Easy this one, the truth hurts and the top echelons of FF are corrupt and not one of them are prepared to sue anyone for slander, they know a loser when confronted and do not wish to keep the audience laughing in the aisles.

What's corrupt about stealing hotel towels? I'm sure Eorna has done it himself.

Suggest away, there is plenty of evidence of it, Lawlor, Burke, ahern, Haughey, Flynn (X2), Reynolds etc etc etc.

Name one of them convicted of it.

The only one who you could justifiably say it about is Burke as the tribunal have already made this assertion. As the fellow might say I dare you to say it outside the house and see whether or not it would stand up.

Incorrect, Burke was, and Lawlor was put in the slammer. All the others have admitted to stealing money from FF.

As for lawlor he was tucked away for non-compliance with the tribunal. He was likely corrupt but never proven

Todays FAI are a well run, slick organisation. Peoples negatives towords Bertie should not be reflected on the FAI in such flippant terms.
The FAI is run by a boring monotone numpty who got the top job despite his old man being booted out of the same job a few years earlier for dodgy financial dealings (no wonder they embrace Ahern).

Liam Mulvihill who was Director General of the GAA for 30 years until just a few months ago was an infinitely more competent, intelligent, articulate and ethical official than anything the FAI has ever dredged up.

Joe and John Delaney?
Bernard O Byrne,
Fran ********************in Rooney!!!!

As for the ban. is that the best you can do?
Of the four main Irish sports remind me which one is the only that is organised on a 26 county basis?

The GAA stayed strong in the face of outrageous odds up North.
What level of support did the brave boys of the FAI offer when Derry and Belfast Celtic before them were bullied into oblivion?

Bunch of Skobes fratrernising with the High King of Skobes, quelle surprise.
