I couldn't make Wednesday's game so had to watch on TV, but THE FLAG was clearly visible in a prominent position behind the goal!Quote:

If we want to go the banner route count me in for €20 or whatever the going rate is. Sickening performance on the 6 o.c news yesterday.
Think it needs to be more than Delaney out though.
With respect, not interested in your tuppence worth. Either you have a banner, or you have a good excuse. That's what this thread's about. Too many Monty Python PFJ threads here.Quote:

€130 running total at this stage.
Put me in for €20 also
A €10 from me. I'll keep the other €10 for when we're raising money for the World class manager.....
Actually i did see it in the Square in Bratislava and outside Caffrey's in Prague. :o :oQuote:

Well i dont give a **** whther you are particularly interested or not but this is a fans forum and i will express my opinion as i wish. The simple fact is that no one is going to take much notice unless the banners are highly visible, thats my point. As for the Monty Python PFJ reference wtf??:confused:Quote:

This might sound stupid but what is the point in getting Delaney out?
Im not a fan of his and I admit he ****ed up with Staunton but he has a signed a six year contract (to the best of my knowledge) so if he leaves he will have to be paid this. Unless he resigns which I dont see happening.
Plus the chances are that he will be replaced by another plonker. Shouldnt we be getting behind the team in Wales rather than orgainising protests.
The most important thing I would think at the moment is to get a coaching team orgainised for the World Cup and then take if from there.
That is far too sensible an opinion for this forum! ;)Quote:

If banners are to be got for Wales (4 weeks from today) they will need to be got quickly. If people PM'd the Bannerman I'm sure he would help them out.
20 ft x 10 ft I think :confused: makes it the biggest Irish flag :pQuote:

Do something yourself!!!
Got a good reception when walking down O'Connell st. with the Delaney Out Banner!
Also the picture of the banner was in the Headline of the back page of the Herald. It said "CLEAR OUT!" "Delaney must walk the plank with Stan"
after wednesday nights debacle - i believe its time for action
according to reports stan will be fired today/this wk - so thats that problem hopefully dealt with
whereas i didnt agreeing with the booing of stan on wed - i can understand it
at the end of the day there is no point in the fans arguing with each other over it - we all have the same goal - irelands success
we have bigger fish to fry than stan - the fai chief exec and his pedigree chums - to do this we must all work together
if we stan is fired then i believe we must all give our full support to the team in cardiff and roar them on to victory - hence giving the new manager a better seeding to work with and a better chance of getting the green army the success we as fans deserve
so imo that leaves us with one option - we need to organise a mass protest outside fai headquarters
the time for talk is over - its time for action i believe
as i have said b4 stan cared for irish football - the problem was that he could not manage
but delaney and co are guilty of crimes against the team and most of all the fans
can we organise something and end the amateurs reign in fai headquarters
??????????
what are we gonna do about it???
FFS grow up!Quote:

What are you planning to do? Storm the building, tell UEFA and FIFA the FAI is now being run by 'people who care for Irish football'? ;)
There is process in place within Irish football to remove Delaney and 'co' or anyone else who 'has committed a crime against Irish football' That process starts with the clubs and the various leagues who make up the FAI National Council. If you want to protest and put pressure on then your energies would be better spent lobbying these repesrentatives than banner waving or jeering in Merrion Square or wherever.
This notion that Delaney will resign if there is enough protest by fans is fairytale stuff. It just won't happen!
Spot on.Quote:

Plus the idea of a mass protest at Merrion Square/Abbotstown is a non-runner. Did you see the Keano one on the Saipan documentary? A number of those in attendance looked a few sandwichs short of a picnic. Knowing this site, 000s would say they were going and ye'd end up with about 20 people actually turning up.
To me the banner is a chance to show that the fans aren't just scapegoating Stan for this. Fans are angry at Delaney for a number of things including; the "world class" appointment, the lies about Prague, incidents in the domestic game.
The banner(s) are a chance to show that there is widespread anger and disenchantment about Teflon John's actions in recent months .

