Ray, I reckon the outcry would be much worse actually. Remember there are approx 57 million Frenchmen/women, but only approx 5.5 million Irish. I suppose at least they have the decency to feel embarrassed about the incident though.
However, when they (the French) feel a sense of national injustice, my goodness the whole world has to know about it. If Robbie Keane had done what Henry did , I suspect we would have the channel ports blockaded by now even though it was nothing to do with the English! But then again Robbie Keane does play for Spurs.
Can't think of one other issue in recent history that has managed to unite all the Irish and the decent minded Brits. That probably has to do with our sense of sporting 'fair play'.
