Shame!

Jog on you tramp.

Don’t lash out at me just because you have feelings of shame and humiliation now that your hero has been exposed for what most of the rest of us have known him to be for a long time.

Watch your step going home later.

:eek:

The YBIG chaps getting all upset over not getting to show their banner it seems. And what sort of name is Zeno?

Delaney is desperate if that’s his game. Only a matter of time before the scumbag is gone.

Thank you John

Niall Quinn has revealed that a key part of the negotiations to take the player to Sunderland from Derry City in 2012 was to ensure McClean’s registration switched from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland.

The former Republic of Ireland striker was on the Sunderland board when McClean joined the club in August 2011 for £350,000, and handled the club’s negotiations for the player. Quin also made contact with the Football Association of Ireland to begin the process.

“We held negotiations in Castleknock, Dublin when I was back home to see the All Ireland Gaelic football semi-final in 2011,” Quinn told Sky Sports.

"James’ agent, Eamonn McLoughlin, was always a very likeable guy as agents go, easy to deal with. All through the deal there was one burning issue that Eamonn pushed for. He wanted me to call the FAI and tell them James wanted to switch from Northern Ireland to the Republic. We agreed a fee with further payments if James made the first team and another payment if James played for Ireland.

“I spoke to John Delaney at the FAI. I explained how we at Sunderland felt this lad had a decent chance and asked JD to consider securing him for Giovanni Trapattoni. John showed great faith too by starting the paperwork and he also invited James’ parents to the next Irish game in Dublin. Meanwhile James had arrived in Sunderland.”

Well done John. Tried to help the OCI out but they were beyond helping. Lesson learned

They will have to beg him to step in and sort it out yet

A man above reproach.

John started the paperwork?
Well bugger me with a fish fork. What a guy.

I got an awful shock this morning on the radio when I heard John was resigning. Thank God it was only from the OCI.

He was only at something like 5 of the last 18 OCI meetings. Would I be naïve in thinking he only took 5/18 of his director’s fees?
