    Found this on overheardindublin:

    A number of years ago the FAI were holding one of their "night of the long knives" meetings in a hotel in central Dublin. There were numerous people being accused of all sorts and tempers were wearing thin. At the end of the meeting and after a few people had walked the plank one of the board members (who was still in place) who was very aggitated at the nights events was heard saying...........

    "There have been some very serious allegations made here tonight and I know the alligators"

    CLASSIC

    Maybe he worked in the Everglades during the summer.............

    I've heard on very good authority that this one is true
    1980 - After Johnny Giles quit, Eoin Hand beat Paddy Mulligan to the Ireland manager's job by one swing vote. Afterwards, one FAI board member said that he had voted for Hand because he thought Mulligan was the person who had thrown a bun at him on an away trip.
