I think FIFA should do something, stuff like this makes the credibility of the World Cup go down to the floor. I can't believe a team went through to the most important football event in the World by cheating and they don't do anything !
That ref in particular in the past didn't do a good job so they might give him a rest for a while. It happens in other tournaments or leagues. Some don't ref internationally or go in lower leagues.

but they didnt, ireland played more than just this game and had favorable decisions go their way as well. We should not act on impulse and emotions(it's too much to ask a girl isnt it ) but abide by rules.

should we punish every handball? should we only punish handballs in the area? or should we punish handballs in the area in extra time of "important" games? It has to be consistent; like i said its really unfortunate that it happened in those circumstances but i'm against PR fines/suspensions. The ref had no way of seeing it, and it seems he followed procedure so he should not be punished either.
yes but it's instinct, it's not like he had time to think of the whole situation and weigh out all of its consequences. So imo he might be getting a little too much crap for this.

it's unfair if you only look at that game for reference but if you look at it as a whole, meaning all decisions go for and against either team throughout qual's, the result might be a lot closer to fair.

But one could say it would be instinct to kill Zidane after he head butts you to save your life... doesn't make it right.
As a pro you know your boundaries, and even as a player in the game for 15 years I don't recall intentionally using my hand because it's against the rules...

But he touched it twice. The first time it more or less just hit him, pure instincts I'd say. The second time he controlled it with his hand, he knocked it in away from the touchline.
