Ok maybe Michael O'Leary. But he is so good he can do anything he likes.

Why is he going onto TV shows talking about his love life ?

Because he's a Nob end that thinks people actually care about him......The frickin state of the Chav in fairness Dracula would be proud of those fangs!

This is a vendetta against John Delaney now.

John has done this type of thing for years and years.

He is fond of a few drinks and a sing-song with the fans after matches.

He is a big fan and supporter as well as CEO and likes to have a bit of a laugh.

Perhaps he may go too far for a CEO but it is pathetic that somebody took advantage and forwarded the video to the media.

There is no 'news' here

He needs to go. Domestic football is in the gutter. Even the fact that he earns four times as much as the domestic league winners and when teams like Monaghan are sinking is laughable. Sure what does he do, turn up and open a few astroturf pitches every now and again. We are too tolerant of this type of nonsense in Ireland but it looks like people from all corners are waking up to it.

Delaney getting locked in public is pathetic. Delaneys wages considering the state of football in Ireland is pathetic. Delaney releasing a statement saying it wasn't him is pathetic. Delaney singing a rebel song considering his position is pathetic. Delaney saying a popular irish internet forum should be closed down because he doesn't like what they're saying is pathetic. Delaneys singing voice is pathetic. Delaney trying to deflect the attention to "cyber bullying" of his girlfriend is pathetic. Delaneys apology "sorry if you were offended" is pathetic. Delaneys hair is pathetic. Delaney crying on the radio is pathetic.

MOL is a completely different beast. Like him or not, everything he does is for the betterment of Ryanair.

Much of that is true - but there is no need to make comments about his appearance - I understand it is comments like above that has undermined the efforts of the YBIG website in an effort to get rid of him.

Well that is sort of my point - everything he does works (MOL).

With JD - he has had events involving drink a couple of times , you think he himself or somebody would say - John - keep head down during the big events - particularly the day Ireland are playing.

Yes top CEOs - go to the social events - but are very selective, very controlled and they leave deliberately early. They don't sing in a public place.

What is embarrassing is your post. It shows no knowledge of the history of Irish football and where it came from.
Facilities have improved greatly, and football has made great strides outside the big cities.
Also more people play football every weekend than any other sport.

Gaa and rugby historically were well supported by patrons with money. Football never had anything like the same financial support down the years.

But keep plugging your populist rubbish - FAI bad, JD bad if it makes you feel good.

As for him singing a rebel song - to me it's a non issue.

Sorry for any offence caused, John. Any tickets?

mosstin · 26-11-2014 12:38am

Bit late to this but, for me, two huge issues from this;
1. Why the **** would anyone want to go for a drink with John Delaney?
2. He then started singing. Why the **** would anyone want to listen to John Delaney sing?

Not sure about that - what is talked about online - is an easy story for media outlets. Yes they don't run with them - but they research what they see and get easy current stories.

He was on Top of The Irish Times. The video turned up online.

getzls · 26-11-2014 1:06am

The worrying and shameful bit is there are so many posters defending him.
He's singing songs praising murders, including a killer who lined up protestant works and machine gunned them to death.

And they you have the cheek to turn around and condemn " the sectarian failed stateless" football team?

Your IRA mates will be calling us Bastards next.

But sure, you are only West Brits, who gives a **** what you all think.

Of course there are more songs about the rebels as so many killed themselves during the '80's.

This we should sing songs of thanks for.

Mr_Spaceman · 26-11-2014 1:29am

So let's say for a moment that Delaney's counterpart in Northern Ireland was caught singing a song in a pub praising a loyalist terrorist.

He'd be slung out on his arse in a nano-second. And quite rightly so.

Delaney does it however - and, for some, it's just a bit of craic.

Personally, I think he's simply a babbling idiot and shouldn't lose his job, but the stench of double standards is rather self-evident.

But posters can see no wrong it the praising of the IRA who murdered thousands?

Strange old world eh?

No wonder us Bastards would sooner die than be part of an U.I.

drumswan · 26-11-2014 1:33am

To be fair to the IRA, at least they ****ed off. Which leaves them one up on Delaney

Steady yourself a little there pal...

The IRA were responsible for 723 civilian deaths during the 30 years of the troubles.

Anyway, nobody likes John Delaney. Just because he sang a rebel song doesn't mean he's a rebel and doesn't mean he's promoting it. Next thing the media will be asking him if he was in the IRA!

Sometimes I sing Sir Mixalot's song about big butts, but I think they're only okay...

I'm not a moderator on this forum, why do we have to explain this one all the time.

As for elaborating on battles and wars, it surprises me that I've to explain and elaborate on the difference all the time.

Both the above annoy me.

That's worst part of the whole John Delaney thing. Not him buying pints, but the fact that fans are so idiotic to think he's a "legend" for buying drinks. Jesus wept, a pint in Poland costs about €2, are they actually bought that cheaply?

I heard the clip. Surely you now that John Delaney is the victim in all this. Anyone who apologises by saying "if you were offended, I am sorry" is an ársehole.

And not only that, he wants the forum "YBIG" shut down!

I really wish they would say exactly what they mean in that instance which is "if you were offended, go f**k yourself".

The person who videoed him singing and put it up on youtube is a nasty c**t.

There is a significant difference. In theory the head of the IFA is supposed to represent both communities in the North so singing either a republican or loyalist song would offend half the population.

Practice would seem to be different as republican/nationalist players are electing to play for Ireland instead of the north

That ideology goes out the window when they persist in playing God Save the Queen as their national anthem and alienating one section of the community.

LorMal · 26-11-2014 9:55am

Shocked by the level of stupidity and vitriol on this thread. Surely it's obvious that Delaney is doing a poor job for an over inflated salary?
As for those who want to defend his right to sing rebel songs, would you ever kop on? It's entirely inappropriate for the highly paid CEO of a publically funded organisation.
If you Can't see that, well no argument will persuade the Shinnerbots on here anyway. Still dying for aul Oirlind.

cournioni · 26-11-2014 9:58am

Clown.

This is a guy on a €360,000 per year and is our delegate to FIFA and UEFA where representatives from Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales are present. The last thing someone in his position should be doing is singing contentious songs like this. Especially with the England match coming up next year, we all know what happened the last time they were here and we do not want it happening again.

Other publicly funded organisations such FG have annual commemorations at Beal na Blath. Perhaps this should be knocked on the head too. Where do you draw the line?

dan1895 · 26-11-2014 10:03am

You can see the difference between a FG commemoration and the CEO of a Football association singing in pubs?

Besides it doesn't matter what he was singing, someone in his position shouldn't be in pubs with fans after a game singing anything.

It's ironic though. Sing songs about a man who took up arms, then vilify those that follow suit.

Then again, republican hypocrisy doesn't surprise me any more.
