Last week I was asked to write a piece on the Henry handball incident, here is what I came up with…

Most people with a passion for football or sport in general will have heard about the debacle that was the Republic of Ireland’s exit from the World Cup a couple of weeks ago. If you’re Irish I suspect you think this is the biggest injustice ever, if you are French you will probably be thinking this a massive overreaction and entirely inconsequential and the rest of you just won’t really care. Of course, you could be Roy Keane (who I hope is reading this) and be Irish and not give a damn, in fact I think his exact words were ‘get over it’.

Everyone know the man and the song? For those that don’t, here is the song on Youtube. In that case we can begin.

Muttiah used to bowl it legit, but then he realised you can’t beat the bat, like that.
You’ve gotta bowl on, with your arm half cocked.
It doesn’t make a difference if you chuck it or not.
You’ve gotta avoid Aussie umpires for life and give it a shot.

Whoa he turns it square, whoa where is Darrell Hare,
it’s not fair he’s chucked it all year, whoa bring back Darrell Hare.
Bring back Darrell Hare…
