Are you suggesting that they deliberately misled the FAI?

I emailed the FAI last week to find out just that but I've not had a response.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
I don't know to be honest, but it's ridiculous that they played without being eligible and that two entirely eligible Irish lads missed a place in the respective squads because of it. I think the FAI are ultimately to blame though - you can't really heap blame on young lads like that. I mean, the FAI know the rules. I'd just love to know the full story behind it all.

Interesting looking at how our players did this weekend. From the team we put out on Wednesday against France:
Shay Given played 90 minutes
John O'Shea not on the bench for Man U, injured
Richard Dunne played 90 minutes against Burnley
Kevin Kilbane on the bench for Hull but did not play
Sean St. Ledger played 90 minutes for Middlesbrough
Damien Duff introduced on 75 minutes for Fulham (subbed on for Stephen Kelly)
Keith Andrews on the bench for Blackburn but did not play
Glenn Whelan on the bench for Stoke but did not play
Liam Lawrence introduced on 57 minutes for Stoke
Robbie Keane on the bench for Spurs but did not play
Kevin Doyle not even on the bench for Wolves against Chelsea
subs:
Paul McShane introduced on 57 minutes for Hull
Darron Gibson introduced for Manchester United on 83 minutes
Aiden McGeady played 90 minutes for Celtic
very worrying indeed. Two of our four first choice midfielders were subbed on, the other two didn't play, and our first choice striker duo didn't kick a ball in anger. A case of them being too knackered after Wednesday's heartbreak or something more perhaps?
Doyle and Keane were rested. Whelan had a groin strain even though he was on the bench. O’Shea was injured also.
KK's days looked numbered at Hull. Andrews has lost his place recently, but is still a valued squad player. Lawrence is out of favour at the moment at Stoke.
Always look on the bright side of life
I just noticed this on the bbc website - dont know much about this guy, but he's only 20 so maybe someone should email the FAI since they always seem the last to find out about players eligability
