Ireland was robber again!

Why does it seem that Ireland always get's the bad calls. These are just not bad calls there are blatant, unjust and border on a conspiracy against Ireland. This blue player is clearly offsides, there is not even a question. This was not close.

This reminds me of the non Henry offside and hand ball not once but twice that went against Ireland.
UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

This also reminds me of the 2000 US Cup. This was a 4 nation tournament with USA, Mexico, Ireland and S Africa. The Irish had the lead 1-0 against USA in the second game. All the Irish had to do was beat the leaker South Africa nation to win the tournament. The Irish retained their lead until Ante Razov evened the match with a controversial goal. Earnie Stewart hit a clearly off-side Razov who scored as the Irish players stood still anticipating that the referee would whistle the ball dead. Instead, the referee and linesmen, all from Mexico, allowed the goal. The Irish hinted after the game that there was a conspiracy to have either USA or Mexico wins this tournament. Ireland did beat South Africa but lost the tournament to the USA….because of this non call.                                                                                                                                           

 This was the last of 7 successful tournaments because the lack of professionalism and fan pessimism as to the legitimacy of the refs and honesty of the tournament. It was a shame sine the Irish national team had great fan support in the states.
