I didn't say it was too close to call... I had an opinion but I chose to differ to the experts... all of which state it was an obvious blown call.

That's an easier one to shoot down. The ref who allowed Henry to catch the ball and set it down before the goal allowing France to beat Ireland (just as big blown call, and more obvious) got no punishment.
