This is even more pathetic and spiteful than the Limerick - Barcelona farce. :mad::mad::mad:

What a joke.

dan1895 · 17-10-2013 09:18AM

Using the excuse that he is amateur when he played most of his career as a full time pro is typically FAI. What's also typical is their refusal to answer any questions by the press.

Bohs XI v Shels XI will now take place at the end of the season instead. Hopefully a good turnout.

GLaDOS · 17-10-2013 09:27AM

Bohs v Shels is probably a more fitting game and will be attended by people who actually appreciated him as a player.

That said, he wouldn't have turned down the money generated from a Man United friendly

Gavin "shels" · 17-10-2013 11:42AM

Shall be interesting to see what players line out for both sides. Match is to be played in Dalyer.

John Delaney "the FAI boss" dont even know about football. Never kicked a ball once in his life. Pity about the testimonial being refused. I would have love to go and give him support.

VinylJunkie · 17-10-2013 11:53AM

It's an absolute farce, Delaney OUT!

iDave · 17-10-2013 11:54AM

I sometimes think the FAI want to fail

VinylJunkie · 17-10-2013 12:17PM

I'm just sending a mail here to them, I suggest everyone do the same.

Green Giant · 17-10-2013 12:23PM

Absolutely ridiculous way to treat a true great of LOI, petty in the extreme from the FAI

tallaghtmick · 17-10-2013 12:25PM

I'm not a LOI fan but even I know who he is! Jesus those ****ers couldnt run a race let alone a Association.

chainsawman · 17-10-2013 02:05PM

Good Idea... Will do that !!! Email address from FAI website !!! Going into that now. Come on lads, give him a support,

Done it already. Will be expecting a reply and report back.

DM_7 · 17-10-2013 02:09PM

You can still go.....

v3ttel · 17-10-2013 02:11PM

Another farce after the Limerick vs Barcelona affair.

I wish the clubs would just give them the fingers and go ahead with the game regardless.

VinylJunkie · 17-10-2013 10:46PM

I got a reply to my mail to the FAI, I can PM it to anyone here if they like.

dan1895 · 17-10-2013 10:49PM

Yes please.

GLaDOS · 17-10-2013 10:49PM

I wouldn't mind seeing it, could you include the mail you sent too? Cheers

Augmerson · 17-10-2013 11:19PM

He played a good part of his career as a professional, only near the start and towards the end did he play as an amateur, so really what is the problem?

ShamoBuc · 17-10-2013 11:29PM

They are only an 'L' away!

They never cease to amaze me just how utterly ridiculous they are.

RickyBobby1 · 17-10-2013 11:33PM

Would you minding sending me a pm as well cheers

Henlars67 · 18-10-2013 12:19AM

Can you not just post the jist of it here? I'll take a PM if not please

pablomakaveli · 18-10-2013 12:22AM

They really are a spiteful shower of feckers. Im sure if there was something in it for them it'd be no problem.

BOHtox · 18-10-2013 12:23AM

Corholio · 18-10-2013 12:32AM

Would love to see that reply too, thanks.

Madworld · 18-10-2013 05:33AM

Why not post it? You're getting a generic email they've sent to everybody who've complained about this farce.

The worst thing about it is it doesn't even fall into the category of not sanctioning games with an attendance of over 15,000. Realistically this game will max 5,000. It's just pure and utter spite from the FAIlure.

chainsawman · 18-10-2013 07:06AM

I like one please. Thanks.

tallaghtmick · 18-10-2013 08:57AM

Me too pm me please.

markc1184 · 18-10-2013 09:19AM

Id also like to see that reply.

weldoninhio · 18-10-2013 10:35AM

I'd love to see their reply too please.

simonw · 18-10-2013 10:39AM

me too please

18-10-2013 10:47AM

Far easier to just post it here. Why not?
