I remember DiCanio caught the ball mid play before because a player was down injured and the ref wouldn't stop play. He was rightly applauded
If the player really was injured of course Originally posted by germcevoy:[..]
you will very rarely see that type of sportsmanship in the game nowadays. Henry has admitted handling the ball and himself suggested that a replay of the game would be a fair outcome but Fifa themselves are cunts. France and all its big names stars are worth more dollar in the world cup than what Ireland would be had they progressed. The sport has gone to shit. Things like this happen week in and week out and they just allow it.
