Ireland's outrage … continued

Folks in Ireland are calling for a rematch from FIFA in light of this blatant hand ball.

“If the game’s going to survive, it’s got to be an equal playing field,” (Ireland's Liam) Brady (who obviously has something to do with Ireland's team) told RTE Radio. “If we’re going to have integrity and dignity in the world game, the game should be replayed. And we’ll go to Paris to play it." 

Ireland's Minister of Justice even joined the chorus.

The entire fate of a sport is at stake.

Write your representative, senator and ambassadors. This cannot stand.

    Officiating mistakes are part of the game, Pat. Did you call for replays of Yankees games when blown calls were made in the playoffs? Should we replay the SEC games from earlier this year?

    I feel for Ireland, but human error is part of the game.

    On a related topic, folks in Cleveland are demanding a rematch of the 1987 AFC championship game since Rich Karlis' allegedly game winning field goal was blatantly wide.
