QuoteDelaney out! We need to let everyone see where the real problem lies.
I don't think an internet petition will have the desired effect:
People going to the Czech game on Wednesday: don't forget the white hankies.
Spread the word.
Delaney out! We need to let everyone see where the real problem lies.

Ah yeah! blame Delaney for everythinig that has gone wrong with Irish football for the last 30 years. Blame Delaney for all the multiple ****-ups down in Cork, Dublin, elsewhere. Blame Delaney for last night. Blame Delaney for state that the eL is on. Blame Delaney for feeling ****ty today. Blame Delaney for the weather.
This could very well be the best thing that has ever happened to Irish soccer as it will finally now make people sit up and take stock of the state of the game in this country. Delaney's proposals to take over the league is a step in the right direction. We need branch & root reform of soccer in this country and calling for the resignation of the most articulate, professional and visionary CEO that the FAI has ever had is certainly not the answer. There is alot of incompetents involved in running soccer here but Delaney is not one of them. If anything he has now singlehandedly brought a breath of fresh air to the league. His new league model will revolutionise soccer in this country.
I just want to see the Genesis report implemented.
Partizan, you're making a fool of yourself. You're loyalty is clouding your judgement. Delaney got rid of Kerr and vowed to replace him with a world class manager. He then hired Staunton. This is all down to Delaney. He will not stop until he has ruined the game. His plan for the eircom League is to convert all football clubs into fan clubs for English Premiership teams. See his praise of Sligo for proof.Originally Posted by Partizan

Good God you'd swear he was Blofeld or some arch villan ffs intent on eatng all our babies. Its typical Cark anti-Waterford bias clouding your judgement. Delaney made an almighty arse up when he appointed Staunton. It was a gamble that blew up in his face. Brian Kerr was never up to the Ireland job either and what saved him from a worse fate was the re-emergence of Roy Keane. Having Brian Kerr in charge would not have made much difference to our qualification hopes. The fact of the matter, with or without Kerr we would simply have not qualified bacause a) the players arent there & b) 30 years of faliure have finally come home to roost and I believe will finally wake up the general public of the deep malaise that has been occuring in Irish soccer.
The Charlton years just papered over the cracks and now here we are over a decade later staring at the bare facts that football in this country from top to bottom is in a shambolic mess. Who's fault is that? Delaney's?
I think that its premature in calling for Delaney's head. How long has he being in the job? I think his new proposals will revolutionise in how this league is run given time. I'm not saying this because he's connected to WUFC but you cannot blame the ills and wrongs of 30 years at the door of just one man. Delaney ha snow been left carrying the can and its a job I dont envy. The result last night albeit depressing is perhaps the best thing that has happened ever to the game in this country - - ONE BIG WAKE UP CALL.
Are you for real? Nothing is going to change while Delaney and Staunton have important roles in the FAI. There's no point waking up to the problems if you're not going to take any action to resolve them.

its not a bad idea...can you see it take off though...only got 800 euro for a foot.ie flag
do people care enough to do something...???
i really dont know...
No, you are making a fool of yourself.
Talk about rhetoric.
His praise of Sligo for an innovative idea is "proof" that he wants to convert EVERY club into premiership fan clubs?? Ludicrous.
Agreed. You'd swear by some of the C/\wkies here that John Delaney is the devil incarnate and to blame for all the fvck-ups of the last 30 odd years. John Delaney wants to bring the league kicking and screaming from the 1960s into the 21st century and this mullah comes up with a gem like that. Blaming Delaney for all the mess is simply throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Delaney is the new scapegoat, a patsy as you will. What about the incompetent crooks that have held prominent positions in the FAI? Louis Kilkcoyne anyone. Staunton should go but Delaney leaving (when all he wants to do is to bring some sort of professional set up to the league here for the first time ever) would bring ourselves into an even bigger disaster than we find ourselves in at present. Who would want the job of the FAI CEO? Answer nobody, its a poisoned chalice.
I wouldnt depend on Brady or Aldridge implementing long term structers for the eL. Would they fvck.
Partizan would you crawl out of Delaneys hole and realise the man is killing our game!!
I hate agreeing with Corkmen but Peader is right!
"Innovative"? I pity the people you're teaching English to if you apply that word to what Sligo did.
Partizan is pro Delaney because they're from the same stable, what's your excuse?
Partizan thinks that Delaney is good because he thinks he'll implement change. I'm sticking to the facts and stating that Delaney is killing the game. He promised a World Class manager when he sacked Kerr. Then he dug up an ex-player and started calling him a manager. He bestoyed that title on an individual who is quite obviously unsuitable for the job.
I wont even get into the Shels tax stuff. The guy is bad for the game at every level.

