They might not have to worry about attending the Euros at Casement.

Just to clarify.

My comment was about Alan McDonald. He definitely said in a documentary (although I can't quote him, I'm just going off memory) that he was happy that we got a scare but glad we qualified.

The more I see of Conor Bradley the angrier I get at the FAI dropping in the ball. There is no way he should be playing for the north over us given his background

I know the default on here many times is to blame the FAI or previous managers  but like Declan Rice he made his own choices. 

If he's happy to be referred to as a 'northern Irishman' a made up nationality then let him off and represent that statelet crowd up the road.

They had him in their senior squad before he turned 18 and before he even kicked a ball in a senior game of football at any level. That's very difficult to turn down in those circumstances and that age, so I don't hold it against him personally for accepting. I do think he might come to regret it however.

My bigger beef here is with the FAI. Their non-activity in the North is infuriating. They are more active in trying to recruit English born players in academics across the water than they are Irishmen playing in Ireland. They must have some unofficial agreement with the IFA because it's baffling that they don't have a presence in Derry and Belfast.

Bradley seemingly was already in the North's senior squad before he belatedly came across the radar of anyone in the FAI. Even then Jim Crowford said they tried to reach out to him via a 'third party'. A third party??? FFS that's criminal. Why didn't Crawford or Kenny pick up the phone and ring him directly. As I said, infuriating

What kind of presence are they supposed to have in another FIFA recognised jurisdiction? I'm in fundamental agreement with your sentiment btw but there's a lot of assumption and conjecture in your post.

Last time I checked the FAI headquarters are still in abbotstown and then do accept incoming calls 

I don’t get the  â€˜ if only the FAI had of done xyz we could have had …

If they are content ( and as I said no body is forcing them to play. ) to play for NI then so be it , it’s their choice - it’s not my flag it’s not my anthem

There needs to be a pathway for players from the North to get into the Irish system earlier. More scouting, couches on the ground etc. I think physical centres of excellence would be a good idea (not just for the north btw, but throughout the island - if the GAA and Rugby are already doing why aren't we. That's a whole other argument).

The FIFA jurisdiction thing you've referenced is a red herring. The FAI are already actively scouting in other countries (namely England). There a team from North already in the national league which is under the FAI jurisdiction etc etc

That's the point though. I don't see that happening as the IFA would explode over it and it might be a problem when it comes to planning permission. LOL

Not much the IFA could do if, hypothetically, the FAI were to co fund a 'Derry City FC Centre of excellence' and use it as their own base. Won't happen of course but still, that should be the aim
