FAI Finances thread

Shedite-you either misread what i posted or you're trying to misrepresent what i've posted - in either case you're doing yourself a disservice. Please re-read what i've said. 

You ask me where i was in 2012 -tbh -i've no recollection lol but that's an age thing. 

Seriously though, during the period 2011 to 2014, i was trying to understand the financials of the FAI annual "Reports" at that point. it became apparent by 2014 that they raised more questions than they answered - questions which were being ignored or worse. 

(Techy bit - As i said at the time any organisation which had "intangible" (aka not physically real aka makey-uppey) assets of 88m out of a total assets base of 93m with physical liabilites of  around 80m needed to have a long look at itself in terms of solvency.)

I'm restating that anyone here who defended the actions/behaviour of the FAI and JD from 2014, anyone who criticised or threatened legal action on fans/newspapers/journalists for asking questions, dissenting, protesting, carrying banners, throwing tennis balls, etc etc has no right to call themselves an Ireland supporter or a supporter of irish football, simple as. The entire structure at that time was rotten to the core. 

Finally, I'm not gloating - gloating is defined as "to feel or express smug self-satisfaction about something such as an achievement, a possession, or somebody else's misfortune" . I'm calling SHAME on those in the FAI who knew and who could have made a difference but chose to either turn the other way because of benefits like free trips, free coffee, free tickets, free photos with famous people etc etc. 

I'm certainly not gloating about the FAIs misfortune. I'm devastated and embarrassed as an Ireland fan, and disgusted as an Irish citizen.
