Because the Underdogs are Irish. If it were some France vs Finland I don't think it would have got the reaction it did. If it were England vs Finland and it was Rooney they it certainly wouldn't have been. Which is my point.
It was cheating, it was unfair, we do need video replays. The usual outrage and surprise at what happen and the subsequent lynching of Henry by the press is absurd though. As I mentioned before, they are similar incidents and they are not treated the same.
