So was it a 'Nigel Worthington' issue then??

The Belfast Telegraph reported that the NI fans association, before the tournament began, had wanted the IFA to restrict the distribution of tickets to the regular fans.
After ignoring that advice and putting the tickets on free sale, some trouble happened on the evening of their game against Scotland, the IFA were then asking the regular fans to pay the price in the latter games, for the effects of their own foolishness.
As had been previously predicted, it is now being mooted by the Belfast Telegraph that the IFA's desperation to get this tournament off the ground (underwriting a "guarantee" to the SFA) may have resulted in the IFA losing up to £500,000 on the Carling Cup venture.
I'm sure those who boycotted the tournament on account of the "poaching" of the FAI are well chuffed - they've hit the FAI where it hurts...in the IFA's pocket.
As someone who boycotted the Northern Ireland games v the South & Wales on account of the IFA's attempts to rip Northern Ireland fans off, and treat them like dirt, I feel it serves them right.

Very good, NB. Entertainingly put.
Fair enough NB.
Maybe turkeys shouldn't 'vote for Christmas' ...
