Any idea why neither the Irish captain or manager cast votes for the Ballon d'Or.
Is it some kind of protest at FIFA or simply another ****-up?
The Irish media voted Xavi - Sneijder - Messi

Because it's just done by the media now I think.

No, International mangers, international captains, and a media representative from each FIFA country get a vote.
RIo Ferdinand, for example, voted for Sneijder.
Neither Trapatoni or Keane voted.
Not sure I'd go so far as the OP there to suggest it was a **** up. It might just be that they didn't bother. Nothing to worry about

argentina and iraq were also the same, they didnt vote (didnt have a vote?)
Everyone has a vote. up to them if they use it. Wales and Chile are other non voters apparently

With all the free time Robbie has at the moment with not playing you'd think he'd have filled the form in!!!
