The Hand Of Strangford

Mark Devenport | 12:43 UK time, Thursday, 19 November 2009

Kieran McCarthy must have been up to high doh last night. The Strangford MLA has denounced the Henry handball as an "absolute scandal...The FAI should demand a replay in Paris for next week. If FIFA do not agree to this measure the FAI should seriously consider suing them for the revenue lost as a result of missing out on one of the most lucrative events in world sport."

Following swiftly on from the Irish Justice Minister Dermot Ahern's demand for a replay, the Strangford intervention will surely tip the balance with Sepp Blatter.

If FIFA don't respond maybe the Executive could take unilateral action, say, by refusing to host Olympic soccer in our new multi-sports stadium. Oh we did that already. Any other ideas?
