Officially there can't be a replay, as law of the game #5 says that all decisions made by referees are final and can't be overturned unless he is advised or decides otherwise on the spot.
On a less official note, frick Ireland for putting up such a fricking stink about it. They played 2nd best for much of the entire tie (both legs), so that's their problem. Yes it was a handball, yes Henry admitted it, case closed. The Ref missed the call, so that's all on him. You honestly can't blame Henry for just playing it like nothing wrong had happened, because that's what ANY captain trying to secure World Cup (or any major tournament, Champions League, Europa League, etc.) qualification would have done. ANY. I can't remember what Ireland player said he'd have done it himself, but that proves my point.

Uh, France's only two goals for the entire tie were both bullshite. Game 1 was a cheap arse deflection and game 2 was Hand of God v.2

take out the game 2 goal and you have no argument. the fact that Anelka bothered Shay Given at all is more than the Damien Duff can say about Hugh Lloris.

Anelka didn't do much to bother Given, his shot was going directly at him before the deflection. France looked poor all around.

I'm not denying that at all, but at least France looked like they had some bite in their attack, Ireland kept whiffing whatever they could come up with minus the one pass to Robbie Keane that he finished off like they should have done 2 or 3 more times during the second leg.
