Villa defender Dunne: Platini loves slagging off English game

Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne has slammed FIFA president Sepp Blatter over his latest offer to cheated Republic of Ireland.

Blatter suggested the game's governing body hand over a consolation prize after France's Hand of Frog goal when Thierry Henry's handball helped KO the Irish.

Villa defender Dunne snapped: "It's taking the p*** again. Give them a plaque because they are not going to the World Cup. They can keep it.

"There was no chance they would ever look at a replay - the whole thing is run by the French. Michel Platini is not happy unless he is slagging off the English League."
