My letter to the FAI

Brethitmanhart

Last month I sent a piss-take letter to the FAI.
Registered and all and it was signed for.
Here is a pic of it (I did sign it, but this is just a screen shot taken from Word and not a scanned image).

Still awaiting my reply!

How strange of you

Yea, was just laughing at the idea of the FAI reading this so me and my mates drafted it up while on a break in college....good for a laugh at lunch time anyway.

I guess you had to be there

No doubt you will be the first to complain about the size of the cost for admin in the FAI annual accounts....

Look, you obviously don't fit into Trap's system, which has worked well so far. And, to be honest, I think your recent performances have been average at best.

What did you expect posting that here? To be carried round the room as the wittiest man ever?

Its not original, its not funny and its a waste of time for the FAI. That letter has to be read, logged and possibly scanned. 15 mins work for someone which probably costs the FAI €10. €10 that could have been spent on a kids coach or put towords a clubhouse. €10 isn't much in the scheme of things, but if 1,000 people waste the FAI's time like that in any given year.....

It'll be alot funnier if he gets a reply!

Lol :pac: Fair fecks to ya

Ahh, I thought you actually had a reply to it.

Post reported for lifting up my hopes and then cruelly dashing them.

Yeah its funny...thinking of that FAI administrative person reading it and her thinking about how unfunny it was.

Surely you could have included a few witty lines in there that might have made it funny. Or does the humour lie in the fact that you think the FAI will care?

Get off your high horse, it wasn't that funny to anyone but him and his mates is the main point.

maybe you should make your back garden available to them for international games.
Apparently they would not gone ahead with Aviva stadium if they had known Croke Park were going to make games available for outside games on a long term basis.

There was front page story in Sindo yesterday with GAA reacting to claims made by Delaney saying they only went ahead with Aviva stadium because they were told that Croke Park would not be made available to them for future games.

A piece from a Gah correspondent citing Gah hacks the week after they make prize prats of themselves offering Croker to the wrong people having a go at unsourced comments that Delaney is alledged to have made.

Spare me.

I know you don't like the GAA much, but there is a lot of truth there, Lansdowne was always going to be redeveloped at a time when money was plentiful, Delaney claiming that the Aviva stadium wouldn't have gone ahead because the GAA wouldn't give them Croker is just "incredible", and the first time I have heard it mentioned.
Of course ideally it would have been the proper thing to do for all parties involved to share the stadium with a nominal fee paid to the GAA for use of matches, and the money saved from not redeveloping and selling on Lansdowne either used to fund soccer and rugby or a portion given to the GAA to buy a share of the stadium, but we are a complicated little country so common sense was never on the table.

Its the opposite though. This unsourced quote is that Delaney is saying that the Gahliban changed their policy very late in the day, opening Croker to football and rugby on an open ended basis, far too late in the LR project for it to be relevent to the project plan.

I can't see the FAI having pulled out of the project as a result, but I think, if he did say what is being attributed to him by the Gah media, he is asking why the Gah changed the rules on Croker when they changed them knowing full well the FAI and IRFU can't and won't move games there.

Nothing like a few ifs, buts and maybes to hoist someone up to the moral high ground.

Lighten up.

It's been 6 1/2 weeks since you wrote thattt letter. If that was the funniest thing I had managed since starting to type this message I would be worried (luckily I slipped on a banana skin in between the words "wrote" and "letter").

Delaney is once again making a tool of himself, the man just can't help himself. He made these comments to journalists at the announcement of the Brazil match being played in the Emirates. Completely ignoring the fact that the vote on the opening on Croker in the first place was only taken after the FAI and IRFU confirmed the redevelopment of Lansdowne would be going ahead. How the GAA can take any of the flak for Delaney's incompetence on this matter is beyond me.

I thought the letter was funny. Nice one op.

It's a spoof letter. I'm gonna take a 'wild' guess here and say the OP has never played for either Rockmount or Rayo Vallecano and that he was just pretending to.

This 'debate' is in the context of the GAA trying to put public pressure on the FAI (why I don't know) to move the game from London to Croker because they are finacially in bits.

Delaney simply stated that if the GAA had made their policy of opeing Croker to civilised games forever public before the LR project began, the FAI might have considered a longer term arrangement with Croker and not bought half of LR. But they might not. In other words, he is asking what exactly is the point of the GAA changing the rules on Croker so late in the day and pitching for Brazil home games?

Please explain the incompetence of that position?

It was in fairness a bit of fun, but imho not very funny, the OP obviously tought it was and by posting here was looking for an endorsement from his peers, that didnt happen!

Dont see the need for you to accuse ppl of behaving like ****wits!


As for The Venties/Seventies thing I still dont get what was so special about the seventies it was a pretty bad decade with strikes/recession/no colour TV till the Pope came in 79 and major trouble in the north!

Mitch Connor

The Pope brought colour TV to Ireland?
