Gillette insist they're happy with their relationship with Barcelona striker Thierry Henry, despite his hand-ball controversy.

Gillette, who feature the Barcelona forward prominently in their advertising, refused to be dragged into Henry's row with Irish football supporters.

A spokesman told the Daily Star: “Gillette is aware of what happened last night in the World Cup play-off game. Thierry Henry has publicly acknowledged it was a handball.

“Gillette are not placed to comment on any refereeing decisions made in the match or any refereeing at all for that matter.

“This is not going to affect our relationship with Thierry Henry.”
