Ireland supporters organise plane protest against FAI’s John Delaney
A group of Republic of Ireland supporters have organised a plane protest against Football Association of Ireland chief executive John Delaney before Saturday’s crucial Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium. Hundreds of fans are already planning to meet up three hours before kick off to vent their frustrations at Delaney, who admitted earlier this month that the FAI accepted a €5m (£3.67m) payment from Fifa after Thierry Henry’s handball in the 2010 World Cup play-offs ended their hopes of qualifying for the tournament in South Africa. There is also anger among supporters at perceived unfair treatment at last week’s friendly against England, when it is claimed they were subjected to “heavy security” and had anti-Delaney banners confiscated by stewards. “Irish football fans from around the world have come together to unite behind the removal of John Delaney as FAI chief executive officer by hiring a plane to circle Dublin and in particular Lansdowne Road on Saturday ahead of the vital Euro 2016 qualifier with Scotland,” read a statement from the group seen by the Guardian. “We took the decision to book the plane to fly between 3.50pm and 4.50pm on Saturday to ensure that there would be no distraction from the crucial football match taking place at 5pm.” The statement then details a long list of complaints against Delaney, including his “willingness to provide interviews to lifestyle and celebrity media yet unwillingness to provide interviews to sports journalists” and “John Delaney receiving a basic salary (before add-ons) of €360,000 whilst the League of Ireland winners receive €100,000”. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jun/12/ireland-plan-protest-john-delaney-fai |

Think we may finally see an Irish side that most have been calling for on the pitch.
That's a start at least. Defense looking good albeit I don't trust Given in goal. Midfield with Hoolahan linking the team is a positive. Prediction 2-0 Long, Walters |
|
By:
Ireland starting XI: Given, Coleman, Brady, Wilson, O'Shea, McCarthy, Whelan, Hendrick, Hoolahan, Walters, Murphy.

Murphy

Wes starts
, Goals in this I think. |
|
By:
Murphy is a strange one; with no wingers we can expect long balls down the middle
|
|
By:
Well not a classic but a crucial goal by walters
|
|
By:
Allways going to be a derby type game, Hope we dont stand back and defend to much, its ours to lose
|
|
By:
Awful goal to give away, test now, surely subs be crucial long,mcclean , mckeady ?
|
|
By:
Get long on ffs
|
|
By:
if O'Neill thinks Murphy is a better striker than Long he is way out of touch
|
|
By:
Unreal, how the f did scotland get a goal... ? More ££ down the drain for me
![]() |
|
By:
Ireland very ordinary under O'Neill. This team aint qualifying
|
|
By:
In fairness,It's not often i agree with Brady,But this was a stinker of a group when compared to others.
|
|
By:
it sure was C.R. ICELAND, WALES, N/IRELAND, ARE JUST some of the team who look like qualifing.
|
|
By:
Wales are a much better team than Ireland. Coudn't beat Scotland in 2 games tells u the standard of this current Irish team
|
|
By:
Ireland were 10/11 to qualify from this group after the draw was made and before a ball was kicked; we're now 5/1 with the same bookmaker.
|
|
By:
shud be 50/1?
|
|
By:
How embarrasing that they played happy music when scotland scored , f bizarre ?
|
|
By:
Zilch chance of qualifying. Very disappointing campaign so far. Murphy was knackered after 60 mins yet we left him on the pitch
. Keane on before Long, sympathy vote![]() Coleman seems to be regressing. As for Whelans "dissent" when he was hauled off, he has some neck. He's utterly talent-less. Wouldn't stand out in LOI. |

By:
Whelan is a truly dreadful player,Always has been.
