Lansdowne protest...?

[thejollyrodger]

Red card idea , excellent
I agree !! :)


It looks like progress is being made.

Those journo's wouldnt be reading this board by any chance :D I hope the protests do go ahead !

[oconghc2]

reckon red card is best idea!

think there should be a meeting place before game - distribute cards etc, let others (i.e no involved with EL)

don't know if anyone knows, but what kind of a wage is Rooney on?

totally disagree with the way he's being treated, but any true fan wouldnt demand a huge wage if it was something he cared about!!

Don't get me wrong - i reckon he's not just in it for money! and he has made progress!! but chanting his name for me is a bit too much like hero worship for the guy. IMO he should be making this progress despite the auld sh*ts in Merrion Sq.

I stand to be corrected bout his wage though!! :)

[exile]

yep il be up for that how about murrays before hand we can ask a moderator to sticky a time and a place when we have agreed one

[strangeirish]

Think he is on about €250K plus expenses/performance related bonuses.

Would probably end up with €300K +

maybe we should ask fran to pop down to reads and buy 40000 red pieces of card!!!! :)

[b_mcsweeney]

i'd be onboard with the idea of some sort of protest, i'm sick of the old boys gang in the fai doing nothing but shooting down anyone who tries to progress the organisation. and even if rooney is doing a terrible job, it can't be any worse than the one that they were doing for the last 80-90 years or so. we could try getting gangs of people to buy sheets of red card and write em up, if we could get 50 people to do 40 each (or 100 people doing 20 each) say that'd be a pretty decent spectacle. meet up and disperse them before the game. few banners and chants too and that should get the message across well enough

[dean02]

Dont start that " one all ireland soccer "stuff on this thread ! Its is about Rooney and the clowns in the FAI.

A protest has to be made about how things have been handled and the fact that Genesis hasnt been implement. Its nothing to do with the IFA.

Rooney hasnt done anything wrong, those muppets just want to keep the Circus going so they can have their jobs for life :mad:

Roooo - ney Rooo -ney Rooo -ney !!!!

If Rooney hasn't done anything wrong maybe we can find out more? What do the other bodies in the FAI think he's done wrong? Why did he avoid answering questions on Primetime? Why (if you believe some commentators on liveline yesterday) do the underling office staff in FAI suffer because of a 'dictorial' management style? Is he not the CEO? Where does the buck stop? Why has not one management meeting not taken place in the FAI e.g. Packie Bonner? On what basis would you wish to chant his name over the other incompetents at the FAI?

[dean02]

in favour of rooney totally. the only true football fan in the organisation and the only one Competent enough to do his job. all the others are what rk would describe as the "prawn sandwich brigade" only der for the cushy number, the expenses, the publicity and the trips to far flung destinations. what the fai needs is a Committee with enough drive and vision to do justice to the ordinary football fans around the entire country. just suggestin that while the fai has gone in to free fall it might be a good oppertunity to rebuild the organisation as a 32 county body

Completely agree that a rebuild is required but not in favour of Rooney - How do we know he is the only true fan and that he's competent?

[Bald Student]

How do we know he is the only true fan and that he's competent?

While wheather or not he's competent or not is a matter of opinion, the onus is on those firing him to show that he's incompetent. The reasons given for removing him (the unpaid tickets, the restaurant bill and the joke) don't hold water. I'll side with him untill the people trying to get rid of him give a good reason for thinking he's incompetent

[skbio_toronto]

To be honest it looks like its your own fault. I could be wrong but try separating the email addresses with a semi colon or comma instead of a colon. Or do them separately.

i.e. milo.corcoran@fai.ie, john.delaney@fai.ie


Cheers,

the mails have now been sent to messr's Corcoran & Delaney. Fat lot of good that will do!!

This thread got a mention in one of the newspaper this morning. It was either the Star or the Sun. Can't remember which one as I flicked through both of them on the train down from Dublin today. Somebody has noticed!! Good work.

[dean02]

Sent a one line message of support to Rooney yesterday and got a reply this morning thanking me. Nice touch on his part.

Did you get a reply when you we're looking for your promised match tickets against France in France? or did you get a reply when you logged onto the FAI website and sent a message to the CEO...

...or did you get a message from a person so keen to keep his €250k a year job that he'll do absolutely anything to keep his it bar implementing genesis in the 18 months he was charge!

Dean, I doubt you will find anyone in the world that will do 100% of what the fans want. If Rooney is sacked I'm certain he won't be replaced by anyone better and there is no valid reason to sack him.

Hi eirebhoy
No, never thought you'd get someone to do what 100% of fans want. What fans want at a point in time can be at odds with what's good for the game overall, that's why strong and proper leadership is required ...someone who is really good for football.

I doubt the FAI would find anyone half as good as Fran Rooney. Most of what Rooney does is for the fans.

And tell me, how are John Delaney and Milo Corcoran good for football? You know what the one constant is in the farce that has been the FAI over the last 5 years? You'll be shocked to learn that the one constant is that Delaney and Corcoran have presided over the last 5 years of mayhem, which has included 3 different CEO's in that time. So are all the CEO's wrong? Of course they are, sure isn't it as plain as day.........It's definately Rooney, no case of deja-vu here lads.....:rolleyes:

Anyone who supports Corcoran and Delaney needs to remove their head from their arse and smell the coffee.

[pineapple stu]

Fairly hard for him to implement the Genesis Report when you have Corcoran/Delaney actively standing in his way by not allowing him to advertise posts externally as was required under the report.

this deano guy is posting on other sites too under different names lads
will we be chanting stand up for the fran rooney yes we will

[Rochey]

Have to say I think a protest about the FAI is a good idea the place is a joke and its gone too far at this stage. I think corcoran and Delaney are the worst culprits and I fully support a protest against this two dinosaurs that refuse to let Irish Soccer progress. However I dont think keeping Fran Rooney will solve the problem. Even if he does stay then he will still have to deal with the other two muppets and he will get nowhere.

That is why we have to protest against the main problem Corcoran and Delaney they are whats wrong with the FAI. I fully agree with protesting against them. I think red cards or banners with

"Delaney Corcoran we've had enough" would be a good idea.

[Ash]

"Delaney and Corcoran ... Your Having A Laugh" :)

[Robinski]

Ok people, following Rooney's resignation, this protest must happen for even more reasons now.

The Farcical Association of Ireland must listen to how we feel about this, so must the government.

Delaney & Corcoran Out! Reinstate Rooney!

----and it isn't your buddies Corcoran and Delaney who are good for football. They're the common denominator in all the crap that's gone on over the years. The big skeleton of theirs must be awful close to falling out of the locker.
