You’d almost wonder did yer man know this 
I thought the bit about him trying to use his swing with UEFA to get the Scottish lad into a spot of bother and the subsequent pettiness and unprofessionalism Delaney showed by sitting him off in a corner at an official meeting was a great way of showing how Delaney was so ruthless with those that didn’t sing from the same hymn sheet as him.
That was all they needed from him really but they obviously recorded more with him when they did interview him and opted not to leave it on the floor of the editing studio.
Would have loved to have a bit with McCarthy about his dealings with him.
Lookit, if the club wanted more grants, they just had to apply for fencing and the like, and John would not only get them a grant, he’d even put them in touch with the contractor iirc.
That was it. You could get a grant as long as you used John’s preferred supplier.
Sounds very much like the “support local” initiative that’s been prevalent during the pandemic.
The only local the John Delaney was interested in supporting was all of those that resided between the top of his head and tips of his toes.
What’s worse is that he must have known that the writing would be on the wall after Hickey got found out. It’s like when a gambler gets into way too much debt and is hoping for a miracle to come so they can balance the books.
But the Scottish guy was just some random bloke with a random story. He most probably did act the bollix in the first place with the tickets. I was confused by what he said. Ireland didn’t receive any more tickets yet they were playing the match in a bigger stadium. He mentioned something about 5% of capacity being still in play but that seems bad form to me.
There was more than enough other stuff than giving airtime to an unsubstantiated story by what is most likely another prick of a national football administrator.
The 100k bonus to Mick was the best. Laughable.
Along with a 20k bar bill.
120k the night cost the FAI.
John woke up dying the next morning, realised what he had done, and tried to smear McCarthys advisers.
True, bloody hell.
Bizarre how the Irish media pursue Delaney vigorously and collectively but back off when it’s a FFG holder of public office.
Noel Rock grandstanding about Dela when he was contacting him trying to get favours done.
The Free State media are nothing but curs and dogs.
Instead of guaranteed Eire, it was guaranteed Dela
They pursued him vigorously and collectively only when he was already a dead duck.
They facilitated/ignored his corruption for years.
Look over there, look over there.
When was he already a dead duck.
The Irish media always had it in for Dela.
