keeper Igor Akinfeev (above) but can't believe it when his goal is disallowed for handball[LNB] But now Henry is the one to have benefitted it's different, simply a case of c'est la vie. [LNB]After the draw with Ireland he shrugged his shoulders and claimed 'I'm not the referee' and expects us all to swallow the most blatant piece of cheating we've seen in decades. [LNB]On the night in Moscow he implored: 'Look at the replays, go on. I asked the ref and he said he couldn't tell me why he gave the handball. Only the linesman, who was 60-yards away, gave it but I asked him what he saw and he couldn't tell me.' [LNB] Ooh la la : Henry then remonstrates with the referee, pleading he had not used his arm, and shows his displeasure to the assistant referee (below) [LNB] [LNB] Henry also added: 'But you know what they say, what goes around, comes around.' Quite.[LNB]But the referee's actions that night in Moscow only cost Arsenal a single point in Europe. Henry's cheating has cost Ireland a place at the World Cup Finals.[LNB] Infamous: Henry handles the ball before France score against Ireland last night[LNB] Hand of the devil: Thierry Henry slated by French media after handball punches a hole in Irish World Cup dreamsRepublic of Ireland call for France replay after Thierry Henry's handball scandalVIDEO SPECIAL: Thierry Henry joins Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero among others in football's handballing cheats hall of fameARSENAL FC
