    The FAI to disband

    There is a poll over on www.soccercentral.ie about the FAI disbanding and a new, more professional association forming.

    Have a look !!
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I really think that as supporters we should launch an email blitz to our respective T.D's and senators and the leaders of all partys in the government houses to ensure their threat is carried out and in this manner sort out the organisation for good. We need a professional board supported by non-executives, something in a manner which distributes the power in a more balanced way. Fair enough, the government have done SFA for football but could you blame them.

    Who knows what went on in Merrion Square in the last year and a half, but we are bouncing round for years destroying the game here... Too much empathsis on International ball, on blazers and arsing about ant not enough on any other element of football... Using the carrot of money should ease those auld dinosaurs out of the association.

    No to Delaney and his 18 month bull**** interm ******.

    Evidence that the current crowd could not organise the proverbial p**s up?

    TD's and the like will take feck all interest in the FAI's current and ongoing internal woes. There's no votes in it, it's an issue they don't fully understand or directly influence, and it's one they can have little or no impact on.

    Irish football's current crisis would therefore be best tackled from within. That is good for disenchanted supporters like ourselves. If we work through our own club structures and encourage our team's boards to publicly and privately raise issues regarding the FAI then that will have much more of an impact. The downside is that it needs one or 2 clubs to show leadership on this before anyone else will follow. Unfortunately leadership is something we sorely lack in Irish football ! Cork City already spoke out openly in favour of Rooney - perhaps they might be a good place to start on the issue ?

    Any revolution in Irish football would only have a chance of success if it comes from within......

    The only way the FAI will get anywhere and change, is for a total clearout.

    Get rid of them all before they destroy our game completely
