Blatter has announced moral compensation for the FAI, but not financial.
Any ideas what he means, a few spring to mind
Shay and Robbie to lead out the French team holding the FIFA Fair Play Flag in their opening game
Duffer and Kilbane to be allowed be ballboys for the final
Increased allocation of tickets for Irish Fans for North Koreas group stages
Fair Play died Nov 18th 2009, Stade Francais.
Delaney to Ref all of Frances games at the world cup.Originally Posted by Greenforever
Years from now, we get to refer to this World Cup wistfully as "the one that got away".
You can't spell failure without FAI
My guess would be that we might be seeded in the euros or teh next world cup,I dunno much about the rules reagrding that but maybe they might compensate us by giving us an easy ride to teh next world cup.
OR
They could compensate us by:
Thierry Henrys disciplinary action could be to send him to Ireland and let him be the property of th irish public between now and the world cup.Let him travel the length and breath of teh country and we can do what we want with him

a "symbolic award"..... this is exciting
Do you mean seeded second instead of third for Euro 2012? In which case you'd need to leapfrog three or four other countries. Who wouldn't be too pleased.
For first seeding, make that about 12 others.
It's not going to happen.
Robbie Keane as mascot would sound right.
As regards moral compensation, I think PeterC1992 has it right. And as the final punishment for Henry - play the season in the first with Mervue Utd. As waterboy. Let him on for the odd game as left full back, just to frustrate him, before relegating him back to waterboy duties should he overcome the lack of any quality support on the field. The kicking, the shirt pulling and sly elbows would really sort him out, long ever before he got through the carpark.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
This is the award apparently
How avout a 33rd team?
Seems like a good idea.
"We will look at that. Yesterday Ireland withdrew their demands and they asked to meet with us and we will do that next week."
Blatter is the Spin Master..........
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?
"No, I drink to help me mind my own business....can I get you one? (c) Ronnie Drew
I forgot to say there is a fantastic prize for the best post, it will be a moral symbolic prize signed in spirt by the Hon Mr Blatter.
Joking aside I reckon he may well offer us a spot in the confederations cup in 2013 in Brazil, as far as I know it is partially by invitation, but not sure.

Symbolic??... Only half that word is apt!!
If I was Delaney I would be sending a fax back to Del Boy pronto. Something along the lines of 'Arse, up, stick etc. Del Boy is continuing his stand up routine.
We get a big hug from the football family?
Moral compensation is the perfect response to our moral outrage IMO.
To my mind the fairest solution that doesn't tread on people's toes would be to promote Ireland up the seedings for the next couple of qualification draws (Euro & next World Cup).
It'll cost nothing to do, with minimal disruption or noses getting put out in the other associations (although if Ireland got promoted to 1st / 2nd seeds, it might mean someone else being demoted).
I'm surprised no one - especially the FAI - never mentioned this idea before because it seemed to me to be the most realistic and smartest solution for everyone.
enough is enough. a replay would have been appropriate but everything suggested since is not. in fact this latest gesture is nothing more than condescending
A replay we could have lost. Promoting our seeding rank would be a handy booster for the next campaign
and if we lost a replay then so be it. you should only qualify, have your seeding boosted, qualify for the confederations cup etc on the football pitch
