In the Star today, if the Bohs game is on the same week, they want it moved for 'their' game against Man United. I can only imagine they will do the same if other clubs euro games are on that week.

Obviously the fai wouldn't be able to sanction any euro fixtures that week, due to third party commitments.

Edit:
Just checked the seeding, and would seem some crowd called liverpool are potential opponents in the third round of the europa

Their gone beyond a joke!
They think a friendly is more important than a champions league game!
Is this the last year of their contract to govern the league of ireland?I really hope the Plat One all ireland league is still workable due to the current economic situation and the clubs decide to go for that,because the fai do F-all for the league..
With this, and the Limerick Barca game, the FAI are showing themselves to be money-grabbing attention whores. What a joke they are.
They clealry have no interest in the LOI, only when it suits them, i.e. putting out an LOI XI for their glamour friendly and needing the league to have a national team.

Yes the FAI are a joke but i dont think Platinum One is the way forwardOriginally Posted by cob655
Here on a technicality.
they surely cant be any worse than the current shower.If there in it to make money they will at least be 100% committed to the venture not like the FAI who treat us like a bad smell at best.

From today's Sun...
at first thought it might have been so that they could use Aviva for Bohs CL game if they moved it to the following week, but Ireland play Argentina on Aug 11In the Star today, if the Bohs game is on the same week, they want it moved for 'their' game against Man United. I can only imagine they will do the same if other clubs euro games are on that week.
must be because they want the Bohs players available for the Airtricty XI

This is the last year of the FAI's deal to run the league, correct? I can't see the clubs ok'ing them continuing on with running the league. I'm sure John Delaney and the boys will be delighted.
Do they want UEFA to move the potential date? Farcical stuff. We'd be the laughing stock of Europe. Has anyone got the text of the full story? I don't mean to sound so sceptical, but this one truly boggles the mind.In the Star today, if the Bohs game is on the same week, they want it moved for 'their' game against Man United.

On the Bohs-Barca friendly idea, if Barca were approaching Bohs about it - inviting Bohs to host them? - who would pay the fees to whom and whatnot?
As for the followng: "A Bohs source said: "We went to the FAI but we didn't even submit a formal application as we were told 'no way'."
I'd be very interested in hearing the FAI's perspective on that, because the way it's made sound here is as if they were immediately dismissive of Bohs' query without even considering any possibility of it materialising at all.
Bit about it from Daniel McDonnell here: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...n-2181578.html
It's especially rich seeing as this would suggest it's entirely within the FAI's power to free up Limerick from their "obligation to retain ownership" of the date of their now-cancelled friendly with Barca.
But lobbying UEFA to have our national champions' potential competitive European date moved in order to facilitate a completely meaningless money-spinning friendly that already offends the senses enough?... Sweet Christ; talk about adding insult to injury. I can't really say much else other than if poor Jesus has any more tears left in his ducts over this lot, he'd be weeping tidal waves right now.
that article suggests they only want to move Bohs from the Wednesday to the Tuesday if they are at home in the second leg and if the game is fixed for the Wednesday
Is the FAI not formed by and run by member clubs? Do these member clubs not send reps to the FAI who in turn sit on the committees who pass such judgements? It would be interesting to know the make up of the committee who appear to be giving 2 fingers to their fellow members.
- John Delaney
- Lackey #1
- Lackey #2
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Only?
It would be just brilliant of the clubs withdrew from the FAI and ditched Delaney.
And which club sends Delaney to represent them?
He got into the FAI through Waterford Utd but he's had nothing to do with them for years. Full time CEO I think he gave himself a 10 year contract a few years back
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Delaney United FC. The FAI is practically a dictatorship.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
So he is a paid employee there to do the bidding of the membership of the FAI ie the clubs. Such decisions need to be ratified by committee's made up of member club reps. So it doesn't cover my initial question about which reps ratified such.
