If the book was PDFed and circulated by the pro-Delaney camp you’d have to question their logic; hit back at the Delaney-haters by... circulating the book for free so that more people read it?

A big whhhhhaaaaaaattttt????? to this post.

How on earth did you come to that conclusion?
There was blanket coverage on the issue and everyone went as far as they could from a legal point of view from what I could see.
Worth remembering that Ireland's libel laws are  a lot stricter than most



Not so sure that fear of litigation is truly the reason tbh. I think the majority of media in this country is agenda driven and lacks true journalistic integrity. Independent news and media group in particular. Most journalists tow the line for fear of professional repercussions which is understandable to a degree. Just look at the way Gemma O'Doherty was treated.

I didn’t get the pdf but remember getting one before, the Keane book. It wasn’t the same and actually annoying reading off the PDF. Worth the 12 euro to sit back with your feet up reading a hand held book. Give the authors the money for the efforts at the same time.
Also a good excuse to put the phone away a bit earlier.

That's a weird trade-off; Yeah it will put a dent in the money the authors make.  But it will also mean even more people reading the book and seeing beyond all doubt what a massive bellend John Delaney is?

They always cheat, they always lie,

f**k Delaney and the FAI,

He denied everything that was ever said,

As he started his career delivering bread,

Whether it rained or whether it’s sunny,

An absolute genius at hiding the money,

He’d buy us all pints in Poland or France,

Most didn’t know about his merry dance,

As the night fell and you could hear crickets,

This absolute scumbag was haemorrhaging tickets,

Robbing us blind whilst acting the hero,

Parading around whilst the accounts went to zero,

Blaming others on his stupid mistakes,

Calling the likes of Sepp Blatter all fakes,

Us lads in YBIG start asking him why?

As he walked out in his suit with his little green tie,

A scumbag, a Vermon, a poisonous ****,

Draining the finances month by month,

It’s finally over but no time to recover,

Irish football will continue to suffer,

Let’s just hope it’s brighter ahead,

I’m not gonna lie, he’s better off dead,

So here’s to good times under our new man Kenny,

And to slowly regather all the lost pennies,

As the book says it was football Champagne,

If it was fiction it would still be insane,

On to Slovakia without this **** involved,

Let’s just all hope the problem is solved,

They always cheat and they always lie,

f**k Delaney and the FAI.

The topic originator... Very happy to bury the hatchet and I don’t hold grudges. 

But I will say; there were some amount of lovely people out there that couldn’t see beyond their nose when it came to JD. Hence he made an absolute fortune corruptly.

Come on baldy, how many years ago was that posted? Gemma although a bitter crazy racist Cunnt, was once a respected Journalist. I wasn’t wrong.  The whistleblower is the real hero, and the the editor for backing mark tighe. A lot would buried it. It’s a sad indictment on the media tbh, all this stuff going on for all those years.....

Don't think she was ever respected.  She was a lifestyle journalist of some sorts and rheh became a conspiracy theorist who  happened to cover a couple of stories that were genuine and then ended up in the black hole of tin foil that world. 

Agree that Whistleblowers and editor and the two journalists have done great service here.
