FAI Could Sue If FIFA Ban The Thief Of St Denis

CATEGORIES: News | POSTED BY: | December 3, 2009 at 1:17 am

Sportspeak understands that the Thief  Of St denis Thierry Henry could be banned after his eminence Sepp Blatter announced his blatant handball would now finally at long last be investigated. The sensational posibilty could leave FIFA open to a legal action from the FAI as their protests will have been proved should FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee rule against Henry, who handled the ball in the build-up to France’s crucial goal in the play-off in Paris last month that saw them secure their place in the finals, they could impose a match ban that could see him miss the start of the finals in South Africa next June

“The disciplinary  committee will open a case into the behaviour of Thierry Henry in the match against Ireland,” Blatter said.

“It is not a question of it being Thierry Henry or another player. But it was blatant unfair play and was shown all over the world. I am not saying that Thierry Henry will be punished, what I am saying is that he will be examined by the disciplinary committee.”
The disciplinary committee does have the power to ban the player and the fact a case has been opened against him suggests he could well be sanctioned with a ban from France’s next competitive matches which will be at the finals.Blatter said the disciplinary committee will also investigate trouble at the World Cup match between Algeria and Egypt and that a working group would be set up to look at the future of the World Cup qualifying competition and whether play-offs should continue.
