AberdeenBud Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Surely they'd have been laughed out of court anyway? FIFA just love throwing money away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 That's nothing: Sepp Blatter told to 'move on' by Irish FA chief after Fifa president 'stared for seven or eight seconds' at his girlfriend FFS, if the chick in the pic is really the woman in question, 7 or 8 seconds is nowhere near enough. I'll be thinking of her later on tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Surely this 5 mil appeared in their accounts. Or was it just resting somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Fifa explain everything - they loaned the money to the FAI to build a stadium, then wrote it off when they didn't qualify for 2014. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Will be interesting to see who else is guilty of taking bungs. I don't think the English FA are squeaky clean either. Would love to listen to Talksport when that news breaks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Surely this 5 mil appeared in their accounts. Or was it just resting somewhere? It's the RoI we are talking about here. Suspect they could easily have been taking a Charlie Haughey approach to accountancy. Wonder if the FAI chief decided it was best to be the one to reveal this to the media before a new regime at FIFA start revealing all about what happened under Blatter.

lips 106 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Southern Ireland dipping the bins for Jack Grealish these days. Hope we hump em like deputy dawg would hump em next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Seems utterly bizarre to me. The FAI didn't have a legal leg to stand on. The referee team made a mistake, no court would have found in Irelands favour because it would have been the end of sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Fair play. They'd have had no chance of getting the match replayed in courts anyway, and have walked off with a cool 5 million. They must have been laughing their heads off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
