Thierry Henry passing the ball for Gallas to score in 2009 against Ireland. He should have shot and claimed the glory. Think he regretted that as Gallas is a bollocks.

Very interesting article. I didn't realise Australia had Apartheid Laws as late as that.

I saw the movie Jackie about the first black Major League Baseball player, Jackie Robinson. Naked racism is a very sick form of illness.

We had worse in 85 final. Joe Cooney hit a shot that went in to the net but hit the goalie's puck out hurl and bounced back out. Umpire somehow thought it hit the post and we went on to lose by 2 points.
