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!!
