The disgraced John Delaney

So empty words as far as I’m concerned. Nothing will change until the fai feel the hit from supporters financially

No it’s not because plenty of other SUPPORTERS will attend in your place rendering your absence fckin futile and irrelevant, you want to make yourself out to be some sort of crusader that’s fine ( do you do away games ?) but as pipkin alluded to its better to be seen to be doing something that is noticed in the stadium than some handful of hard done by LOI fans patting themselves on the back for not supporting their national team because they believe their few quid is absolutely vital to the association

And that is your choice fingers, if you feel better off not supporting the team and actually doing nothing but say you are not giving them money fine, again do you do away games ? The king is dead and this chapter is soon to be closed and hopefully all the culprits will be fcked out which I think they will, one thing is for sure we all want the same outcome I am not busting your balls I just don’t think it is achieving what you would like to think it is 

I think the best attack now is to continue to protest and be seen at the matches. Let them know that the fans are still not happy.

I emailed McGlue after the America game in 2015 and told him to get f**ked over how fans were being treated. That was it for me, now with all the stories coming out I’m glad I haven’t given them a penny.  I haven’t done an away since late 2017 for money/family reasons sadly  Edit; and I’ve been blocked by the FAI on all social media since

Lads take your childish argument somewhere else. Any protest inside the ground should be one that doesn’t draw the fai a fine.

Donal Conway has said he doesn’t object to protests so get people recording the searches at the entrance to the singing section and  any confiscations that happen. The mandate committee should contact the fai to notify them of the protest and tell them that any clampdown will be highlighted on social media. We hold the high ground don’t let one fool blow that . Just remember what one clown on here gave jd an excuse over cyber bullying to dodge a bullet nearly 5 years ago.

2 questions, 1) who’s the fool that will blow it and 2) who’s the clown involved in cyber bully gate ?

Lads, let's remember where the real issues are here. Fans arguing with each other over how they individually protest is pointless and a waste of time. The vast majority of us want the same thing but may go different ways about it. It's not a contest.
