  1. FAI
    Fool am I ( for paying for it)
    Fans Are Idiots
    Flying Around for an Inflatable ( at great cost)
    Find Another Irishman
    Find Another Italian
    Fund Another Incompetent
    Finances Are Invisible
    F*(4 @11 intelligence

    Not for me, any more. I am done with the FAI, the Grab All Association, The pumped up peanut passers, etc….

  2. The Delaney era for the FAI was generally great. Great days. Qualified for all the major tournaments. We ran out of money when we stopped qualifying for tournaments. Of course it's easy for the mob to dump on Delaney now. It's like back in the days of Rome. Irish football is all about qualifying for major tournaments. If we don't do that we are at nothing.

  3. When Quinn was appointed interim CEO I was hopeful. Since he left and they shipped in people from the equally corrupt Olympic council to the board and kept the old guard. I gave up. FAI is a joke.

  4. Why didn't you all listen to Roy KEANE in Sipam then Nial instead you all humiliated him for telling the truth shame Love BRIAN KERR a true football man shame on the rest of you

  5. The Delaney era was extremely damaging to Irish Football. The lack of inward investment in our own league really is disgraceful when you hear of the millions pocketed and wasted by this man. There is no justifying it. I think its evidently clear now the national side is not what it was and if there was ever a time to focus and invest local clubs its now.

  6. I will never watch or support the Irish football team until John Deleaney is in jail. He is a thief, pure and simple. Same for anyone at board level who did nothing to stop them, the whole point of a board is to take responsibility in a devolved manner. If they were too spineless to do anything they are not board material, and or were involved in the whole charade. Anyone still around at that level needs to go, probably the next management level also.

  7. Delaney ran the FAI like a putin regime , no one asked questions and those that did were moved on .usual story walk away with big payoff rewarded for his failure .

  8. Oh,as a Nordie who listened to the defence of the man when he sang provo songs how the karma makes me laugh.If I were a southern fan,listening to Quinn talk about the "brand" I would want to vomit.

  9. Hated Keane when he was playing for Manchester United but donโ€™t get me wrong, he was a winner & had a hunger to succeed. Whilst I hated him, I respected him too. Iโ€™m not an Irish football fan by any means but he was right all along. He was portrayed as the pantomime villain for Saipan but he was spot-on. Delaney was a bent fucker who stole money from the development of Irish football to fill his pockets. He manipulated the fans by getting them rounds during the the games rather than making a statement for Irish football & investing into the football clubs. McCarthy was effectively his yes man & Keane exposed that. Maybe he should have gritted his teeth & played at Japan/South Korea 2002, but the damage was done with those 2 crooks Delaney & McCarthy.

  10. As Pat Dolan said years ago, the FAI needs to be cleaned out from the CEO right down to the tea lady in the canteen. Rotten corporate culture to the core. Multiple levels of management whose only skill is to delegate. It's rampant in Irish culture in general unfortunately.

  11. Shocking how Brian Kerr was treated. He was a man willing to put his heart and soul in to Irish football and he was thrown aside by snakes and traitors.

  12. We need to start from grassroots up look at what irish rugby has done and copy i went to a rugby school and 70% of us where into football yet no school football team and the football team we could of had would of been ten times better than our rugby team. Get goal poast and 2 blokes of the dole get them there bages into ever school in ireland set up a proper schools leauge with a schools cups and lets try get a reliable source of home grown players it would cost fuck all and give us some chance later down road