Comical Genius:
"It is unfortunate that I have been linked to this appointment"
"It would be unfair to disenfranchise nine members of the Board from their opinions" - CLASSIC!!
...or in the words of any plain speaking man "Don't fcukin' blame me"
What a fcukin scheister!
As a shareholder in the Ireland team by way of investment of much of my emotion and quite a chunk of my earnings, I propose a motion of no confidence in John Delaney on the grounds of incompetence, shirking of responsibility and failure to excerise guardianship of FAI monies.....i.e. being a complete fcukin incompetent waster.
Let's hope that any reports of his demise are not exaggerated.

as someone - like you and everyone else on this board - i care for the irish football - all i want is answers from the chief exec - which i think we are in our right to demand - we are shareholders if you will
i fully appreciate ur fai council point and agree with ur sentiments - but delaney and his croonies are answerable to the people who invest in irish football - the fans
booing in a stadium will get rid of stan - but for delaney to be removed - bigger action has to be taken- thats all my point was mate
Perhaps it would help if you would share with us what you mean by 'bigger action' and who you are advocating should be taking this action, because the point I am making is that protests in Merrion Square and the Millenium Stadium (as it being suggested on here), will not result in Delaney resigning or being removed.Quote:

Though of course you need good seats (although of course the stadium will be nearly empty) and everyones agreement to do it. Plus media might miss it. still, cardiff is the place for a protest. I'll join a protest.
I like that plan SuperDave. Also we could wear cheap t-shirts in protest before the game, take them off at the start of the game and then put em back on afterwards (until we leave the stadium at least). This would force (hopefully) the commentary team to at least acknowledge what we are protesting about. Surely the would comment on the lack of colour.Quote:

maybe a protest outside the fai or in the stadium wont work - but i aint willing like the maj of the fans on this board to sit there and take this sh*t off the fai
if nothing else we can try - if u dont believe in protest - fair enough thats your belief - but i believe even if it draws some unwanted media attention to the fai board and their antics then that is something accomplished
its a question of how many will turn up?? - well thats down to the fans who really want him out and are willing to do more than type on online boards and just complain about it
It seems to me that quite a lot of the media want to see Delaney gone (Staunton is a foregone conclusion a this stage), I am sure that if we have a big enough event then the media will be only too glad to cover it as it will add to their case against Delaney. Any protest would need to ensure that people realise that Delaney is the target not Staunton. I would be happy to turn up at the FAI offices for a protest.
What about a phoenix magazine style cover, somebody head up to the FAI offices with a Christmas tree, hold it up outside the door then take a picture ensuring that it is obvious it is the FAI offices and add a caption with the words "It's a farce!". Send off said picture to the press (tabloids) and see if anybody will publish it.
fair play mate - i like ur thinkingQuote:

other posters - please submit your opinions
Suppose the foot.ie meet up in Cardiff is the best place to start something off?
Who's bringing flags?
Can someone with Paypal organise the flag?
I've got my Delaney Out t-shirt.
yeah i suppose if we all met up it could be the start of something hopefullyQuote:

pineapple stu - do u think also we could organise something outside the merrion sq - i would be very interested to hear foot members views on this - be it yes or no - would like ppls views
does any1 know if don "i dont have a clue" givens is gonna be in charge of the senior game in wales??
doesnt he have an u21 game the nite before?
It's on this thread, but I don't know how to go about arranging it (wasn't my intention at the start).
Won't get a protest at Merrion Square; too much effort involved from people. Cardiff's the best.
Delaney Out banner at the Pats vs Rovers match before the stewards took it.

prob is though - how many fans will turn up in cardiff??
probably about 3-5k. not the 30-50k there would be if we were on the edge of qualification. but the fai DON'T CARE. Qualification or not doesn't matter to them if we buy up all the tickets for useless displays against cyprus, san marino and their fu king ilk.Quote:

Maybe the more musically/lyrically oriented of you could take this song and modify it in someway to express our current distaste of Delaney.

What is the reason for taking the Banner of the people in the League of Ireland grous. They really do not have any grounds to take it do they.
What are you going to do about it though?
So anyone able to sort the banner?
Sorry I just realised my post could have been read another way so I clarified it.
