Henry plays down altercation with Wigan keeper Kirkland

[delfino_1936]

Thierry Henry has dismissed his altercation with Chris Kirkland as “funnyâ€￾.

The Arsenal captain exchanged words with the Wigan keeper when Fitz Hall turned the ball into his own net with nine minutes to go at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

It brought the scores level at 1-1. Before that, Henry believed Kirkland had been time-wasting to protect his side’s one-goal lead. Tempers flared temporarily but, at full time, both players were happy to leave their argument on the pitch.

“Kirkland started to waste time from the first minute on,â€￾ said Henry. “I do not know if you can call that fair play or not.

“It was one of the games where I ran the most because I wanted to get the ball back from him. There was a funny side to it. We were laughing about it but, at the same time, it was a bit annoying aswell.

“He just said to me: `Come on Thierry what do you want me to do?’ and I said: 'Yes, but not from the first minute’. I don’t know how many times he went from right to left and left to right. Jens did it once and he took a yellow.

“However at the end of the game it was fine. I shook Kirkland’s hand and said ‘I’m sorry but I have to say you kind of wasted time from the first minute’.â€￾

i reckon henry's right shouldnt react like that but its true he was time wasting from the word go.....lehmann gets booked the first ime he does it.....dowd is a joke....i think jewell pointed at dowd sayin he cost them the 2nd goal

i thought flamini brought heskey down and it shoulda been given....having said that if heskey followed up his shot that hit the up right instead of running to the corner to celebrate they woulda been two to the good. jewell and the owner look to be in some strife over their comments though

[delfino_1936]

yeh heskey's own fault....what about adebayor wasnt offside should've been 1-1 imo

Quote Of The Day
"They call themselves professional referees. They're not professional. They might be full-time but they're not professional. There's a big difference. Professional means you're good, or should be good. It's our living - some of these fellows think it's a hobby to them. A leading Premiership manager told me he was the worst referee in the league. I have to be careful but I thought it was there for all to see today. I'll get a letter off the FA no doubt, asking me to explain my comments. Maybe I'll send them a video of the game and say: 'there are my comments, you tell me about it'" - Paul Jewell offers an absolutely magnificient opinion of Phil Dow

he probably was time wasting but henry didnt have to act like he did it was childish and you would expect more from him

and the only reason lehmann got booked is because how stupid he was about it making it look so obvious

lehmann was behind the goals over the barrier when he was being a d**K about it thats why it was so obvious

keepers shouldnt be allowed to swap sides on a goal kick. why do they do it in the 1st place,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,to waste time or is it, another reason ?
