Thierry Henry was so incensed at the decision to rule out a perfectly legitimate goal in tonights Champions League clash, that the player usually cool and calm in all situations used the word ‘piss’ in an interview.
Having not been in a position to watch the game (bloody late shift)I can’t acurately comment on the match itself (Mr Stillman will provide the match report) the only thing I can comment on is Mr Henry’s outburst.
Leaving work I didn’t think the result was too disasterous as it something that can be very easily rectified, but having now seen the incident I’m more than a little peeved that we didn’t come away with a point.
An anger that is clearly echo’ed in Henry’s post match interview.
‘The referee claimed I took it with my right arm and put it in front straight away.’
‘The goalkeeper looked at me and had a little giggle about it. The centre back clapped the ref and was taking the piss out of him.’
‘I think it’s a disgrace. I asked the ref what did he see and he couldn’t tell me. He said at the end he didn’t talk about it anymore. He was happy to talk about other stuff with the boss but not that.’
‘It was a clear goal from me, whatever you want to say about it. I’m sorry but, once again, I don’t know what to say about that.’
‘To give me a yellow straight away – please, look at the replay.’
I can honestly say that I have never seen Thierry so wound up, a clear signal that he is telling the truth, although you don’t have to take his word for it – Just look at the replay.
Thierry Henry – Top Geezer.
