John Delaney rebel song

wendell borton

Looks like the Irish times is trying to stir the pot in relation to a non-story in which john Delaney sang a rebel ballad.
It seems the fai haven't issued a statement on the matter, ffs.
Have the guardians of moral decency decreed that rebel songs are now abhorrent and the historical revisionism must be inforced in case someone's takes offence.

Talks big when he's far away from it, but too scared to even go to Monaghan when there's troubles.

Bit like the Wolfe Tones actually.

Bit like the free state government too.

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.

I think even for a county like my own has shown how much soccer has grown in the past 20 years just last week funding has come through for a full size FIFA standard astroturf pitch in Tralee,this adds to the fine set ups in Killarney and also Listowel so in a GAA mad county soccer is growing,I hope in a few years we will have a LOI side.

Can't remember the Irish government ever stoking the people into a Red Bull fuelled frenzy, leading them to cause untold damage to their neighbours' property or person as if they were somehow 'fighting for Ireland'

Why would the Irish government ever have anything to do with fighting for Ireland, they like to do nothing instead, the Irish government showed its true colors when foreign soldiers killed Irish citizens and the British government colluded with loyalist terrorists and they done.... nothing! Cowards... thieves and cowards.

yipeeeee

Irish man sings Irish song in Irish bar after Ireland match in Ireland!!

Funded by the government National Lotto grant. Make no mistake about it very little money filters down from the agency responsible for actually developing the game in this country. Coaching/Referee courses have been cut back with a complete lack of qualified coaches here, grassroots staff hiring have been curtailed, affiliation costs have gone through the roof and more clubs have gone to the wall than in living memory. The state of the National league and the associations attitude to it is is just tip of the iceberg to the complete lack of investment by the FAI in developing the game here.

Football has grown here through more participation but the development of the game from the FAI has gotten progressively worse under Delaney.

Add to that the complete closing shop to the FAI's accounts for scrutiny and the removal of any dissent from within the association and the picture becomes clear. The fact that Natioanal squads supporters are turning against him is a massive OG for him.

Jesus still bitter about the civil war?

Were you the bloke who got angry at FG supporters wrapping themselves in the tricolour?

This is NOT a non story.

This is a STORY.

Fair play to him for singing this song. Good to see there's still people with sense down here instead of being brain washed by the west Brit media! Tiocfaidh ar la

It gets better, Seems John was out denying it was him in the video at all. Wonder when the penny dropped!

I want him out just as much as the next person, but this won't be the thing that brings him down.

John Aldridge said they all sang rebel songs on the team bus back in big Jack's days. His own personal favourite was Sean South.

How is this frowned upon ffs?

My only beef would be Joe McDonnell is too long winded and slow for a pub sing song so it was a bad choice.

Irish man sings Irish song.wow!

Hopefully it's the start of his demise though. The man is a complete disgrace and doesn't have the best interest of Irish football at heart. Where was he when Monaghan went bust, on the piss in Gdansk.

I was banned off a website for posting a rebel song. Apparently a lady was traumatised. She was from Belfast. Dreadful stuff. God bless her. Same song is on every jukebox in rural Ireland.

I'd post it here though I'd probably be banned lol...

Ah - feck it - here it is.

If I'm banned - good luck lol

Just watched the YouTube video and I'm TOTALLY OUTRAGED!!!

I get the feeling ''people'' are ok with rebel songs pre-troubles..

Anything after that is to close to the bone. The wolf tones etc are acceptable with Sean south and Dying rebel etc, but throw in Read the roll of honour or Black watch and the west brits come out in force..

A complete disgrace to Irish football. The man is paid more than many of the chiefs of the best leagues in the world. How does his role merit that kind of money? Lets be honest the FAI is a mickey mouse organisation that is miles behind the GAA and IRFU. I was reading that the IRFU chief comands €125k a year while Delaney rakes in €400k for doing sweet F all. LOI winners only get €100k a year.

Delaneys relationship with Denis O'Brien is also quite an unhealthy one as evidenced by the indo stories and videos about claiming that he is John the Baptist and general promotional videos. Im sorry but for me its just another example of someone paying themselves far more than they should command while Its the kids and LOI clubs that suffer. That type of crap is all to familiar on this island.

Also singing a song is a non-story and interesting to see he was straight on the counter attack in the indos with stories about his missus being cyber bullied.

This is a non-story.

Right ban rebel songs, then sure why not ban songs with curse words in case we offend others!!! *shock, horror*

He may be a bit of a b*llox, but im not going to crucify him over singing rebel songs.

Zebra3

An apology and then a dig at people calling them sly.

For recording him singing in a public house. Boo hoo.

Complete BS stuff to turn people against YBIG because they are the ones putting alot of the pressure on JD. I was on the thread at the time and there was 2 posts made that were out of order and within an hour or 2 they were deleted and the two lads banned AND an apology was posted by the site owner, yet according to Emma in that space of time she became sick to her stomach, her kids were traumatised, she wont accept the apology and she has no choice but to pursue legal action.

Haven't been so pissed off by a news article in a long while, really shows that 90% of **** in the papers is complete bull****.

Do you also find "Le Marseillaise" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the singing of them equally abhorrent, since both are rebel songs ?

It's a good sing song though, I wonder did he give his rendition of "Stick your decommission up your ass"

Yeah , it really is. I copped it when Vincent Brown was reading out the headlines the other night. Two Delaney stories at odds with each other on different papers one of them being Denis O'Briens rag. Guess which one was in favour of Delaney? Also papers have been shown up for what they are over the past few weeks during the water protests. Full of sh1t!

Ah yeah, just what the Delaneys need- yet more money.

The existence of these people is an excellent argument for communism. I'm anything but left wing, but I turn into Lenin when I see their smug, self-entitled faces.
