I loved that story of @mickee321 pal and Franz Beckenbaur having that chat about Delaās credentials over at the UEFA Executive Council Election in 2017.
Dela was up against David Gill and all these hotshots, but the Germanās all still voted for JD.
We didnāt know what we had, until it was gone.

He transformed the National Stadium and played a key role in building the Centre of Excellence in Abbotstown too.
Remember the Senior Mens National Team were training on a car park in Malahide when Dela took over.
Shamrock Rovers were homeless for 20 years when Dela took over, and low and behold the magnificent Tallaght Stadium gets built.
All with public money that he swindled out of for his own benefit
Iām sure Beckenbaur saw his qualities alright.
Can we still order hits? Surely someone can do a number on that cunt
Madness would they ever leave the poor lad alone ffs
Dela also asked could they add an extra team to the world cup because of a refereeing decisionā¦a measured gent

He got a few million in compensation instead.

Back around 2012 Ireland was drifting nowhere post the Celtic tiger.
Euro 2012 lifted the whole country. It made people dream again. We barely looked back until the dreaded Covid hit.

Euro 2012 is completely forgotten and was shortly after the tournament,
Never really grabbed the public imagination
What happened in 2012? Was that the one where we embarrassed the fuck out of ourselves?
Hush money, where did it go?
Coneceded 9 goals and scored one lost all 3 handsomely
The country never looked back post 2012 except maybe for the miserable lads on here
And Paddy singing the whole time. Cringe City.
Ireland went in to recession in 2013
