The Scottish FA CEO was excellent on it, unbelievable that he put him sitting in the corner for the meal when he came to Dublin.

EDIT: Missed it tonight. I assume it'll be on RTE player would it?  

What if your aunty had balls? 

Would you have given up given up qualification for getting rid of Delaney if it was a straight choice? 

Whoever those fans were they deserve a pat on the back, they brought the issue to a wider audience and that’s the most important thing.

Should have hunted him down in London seeing that he wasn't prepared to be part of documentary. That would have been nice to watch.

Nothing really added not in the public domain. some of the archives rte could add to it make it a good piece of work but for people who have followed the story and read the book, nothing really added. Tighe and Rowan really did a masterclass with the book in terms of content.  

That said, watching it really made me miss supporting ireland with fellow supporters and i really cannot wait to get back to that. Hopefully some of the stay away fans Ger referenced will br inclined to come back now JD is gone. Covid being a killer with that but if all else fails

Unbelievable

How f**king petty and pathetic.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

The editing actually does Duff a favour because it makes it seem like he was having a go at Delaney when he was actually having a go at the fans.

Without being ageist, how can an now 80-year old have been allowed to sit on the board for as long as he did. Eddie Murray looked absolutely decrepit during the Oireachtas bit, I forgot how laughable it was.

No matter how many times I'll read or watch something about it, I don't think I'll ever not be amazed by it all.

Harps are safe! Ollie Horgan's men pull off an unlikely escape and will play in the top flight next season. Waterford's hopes of European football are over.

Me too, couldn't believe seeing it pop again over in Gibraltar, I think it was, years after being taken from us

I'd say he fully enjoyed having his digs at Delaney during his interview, and rightly so.

John O'Reagan is an absolute gombeen.

I didnt find it laughable at all. I know little about the man but felt very sorry for him - absolutely dreadful. Reprehensible from Delaney.

No new detail last night, I mainly found it interesting to put faces to names from the book, as other said, the Scottish guy was very impressive, and I couldn't believe how decrepit the treasurer was at Oireachtas.

I think Duffer got his words muddled in this one. He spends 15 seconds saying that the tennis ball protest is outrageous (which makes you think he's complaining about the fans), but then at the end of the quote he says we nearly lost a goal because of the CEO (which makes me think maybe he was referring to the CEO being outrageous). I'm trying to be kind to the lad, if he's complaining about the fans he's bang out of order.

I do feel for the underage local football people. They've all been portrayed very poorly by this whole saga, due to a few bad eggs who control the power. In reality they've been very harshly treated, it portrays them as having their hands out for crumbs from their leader, and doens't mention the pressure they were put under to sell premium tickets.

I can see that point, and he was certainly hung out to dry. But you can't feel sorry for someone because of their age when they are so grossly incompetent in the role they are in.

He was a senior member of the Garda too?

Yeah and that's fair. A treasurer thinking they possessed 1 bank account Wacko. 

Like i said, i know little of the man or his role in the organisation but he was clearly a pawn in JDs charade. He asked no questions and let JD keep up the pretence that all was grand lads.

I assume himself and Cody were picking up a decent salary? Don't remember seeing anything in the book about it though.

They were honorary roles so not paid a salary, but there were references in the book that JD was not the only one flaunting the company credit card. 

You could imagine maybe other board members and department heads could also be implicated 

Probably can't speculate more than that as there is an investigation.