i hope the fans do the surrender thing next wednesday
what dya mean jolly?
As soon as it kicks off, everyone should stand up and walk out.
We aint gonna qualify now so fcuk them (the players) they don't give a fcuk anyway, so why should we. Im serious. Id rather watch eL players lose to the Czechs and Germans as long as they show a bit of heart and give 100%. And we'll probably do Wales, San Marino and Cyprus with them a nd secure 4th seed next time round.
SHOT - Delaney
FCUKED OUT - Stan Laurel and Ronald McDonald
DE-CAPTAINED - Keane (and possibly dropped)
DROPPED - O'Brien, O'Shea, Kilbane, Morrison (all never picked again, in fact take their passports off them)
KICKED UP THE DUFF - Duff
It has been implemented. Delaney got what he wanted from it.

I stand by my use of the word. Here is another definition you might find useful.
Dictionary = a kind of book we use to learn about words we dont understand.
Peadar, I challenge you to find ONE post where I support John Delaney.
Here are some excerpts from another thread (edited so it isnt deleted)-
John Delaney Murdered Irish Football!
John Delaney has managed to set Irish football back 100 years in a matter of months. The Waterford man must have an agenda to destroy the game from within. He is single handedly to blame for the greatest national shame since Michelle Smith.
I also challenge you to explain how he has set the game back 100 years in a matter of months.
Please explain how you reach the conclusion that Delaney, rather than just clueless, is actually seeking the destruction of the irish football infrastructure.
You're spewing lots of bile, and it is over the top.
Delaney should go, I fully agree, but when you blame him out of all proportion, you weaken the validity of your arguement.

Don't bore me!
You have an issue with me, rather than my opinion. I pity you, to be honest. Probably have relatives from Waterford or something like that. Half Limerick, half Waterford. Now there's a scary thought!
There's stuff about Delaney that is well known in eL circles. Some well documented and some which I wouldn't risk posting here. It will all come out in the wash eventually. If you don't know it then it's not my place to tell you.

I know we are all still hurting after Saturday night. Things look gloomy for Wednesday – in fact this is the first time for a long time that I cannot see us getting a result from an Ireland game.
Having said that, we must get behind the team. Nothing is going to change over the next few days so we’re stuck with what we’ve got.
Saturday night’s result was a disaster but it was still only three points dropped. As unlikely as it seems, we’re still in with a chance of qualifying.
Look at the North – beaten by Iceland then went on to beat Spain – maybe we can do the same. Hopefully our players/manager will be so ashamed of what happened on Saturday that they will pull out all the stops (clutching at straws here).
Protest about the Manager/FAI by all means but don’t let it get in the way of supporting your team. Put your disgust at the players to one side. If we don’t show any passion, we can hardly complain that the players or manager are not doing the same.
what happened when brian kerr was fired (not reinstated to use the offical line) - **** up appointing new boss as we were kept waiting for o'neill when he didn't want job, then left no other options we appointed stan. who's fault is this mess - stan for taking a job that everyone of us would accept or the lunatic who put him there. whatever you thought of brian kerr he was a lot better than what we have now - i personally felt he should of stayed on for one more campaign and at least provide some stability.
if stan goes on wednesday night who will then take the job after firstly kerr was let go when most outside of ourselves in ireland thought he did a decent job (in fairness we were only a goal against the swiss at landsdowne away from the play offs) and then firing our only candidite after 3 games.
we have a very limited squad and by the last couple of knee jerk reactions very little patience. who would want the job - answer? probably niall quinn or ronnie whelan. sure we'll surely win with that!
the fai have put us in this situation and barr stayin with stani can't see any other option
