FRANCE coach Raymond Domenech may be madder than his countrymen in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but he has not lost the capacity to shock with his consistently bizarre o
Under pressure France boss Raymond Domenech has publicly declared that he will not resign from his post at any stage, no matter how unpopular he becomes with followers of les Bleus. The 57 year-old has been under-fire even more than usual this week, after the nations unconvincing performances in World cup qualification, culminating in the furore that followed the tie against the Republic of Ireland....
France coach Raymond Domenech has condemned the backlash against Thierry Henry following his part in the controversial goal which secured the country's World Cup qualification.
France coach Raymond Domenech on Monday dismissed claims that he had received a bonus of 862,000 euros for successfully guiding the side to next year's World Cup finals. The combative 57-year-old - whose team reached the finals in controversial circumstances last Wednesday as Thierry Henry's double handball set up the decisive goal in the 2-1 aggregate victory over the Republic of Ireland - told France...
As I was being physically crippled during a squash match last week (albeit on a deferred by 24 hours basis) I was lucky enough to have an opponent who competed with the spirit of that vague notion “fair play”.

Indeed, it has now emerged that ...
Thierry Henry's handball against Ireland capped a miserable sporting year of shameless cheating It was another Frenchman, Jean‑Paul Sartre, who cooked up the phrase "by any means necessary" as a war cry to eradicate class in Gallic society. Then along came Thierry Henry to invert its purpose as the strong stamped on the weak on the road to the World Cup. That's the last time we'll...
FIFA has said no replay. Sepp Blatter, President of FIFA, has been silent. France just said no to a replay. Thierry "Hands" Henry, captain of Les Bleus, belatedly said that there should be a replay. Perhaps his agent told him that his legacy (and obituary) would be that in a key game to save his national team from humiliation, he guided a ball with his hand in extra time to steer a World...
Former France international and Manchester United legend Eric Cantona launched his singular type of blast at both Raymond Domenech and Thierry Henry after his national team reached the World Cup at the expense of Ireland, and, in the case of Henry, by foul means rather than fair.
Everyone is having their s(pr)ay about the already notorious Thierry Henry incident. That his act was abominably unethical is undisputed; the more significant fallout from his brazen piece of gamesmanship is likely to be yet more discussion about the issue of video assistance for referees. To clear the ground first: the calls for a replay of the match are essentially unfounded. The precedents quoted...
What can you say that hasn't already been said. The event has been qualified as "shameful" The national verdict on Thierry Henry's "Hand of God" goal that qualified France for the 2010 World Cup in South Afrcia. General public and media view of the French team's performance last Wednesday night against Ireland at the Stade de France - "pitiful" . The Irish deserved to...
France midfielder Lassana Diarra believes it would be a mistake to get rid of under-fire coach Raymond Domenech, despite the national team's disappointingshowing at Euro 2008...
