The only thing that will shift him is sponsors. Or possibly getting a handy one in uefa which would allow him walk away.

That is what they want you to think. Get people to simply give up and accept it.

But boycotts, all LOI games being cancelled/strike. So 'hold' the game, but the players simply walk off when the whistle blows.

All other games to be boycotted. Get the TV cameras to record all the empty playing pitches in a park.

Boycott the national games. Don't buy into the nonsense from Duffer saying its terrible to treat the team like happened with the tennis balls. HE was placing the blame on the supporters rather than asking why the supporters had been forced to take such action. Does he honestly believe that fans want to do that?

No sponsor wants to be associated with that sort of carry on.

Hiding it from his ex.

You cannot simply take 100k from your accounts and hide it in family law proceedings. For starters, anyone can ask for 2 or 3 years of all statements, tax returns, payslips etc. It's part of case progression, and if that doesn't turn it up one can apply for discovery. It's not like some Dail committee, it's pretty forensic. The only time money can really stay under the radar is when it's someone taking cash or someone with overseas money that his spouse never knew about.

Bertie did it!

The FAI is being shown up for what it is - an old boys club acting with impunity for years until one slip uncovered the whole charade. Now they are all tight lipped looking to brazen out the storm.

Ah sorry I didn't and wasn't supporting Delaney. You are right more action and keep this in the news highlighting things like this. I applaud the journos and others that are trying to see change

People with some or even minimal gravitas should be speaking out, former players etc. I don't buy the cheap excuse that they can't or shouldn't because they might have some dealings with the FAI. They make plenty of money talking and discussing Irish football on TV and in the media, why not actually have conviction and not stay silent.

This is when 'opinions' count not whether you think someone was offside in as generic description as possible.

The problem with these things, and I don't know if it's an 'Irish' thing or not, but any sort of controversy or complaints that people have, there's always those that go against the grain because they hate seeing other people actually being bothered by something. They either do it to be edgy or just to keep any status quo.

True...but 30 years ago. There was no case progression process then, discovery was a very expensive application, and family law cases amounted to ambushes with no information revealed. In all areas of law, crime, personal injury, family, it's all moved towards full disclosure.

Has anyone got a template letter that they are sending to sponsors? I don't have the time to draft one but will certainly like to send some.

Fines fines and more fines. Loi clubs can't afford that and the players aren't being paid enough to miss a game's wages or pay fines either.

Sebastian Dangerfield · 10-04-2019 02:26PM

I have had 2 season tickets for 12 years. I won't be giving this crowd any more money in the current setup, and will be writing to them to that effect. The endless frustrations with away tickets were bad enough, today is an absolute joke.

Time for the LOI clubs to take back control of the league or step up and make a statement to that effect at least.

Guffy · 10-04-2019 02:37PM

Tbh even if Delaney does go, I don't see things improving for the LoI while the clubs are insisting on a short season and short contracts. They need to threat the league a developmental one and if they don't have contracts past 10 months with players they just can't sell them bar 1 or 2 exceptions.

I'm not certain but I expect one of the reasons put forward by clubs for this is the lack of revenue they receive from the FAI and the large registration fees they need to pay to take part in the league
