"MISSING" IRELAND SHIRT.LET DOWN BY FAI

I will 100% agree that i am as, RTID said a "wreck the head" and as da scientist said masturbation and a beer would also help but i have put my heart and soul for the last 14 years into the Museum project.

When the shirt originally went missing the FAI had a chance to just be honest and tell me it was gone and then offer to replace it. Problem solved. They didnt.

Then i approached the first senior FAI staff member who could also have ordered a replacement jersey.Problem solved. They didnt.

Then i contacted the second senior FAI staff member who could also have ordered a replacement jersey. Problem solved. They didnt.

Then i was contacted by the third senior FAI staff member who told me he had ordered a replacement jersey. Problem solved. They didnt.

Literally ONE phonecall/email in the last 6 months is all this could/would/should have taken from any of the three senior FAI staff members i dealt with to somebody senior in Umbro Ireland requesting a jersey and that would have solved this issue, quickly and quietly.

Like many folks on YBIG i would consider myself a loyal supporter of the team for many years and by extension their sponsors. It is very easy to say "let it go" and "get over it" but that is missing the point.

I can only compare myself to what i would see as a loyal, regular customer of the company i work for. If we let down a customer of mine i would go out of my way to try make the matter right for them. As i said before a bit of common sense,empathy and urgency go along way resolving any situation and all these things cost nothing.

Even when i returned my Season Tickets in frustration there was no urgency in their response. Sure they had my money already who cares if he doesent go to the rest of the games. f**k him.

It just showed to me how much my loyalty thru out the years was appreciated.

In fairness to Umbro it was a problem not of their making so why should they have to resolve it.

Again just ONE phonecall/email from the FAI to Umbro is all that this should have taken to resolve it. For some reason that contact was never made.

That is the bottom line RM

He didn't claim to be a member of the Chartered Accountants of Ireland by any chance?

beat me to it

I'd bring them to court on principle and expose them for what they are. What law do you think they have broken? The being disorganised or ignoring a head wrecker act of 1949?
