i seen the article and when I saw the thread I was going to post it. I know the FAI are a bunch of muppets but in fairness things have defintely improved a lot since Saipan. There is progress on a whole range of areas like
refereeing
clubs in Europe
licencing
facilities for the national team
more efficent FAI
etc
The IFA looks like it hasnt moved on since the 70's. The fact that you cant play football in the north on a sunday is a joke. Talk about being backward. Soccer was kept going in the north because of the religious hatred IMO. Very few clubs seemed to be particluarly intrested in making progress in Europe or developing their grounds and clubs.
