Poor Ireland. Controversy is killing football.

Some quotes about the crucial playoff, which left me fuming.

''It was a handball, but I'm not the ref,'' he said on BBC Radio Five Live. ''The ball hit my arm, fell in front of me and I played it. The ref allowed it. That's a question you should ask him.''

Trapattoni said: ''I am not only disappointed, I am also sad. It is a bitter evening. It's a bitter situation. I would prefer to have gone out on penalties. I am sad because the referee had time to ask the linesman. I am sure he should have, and he could have confirmed it was handball.

''I am upset. We speak many times about fair play. I go to schools and speak about fair play. I speak with the young kids about sport. Its important in life. Everybody saw the game. You know what happened.''

After the match, an angry Keane lambasted FIFA's 11th hour decision to seed the World Cup play-off draw in favour of the big teams, which ultimately pitted the Irish against France, and the Ireland international claims FIFA president Sepp Blatter and his UEFA counterpart Michel Platini got the result they would have wanted.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker claims that when it emerged that established football powers such as France, Portugal and at one stage Germany could be involved in the play-offs, football's governing bodies quickly went back on their initial decision not to seed the knock-out ties.

"Of course it is an easy decision to do the seedings," Keane told BBC Radio Five Live. "They're all probably clapping hands, Platini sitting up there on the phone to Sepp Blatter, probably texting each other, delighted with the result, with France (getting through)."

Nothing more to say. What a big mess. Controversy is killing the beautiful game of football.

Three Newcastle United Players Vital for Premier League Promotion

Newcastle United has off-loaded alot of players to survive the cut in revenue when they were relegated to the Championship. However, they retain some good players, the so-called “core” players that will take them to the Premier League again. Here are three most important players for Newcastle United.

4. Kevin Nolan

This former Bolton captain has already found the net 8 times this season. He is extremely vital for several Newcastle matches as he scored the only or vital goal to win the game. Midfield is the most important position in soccer, and it is an added bonus if your midfielder can score goals. Newcastle United must thanks Kevin Nolan for his performance to guide Newcastle United to the top of the league.

18. Jonas Gutierrez

After his first goal for Newcastle United against Peterborough, there is no doubt Jonas Gutierrez will be instrumental in supplying chances for the strikers. Anyone who saw his goal will be extremely impress. It was a one man show as he sprinted down the left flank, cut in to the box and scored. Jonas Gutierrez aka Spiderman, named after his infamous spiderman mask celebration, will only improve with first team chances for both Newcastle United and Argentina.

24. Andrew Carroll

Andy Carroll has been impressive for both country and club. Burst into the senior team last season, the young striker has been improving even since. With his tall frame, defenders will find him very troublesome when he is inside the box. Headers will be easy for him considering his height. With 4 goals to his name this season, he will continue to thrive as he continues to enjoy first team opportunity in England and Newcastle United.

Starhub gets iPhone, 3 way battles begin

It might be a little bit late for Starhub, but people using Starhub should be relive now. The iPhone for Starhub will be launch at end of 2009, which is around the same time where M1 will also be releasing the iPhone. I don't really think the price of iPhone will drop significantly though. However, I guess it will be very cool to enjoy Starhub Mobile Tv on the glorious 3.5" screen of iPhone. Unfortunately, with Starhub losing the rights of EPL broadcast next season, perhaps soccer fans should head down to Singtel who owns the rights of EPL and Champions League.

Hopefully Singtel will release some Mobile TV thingy soon!

Window 7 vs Apple Snow Leopard

I have to really agree about the 'colourful spinning beachball' as a great annoyance for the Snow Leopard OS. Very very irritating. Is this more of a bug of Snow Leopard, or is more memory needed? My Firefox on Mac always freezes and show the spinning beachball.

Hope this well change. This is giving me doubts about Mac OS being the better operating system.
