Btw i saw a bray shirt in the crowd, no joke!

There was a photo of a guy in a Bray jersey on Page 3 of the Indo on Thursday morning.

Anyhow - not sure why we are debating this whole subject of trying to promote the LoI - what hope do we have when the Glorious Chief Executive of the Association equates a game between the current National Champions and his local club to the lowest of the low.

We don't stand a flipping chance

“Every time I go to a Fifa conference I hear all about fair play and integrity,” said Delaney. “Well, this wasn’t Bohemians against Waterford in the cup (speaking later, on radio, he also used the example of Sligo Rovers and Sporting Fingal). The whole world was watching last night and if Fifa really care about fair play and integrity they have a chance to show it. It’s up to the people who run the game to step forward because well done is better than well said.”

I think his point is that this was not merely a match of local interest, but one that has garnered attention around the world. the whole demanding a replay thing is a joke though.
