A group of us have always done our best to attend Ireland games together. Used to meet in the 51 and if someone could help another member of the group out he would.
Some years back the fai launched their premium ticket allocation scheme. Within our group we secured a number of seats. Since then we have passed them around as we have had more members in the group then tickets. I’ve never really been too sticky about what fixtures I got to attend and have done my share of the lower rung games - eg iceland , Uruguay friendlies etc. I was the only member of our group to attend the fai final on a bitter cold afternoon but I knew it was important one of us show up to take our trademark seats.
At the recent serbia match I filled in at short notice for another me ever who couldn’t make it. I didn’t complain and was quick to push a 50 note towards the holder of the ticket.
Now I appreciate this is our last formal group game but I felt somewhat shafted by my group when I was informed by sms that I ‘didn’t make the cut this time round’ . I feel strongly that those who made the effort for the less glamourois ties should be rewarded for this tie.
How should I approach this ?
Go to the rubby mate.
Who decides if you ‘make the cut’ or not?
I’m catholic
That makes it awkward. Maybe a donation to the rnli would lift your mood.
Think it’s a shady enough system. One of the moderators set up a holding company to manage allocation; I think I was up to date with any requested Payments but not very transparent.
A different group member persistently had his nephew in plum seats and no money changed hands. Seemed like every time I was there said nephew was living it up. One rule for some I suppose …
That sounds very formal - I thought you were a bunch of mates.
Do you have access to automatic or semi automatic firearms ?
Don’t let those Conspiring cunts make a fool out of you.
the Cunt sees himself as an international business man and tends towards these arrangements
What does the contract say you’re entitled to?
Your status in the Republican Movement must be low or diminished . They wouldn’t fuck like that with a operative republican or are they taking advantage of the peace process .
Sounds like @Funtime never read the T&C’s. I bet @Bandage moved him off his tracker rate payment as well the fucker
He was like a lamb to the slaughter entering into an arrangement with experienced international financiers and business men.
so i spoke to a moderator recently regarding the allocation of tickets for the playoffs. there was a reluctance among other members of our small tight knit group to commit to attending in advance of the draw, i think some of the bigger wheels within the group were keeping their powder dry to see if we drew either of the big guns italy or Croatia.
I was happy to commit without knowing who we might draw.
in the end we didnt get a glamour tie but i felt obliged to follow through on my commitment.
having made arrangements to go - surprise surprise the only other confirmed attendee was the moderator’s nephew - i now find myself being shunned by our group.
where do i stand here legally? i dont want to start getting @artfoley to start throwing high court injunctions around but i do feel that i am not being given a fair allocation here. seems to be a small cohort of our group who were closer to the original transaction with regard to acquiring the tickets are now hoarding the allocation from the broader group.
is a draw the fairest outcome or should i stand firm and demand a ticket?
You should absolutely demand a ticket. These cunts are taking you for a mug and the nephew should be told fuck off.
im dealing with some pretty powerful guys though. one guy is an international financier
Shocked and appalled at the revelations in this thread.
Be careful mate. He nearly ended a pro golfers career one time because he didn’t like the look of him.
+1. This moderator’s nephew character comes across as a right little self-entitled, grasping bastard.
You need to walk up to the most powerful of them and smash the bastard right in the face… Prison rules, mate… If you let them fuck you now you’ll continue to be fucked forever.
