The FAI are a bunch of crooks

The FAI. What can I say. The Football association of Ireland, what would we do without them? let me rephrase that, What could we do without them? Well one is not embarress ourselves in front of the world by asking to be a 33rd team at the World cup? another is allowing a first division club with attendences of a few hundread to be allowed to play current Spanish La Liga champions Barcelona at a ground that has just a shed of about fifty seats and grassy hills.
Limerick FC are that club and have been asked to play Barcelona in a pre-season friendly in July-August timeframe. Considering this is Ireland where "football Fans" have more interest in England than their local clubs this fixture would be an absolute sell-out and the game would be played in Thomond Park which would allow for more fans. But the FAI objected saying they clashed with fixtures. But thats the FAI for you. They milk the international fixtures and lets be honest they couldn't give a shite about the league.
I wanted to go to Ireland v Brazil in 2008 and found tickets were going to around €70. Now I might be wrong but wasn't there 79,000 at that game in Croke Park? I know ticket prices vary but that is quiet alot of cash just for one game! Now isn't the FAI in charge of football in the Republic of Ireland? That means giving cash to clubs and prizes and funding projects?
Now just look at the state of the League. 2009 two clubs went bust. It sickens me that you get 79,000 odd to watch a game and lets be honest about it a meaningless game (friendly) and then look around the grounds in Ireland where some clubs would be lucky to get 1,000. These so-called "football fans" are a joke.
FAI a bunch of crooks and lets be honest Delaney is a crook!!

The game that was 6-6

6-6 is like a Rugby game in the early stages but that was the final score in a Scottish Premier League match tonight. Motherwell and Hibernian faced off at Fir Park, so I decided to have a watch over the internet. I personally thought this game was going to be lucky to have one goal.

Well to say I was wrong would be like having a snowball in hell!

I was treated to my expected one goal after 11 minutes when Colin Nish scored but then Motherwell leveled at 1-1 five minutes later and I said to myself this could be a good game but next goal is important.

Four minutes after Motherwell leveled Colin was at it again as he put Hibs back in front for 2-1. It took just over eight minutes for the next goal to arrive and former Celtic man Derek Riordan made it 3-1 to Hibs and I thought that was game set and match at that point but good to see Derek score.

We had a fifth goal eight minutes later and it was Colin Nish again this time completing a fantastic hat-trick to make it a safe 4-1. Almost immediately John Sutton put his chance away for Motherwell to make it 4-2 now and suddenly not so good for Hibs? That was that for the first-half with six goals amazing even if it finished this way!!!

The 2nd half began with a slow build up and it wasn't until eleven minutes into the 2nd half that the next goal flew in and it was Anthony Stokes getting his first and making it 5-2 in process. Surely Motherwell were dead now.

They were certainly not getting anything out of this game when Hibs made it 6-2 eight minutes later when Stokes got his 2nd.

Three minutes later Motherwell got another which bought the game to 6-3 thanks to a strike from Giles Cooke.

Next thing is five minutes later Motherwell were 6-4 behind as Tom Hateley scored. By this time I was absolutely glued to the couch and not believing what I was actually seeing.

Four minutes later unbelievably Motherwell were back in the game as John Sutton got his 2nd goal to make it a staggering 6-5. I laughed as that goal went in the next one I went crazy.

There was no goals for the next fifteen minutes but we witnessed a pulsating game that finished with an amazing strike from Lukas Jutkiewicz in stoppage time. It was 6-6!!!!! I just went made when that goal went in and overall I would say that both sides deserved a draw but Hibs would be kicking themselves after being 6-2 up and letting in four to get a point. But credit the players who really turned on the style for us.

I did say the Scottish league was boring in relation to title races but who needs a title race when this game throws up a 6-6 draw!!!! Amazing
