No replay U-turn for FIFA despite crisis meeting

Soccer's governing body FIFA is not considering a U-turn over their decision to refuse a replay of Ireland's World Cup qualifying match against France, which controversially sealed Ireland's exit from the competition.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has called an extraordinary meeting of FIFA’s executive committee to deal with the fall-out of the match in Paris where Thierry Henry’s obvious handball led to the goal that caused Ireland’s defeat in the play-off.
