I forgot to mention the success of Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers in Europe(had any league of Ireland side done anything in Europe in the previous 20 years bar Shelbourne 2004?), the performances of our underage sides in recent years and of course being on track to be debt free for the Aviva by next year.

There are 183 with B and 40 odd with A. In the entire country

He should step in for Regional Utd. Been dumped out of the FAI junior cup after beating Sherriff FC is bad aul form in fairness. They would be playing Aisling Annacotty n the semi-final who they’d bate handy enough and are now denied a chance of a final in the Aviva. Harsh.

Don’t hold your breath.

The only time Barcelona were refused a friendly in their illustrious history was by the FAI who were sickened Limerick organised it outside of Dublin

Ah tis all the one to me. Lot of talk about it locally at the moment though. Another Limerick junior club ratted them out for an illegal player, allegedly.

Stadium infrastructure was seemingly the big flaw in the Ireland 2023 Rugby World Cup bid. Delaney doesn’t have a great record on that front so don’t see what he would have brought to the table there. Under Delaney’s tenure Eire soccer stadia remained largely in the same decrepit state they have been in since the early 1970’s. Delaney was happen to continue FAI policy of the Irish rugby community bailing out the scummy Eire soccer crowd by hosting nearly all their international matches.

Amidst it all the Gaa bailed both out while they were homeless.

When the IRFU hadn’t a pot to piss in they had to go to support Apartheid South Africa to raise funds.

That’s an ooft.

Soccer played Pinochet’s Chile to be fair and regularly played behind the Iron Curtain . They also played Israel .

He has a successful pedigree of bringing international events to Ireland

Lansdowne Road, the home of Irish rugby has been staging rugby internationals since 1878.

How is Dalymount Park the traditional home of Eire international soccer doing these days? What’s its current capacity?

Home fixtures in fixed competitions

“The iron curtain”

The Europa league final?

The 2023 champions league final

ST reporting FAI paid John’s rent in addition to his salary.

How many different nations have played rugby union in Landsdowne Road. Would rugby be a global sport? I wouldn’t know much about it.
