Henry coming out saying a replay would be the fairest option, in relation to the World Cup qualifying game this week where he handled the ball, is a noble move, but I suggest an even fairer option would be to restart the game at 1-0 to Ireland with the same amount of time on the clock as there was when he handled the ball to set up a goal.
Of course his statement was a little like you promising your friends money if you win lotto – that is in the knowledge that it is incredibly unlikely to happen. FIFA would be setting a dangerous precedent to allow a replay of a match because of one bad referee call.
