What an utter cretin Delaney is.[SIZE=6] :smiley:

FAI spent €10K deleting John Delaney’s comments on FIFA ‘corruption’ from match programme[/SIZE]

The FAI have spent €10,000 replacing match programmes for today’s crunch Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland to erase comments John Delaney made about alleged corruption at FIFA.

The move meant that 18,000 programmes were shredded and replaced at the 11th hour to remove comments from a feature from John Delaney on the recent revelations about alleged corruption in world football.

A further 18,000 of the €5 programmes had to be printed to replace those destroyed at an estimated cost of €10,000.

The FAI told the Irish Daily Mail last night that the action had been taken without the knowledge of chief executive John Delaney and had been approved by the communications team at the association.

A statement read: "John Delaney was entirely unaware of this change to the programme. He had already signed off on it and it was approved for printing.

“The decision to delete his comments where they related to FIFA was an editorial one that was taken by the communications team.”

Some disgruntled fans have organised a banner saying ‘DELANEY OUT’ to be flown over the Aviva Stadium during the Scotland match in a protest over his leadership.

John Delaney has come under fire in recent weeks following the increased scrutiny over a €5m payment made to the FAI from FIFA following the controversial Thierry Henry handball.

Delaney last week revealed the money was arranged by Sepp Blatter after the team controversially lost a play-off against France in 2009 and was secured from FIFA after a heated exchange with Blatter in his office and the FIFA boss joking that the Republic sought to be team 33 at the World Cup in South Africa.

Delaney claimed the money was paid to stave off a threatened a lawsuit against FIFA after officials missed the handball by Henry to set up a goal for William Gallas.

The terms were originally confidential, the FAI has said, but the money was also due to be repaid if the Republic qualified for the subsequent 2014 World Cup.

I would go with a lopsided 4 man midfield with Whelan screening, Hendrick tucked in on the right and McGeady pushed with licence to roam. Get an hour our of Keane & Hendrick and then bring on McClean and Houlahan for the last half an hour. Long on for the last 20 for either Walters or Whelan depending how the game is going.

Coleman- O’Shea-Wilson-Brady

You weird bastard - Celtic is a beacon of Irish greatness on the world stage. I’ve no intention of befriending any jockos and I suspect you’re projecting your own horrible intentions onto me. Standing there sharing insights into the junior game here and there, won’t you? You pathetic fucking prick.

After not bothering my arse looking for one over the past few weeks, I have secured an agreement for a cut-price ticket to this. I’ll be meeting my ticket contact at the Wellington at Baggot Street Bridge, which means I’ll be walking to the stadium via Haddington Road. For those in the 51 pub, you’ll know I’m passing when a bottle hits the back of your head.

I presume you picked that colour to match your cowardly character?

Perhaps you’re thinking of suicide?

Easier ways. Blandage has a balcony, I hear.

193

What’s the Hamishes team likely to be?

Would say:

[CENTER]Marshall

Hutton Martin Berra Robertson

Morrison Brown McArthur Anya

Naismith Maloney [/CENTER]

194

Bunch of fucking no-hopers

195

Sirloin steak and chips consumed, scheduled departure at 14:30.

196

Nota benae: they were not oven chips.

197

While I hope you are right, what is your overly optimistic prediction based on?!

Late goals papered no cracks . The ROI squad is pretty average all told and we are doing well enough to be competitive in a mediocre group Germany excepted
The optimism is because was are playing Scotland . They are mediocre .[/QUOTE]
Are you taking the piss? They changed the qualifying so that teams like Ireland are nearly guaranteed to get at least a play off and we aren’t looking like we’ll even get that

199

Fucking scotch cunts all over the place. A despicable shower.

Me, @ClarkeyCat[/USER], @Jugs, [USER=56]@LetterkennyMan[/USER], [USER=1703]@Dex and @steamboatsam just made wanking gestures at their players and staff as they passed by my gaff in their team bus. We also shouted abuse at them but they couldn’t hear us as they were inside the bus. Jocko bastards.
