Sepp Blatter – A new Friend for Thierry Henry!

Sepp Blatter reveals to a full press room in South Africa for a World Cup briefing that a delegation from the FAI – who ahd travelled to Zurich last week met the FIFA President for discussion on the Thierry Henry incident – We all thought that they had let it go!

He tells us that they ad requested a place in next summer’s finals as a 33rd team.

“They were naturally absolutely unhappy at what has happened,”" he said. “They know the match cannot be replayed. They have asked, very humbly ‘can’t we be team No 33 at the World Cup?’”"

He continues “They have asked for that, really..” and laughs and along with him , the teams of press gathered.”I will bring it to the attention of the executive committee but if we do that, we will also have to bring in Costa Rica.”

Costa Rica has made a similar complaint to FIFA dude to a decision made by a FIFA referee against Uruguay.

We understand they have to be fair to all , but the top man in FIFA lauging at a Professional Irish Body – I can feel the uproar already!
