It's actually ridiculous that you can not have a discussion about John Delaney without it having to be retracted or be threaten with legal action . You can't get away with anything ie a banner in the Aviva .

It's an opinion piece based on factual information so obviously there is nothing new in there and how is it "more crap".....  What makes it news is that the international press are latching on to stories about the FAI's CEO. The British press were on to him after Joe McDonnell gate also. So it's not the 1st time. What more makes it news is that something underhand appears to have lead to balls.ie having to pull it from their website. A State funded organisation should not be spending money on legal teams protecting an individual's public image when as you say anything in the article appears to have been out in the open already so therefore defamation doesn't really come into it. Of course, balls.ie may have just taken it down as they weren't attracting enough hits - this is more likely the case I suppose.. I am sure some newspaper will follow up on this - most likely the Times as they seem to be the only paper with a legal team that are willing to take him on. |

Calling an opinion piece in a website that most people have never heard "International Media" is a bit of a stretch. |

A million people (If that) ticked a box at one time, all of a sudden people believe a website talks for those 1 million when reality is that if 3% actually read any of it then that is a success. |

I fail to understand the point you are making? Are you saying that it is not a good barmoeter for how popular a publication/website is? To put it in context; Guardian football has 1.1M followers - probably the most popular football publication in Britain L'equipe has 2.6m - obviously much smaller than Lequipe as its a sports publication not just a football one.

No newspaper will pick up on it here and for good reason.
Those who say they should are living in fantasy world. It's an opinion piece and France have different libel laws to Ireland. People who think you can simply republish someone else's opinion are living on another planet. |

Maybe so. But it does seem that the only paper that has a legal team willing to take him on is the Times. The other papers seem to run a mile from breaking any story about him. A happy coincidence maybe that his buddy is involved in a lot of the other mainstream media outlets in this country. If it wasn't for the Times, there'd have been a lot less written on the FAI/John himself in the last two years.

Have you a facebook account ? Do you read every link to every story that is posted on it ? Do they change or inform you in the slightest or it just another piece of communication that on majority of occasions you will ignore. Hell Michael Jackson still has 20 million plus facebook followers and he has not produced any decent music in ages.......

Why bother getting it removed if such a small percentage of people will read it Oscar ?

Its like the old "everybody assumes the boss wanted it done so it was done", boss never cared but all the underlings did. I saw nothing there that have not read previously but all of a sudden because Irish media don't post it verbatim they are censoring it rather they reading it and saying "Er that is not news". If someone's opinion on a website was news we would all be forever in the news. |
