Final thought on Henry’s handball

I don’t think cheating is good or shouldn’t be punished. It should. Not really sure how you can do this though… perhaps France could request a replay and really confuse FIFA etc??

However…

There is no way that there can be a replay – because that will open the door for every game that turns on a dodgy incident to be replayed as well.

Also, we really live in cloud cuckoo land if we think that other Irish players haven’t cheated before.

However, it did get a great press conference out of Roy Keane.

Again, the BIG injustice was the seeding. That was scandalous. FIFA/UEFA should have nasty things done to them for that.

Get Platini and Blatter to comment on that. The Henry handball is utterly insignificant in comparison.

This is what makes football interesting… controversy.

Thierry Henry, Handball and Cheating Foreigners

If you follow me on twitter then you might have an idea of what I think about this last night… basically I do know that it is gutting to lose from a goal that shouldn’t have been allowed. It was handball in the buildup and in a perfect world Henry should have stopped and held his hand up. However, he’s not going to and nor would any of the Irish team. Nor the English team. Nor Liverpool or Manure or Chelski. Or even Wolves. If anyone is at fault it is the referee, linesman and FIFA – football should have video technology in use for controversial decisions.

This ridiculous view that only foreigners dive or cheat doesn’t even deserve a response. Get a life if you think that.

Rural Church Mission

Ok… this is not my specialty but I know some guys who have just done the most fantastic rural church mission that I’ve ever seen. Genuinely brilliant.

If you are involved in any form of rural mission then you need to get in touch with these guys… working with a group of rural churches north of Chippenham, they are all Anglican ordinands and are cutting edge in this form of stuff.

Updates to links etc

I’ve updated my links (on your left)

There are more blogs, more websites and they are a bit more ordered.

I’ve put some people in friends who are also great thinkers… so check them out.

I’ll be adding to it as I go too.

 

Also, get on Twitter – much better than Facebook as it is a great way to find interesting links to just about anything that are recommended by humans and not Google. Follow me at twitter.com/chrispfox.

Do it.

Scrubs

Only just started watching Scrubs.

It is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

There’s my next few months sorted out with box sets…

Yesterday I travelled down to Poole to the FARSIDE youth celebration where I was due to speak. I dragged a friend from college to keep me company (and awake) on the drive… and it is a slow drive. 75 miles that took 2.5hrs. Couldn’t even enjoy the scenery as it was dark when we left Brizzle.

Anyway… the event was great – about 150 youth there, lots of creativity, great worship, and good atmosphere. I spoke on Zacchaeus in Luke 19.

It is dangerous to hide up a tree when Jesus is around.

You may well get spotted.

You may lose all your money.

Photos that should never be seen…

This is hilarious…

And the next thing I want is…

My new toy

I have joined the Mac club. This one isn’t mine though although it looks the same.

So far I’ve spent ages getting information across from the old Dell laptop to the Mac. It really took ages.

Today I’ve tried to work hard (and not done too badly) but I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get things sorted out… any advice always well received!!! Twitter is THE best place to get Mac help as everyone on it seems to use one.

It is nice and shiny too…
