Cantona's justice for Henry

Eric Cantona has revealed exactly how he would have dealt with Thierry Henry’s controversial hand ball in France’s World Cup playoff against Ireland last week – he would have hit him! "If I had been an Irishman, he wouldn't have lasted three seconds," said the former Manchester United and French legend on Friday. "What shocks me the most quite frankly, is not the hand-ball. What shocks me the most is that this player, at the end of the game, in front of the TV cameras, went to sit down next to an Ireland player to comfort him - when he had just screwed him." Henry set up William Gallas for the goal which ended Ireland's World Cup dream of playing in the 2010 World Cup. TV replays prove that the former Arsenal star clearly used his hand to control the ball in the lead to the goal.
