    Poor stuff here tbh - I can't go for that.

    I'm a bit out of touch with the pun game.

    You'd like to think Irish soccer fans are embarrassed at their fawning over JD down the years, but most of them probably will pretend it was only a minority who chanted his name in bars before/after games.

    Bonner/Kerr seemed to have really been screwed by Delaney. Shocking treatment of two lads who gave so much to Irish football
    Quite a good few on this site too

    Going through this now, quite late to the party. It's a remarkable story. A big "I have to put this down for a second" moment for me was Delaney in the Legal Eagle after losing the injunction case to the Times, teleconferencing the FAI board who are lining up to lick his boots about the "bridging loan". He really did an amazing job of surrounding himself in the FAI with people who thought he was the Messiah.

    Missed this part of the JD circus until today, any ruling on this since?

    Possibly a media blackout on it for a while, given it's so quiet.

    Very similar to that attempted injunction before. Hopefully the same result.
