Newstalk right now
Dundalk fan has rushed the FAI HQ,
DOUSED THE RECEPTION IN PETROL AND DEMANDED A HEARING WITH SENIOR MANAGEMENT!!!!

The Walsho · 13-12-2006 2:58pm

Ha this should be interesting.

Ruu_Old · 13-12-2006 2:59pm

Why couldn't he just have knocked on the door?:(

Just come back to my desk. Merrion Sq. South is sealed off. Loads of Gardaí and two units of Dublin Fire Brigade are outside.

Cameras from TV3 and RTE are there, so you'll get extended highlights later, no doubt.

About time the First Division got some TV coverage.

Did they actually say on the news that he was a Dundalk fan? Why would they be cheesed off at the FAI? (Other than the usual reasons that everyone is cheesed off at the FAI for).

because they were refused access to the premier division, despite winning in the play off final !

(it was judged on other criteria also though)

Because Dundalk weren't named as a member of the new Eircom Premier League, despite winning the playoff against Waterford (who weren't allowed in either).

Ah God loves a tryer, pity god doesn't work for the FAI.

Situation resolved.

Not before he doused himself in petrol too though! He just dropped his lighter and stuck his hands up.

petes · 13-12-2006 3:41pm

Lunatic.

letterman · 13-12-2006 3:59pm

So, did Steve Staunton get a pay rise then???:rolleyes:

Rb · 13-12-2006 4:40pm

Weird, I was walking around Merrion Square at that time today, must have just missed it by a few minutes.

What a psycho though.

garda statement "Just one bright spark and he would have been toast, thank god this happened in FAI headquarters"

The_Minister · 13-12-2006 4:55pm

Why couldn't he just be normal and run his car into the building?

EDIT: LOL at Bambi.

bullpost · 13-12-2006 4:59pm

Any truth in the rumour that there's a Waterford fan holed up in the bar at FAI headquarters protesting against Waterford being excluded from the new league. He's threatening to drink himself to death unless Waterford are admitted to the league :-)

bartholmew · 13-12-2006 5:00pm

Why were Dundalk not allowed in ,after winning the playoff

Black Swan · 13-12-2006 5:26pm

Immature fool.

Everyone knew that the Leagues were being restructured at the start of the season and that what happened on the ptich might not make a difference to promotion or relegation. oth clubs argeed to this.

Clubs would be allowed in the EL based of have you have done on and off the field. You get points for doing well on the field performance wise which goes back the last 5 years i thik. Then points for off the field stuff like finances, stadium, attendence, area etc etc. It's a 50/50 split with the points.

Dundalk didnt get in, and it seems one fan has gotten a bit hot under the collar over it..

Wertz · 13-12-2006 6:39pm

Haha I recognise this guy....he's a well known "character" in Dundalk, works in some taxi place.

Silly c*nt, although he's by no means the only disgruntled Dundalk fan...not that this is in anyway rational for anything to do with football. Or anything at all

Oh and lol @bambi

13-12-2006 7:23pm

I bet Bambi has been waiting to say that joke properly their whole life!

Taken from here

Christmas has a special glow,
There’s magic everywhere.
Robins warble in the snow
And carols fill the air.
But one young boy was sadder than
A bowl of misery,
The day an irate Dundalk fan
Destroyed his Christmas tree.

A little elf had brought it to
The house in Merrion Square.
It rang the bell and right on cue
Young John was standing there.
Suspicious, aye and wary,
He had thanked the little elf.
Alas! He had no fairy,
So he sat on top himself.

Santa Claus came calling
To Nick Leeson and his band.
John Gill thought it appalling
That he’d favoured Terryland.
The mood had been unseasonal
Above in county Louth,
And words uncouth and treasonal
The Dundalk folk did mouthe.

But far from angry peasants,
John was well in Christmas mode.
He dreamt of lovely presents
And a brand new Lansdowne Road.
But Christmas lights no longer shone
When, on an angry spree,
A Dundalk fan poured petrol on
His lovely Christmas tree.

The wicked act caused John to blanch.
It really spoiled his day.
Somebody called the Special Branch
To haul the chap away.
The tree, undressed, no longer shone
Within those stately walls.
Poor John was left to gaze upon
His petrol-smothered balls.

So spare a thought this Christmastime
For one poor little boy,
The victim of a heinous crime,
A brutal, savage ploy.
He’ll hang his balls where’er he can
But still sobs bitterly,
Because an irate Dundalk fan
Destroyed his Christmas tree.

Surely this type of polyester-clad lumpen monomaniac with a persecution complex isn't what springs to mind when we think of League of Ireland football?

Is he a taxi driver? that's crazy I think I actually know that guy.

YeatsCounty · 14-12-2006 7:27pm

I'm just surprised that it took someone involved in Irish football this long to....err....."react" to the FAI's running of our game..... Pity it was against a decision from a process that Dundalk FC had agreed to months ago. :-/
