When Thierry Henry had a pop at Javier Hernandez last night, every Irish football fan was united in a nationwide “do ya hear this fella?”

Sky Sports pundit Henry said: “What I don’t like is that he celebrates like he has just won the World Cup. It’s a tap in. Turn around and celebrate with Ronaldo.

“He knew he had to perform and he had a couple of chances to do it. Even the camera knew, the camera is on Ronaldo for a reason.”

UFC welterweight Cathal Pendred thought the exact same as he called the Frenchman out via Twitter today.

Probably not wise for Thierry to respond with any degree of back talk.
