Idea for Protest against Delaney

[co. down green]

Personally i think the black tshirts would be a dreadful idea. Having one fan among ever 300 hundred with the tshirts is hardly gonna create a statement. the only protest is not going

Why not hand out/sell black poncho's and ask fans to wear them at the start of the game.

A fairly cheap way of making the black shirt idea work.

Something like the efforts below.

tbh i think a protest outside fai headquarters would be better - i think the irish fans should be only wearing green against germany.

wearing black would be unsettling for the players as well im sure

dont get me wrong like every1 else i think the management is a joke - but it wasnt stans fault he got the job - its delaneys fault along with his band of clowns at the fai
i think it would be better to keep the protest away from the game and take it to headquarters - we would gather en mass there

the clowns in the fai would have to take notice

anyone???

Definately.

Go to the game to support your country.

there will be max 300 at merrion square..there will be 70K plus at croke park...

protest in croke park will be more effective...probaly then followed by a protest in Merrion square on the afternoon of the cyprus game as the media will deffo give it airtinme/print ifthe sat urday is good

We should all part our hair in stupid looking quiffs for the game.

won't work..it will be seen as support to john delaney..unless that is what you planned

[Newryrep]

To the tune of Tom Jones 'Deliah'


My, my, my, Delaney
Why, why, why, Delaney
So before we come to break down the door
Forgive us Delaney we just couldnt take any more
Forgive us Delaney we just couldnt take any more

Having said that it wont make a blind bit of difference, turkeys dont vote fro Xmas

Delaney would be on the six o'clock news saying that the fans had parted their hair in support of the FAI.

A protest would be much more effective at Merrion square before the match... otherwise if we do any way well against Germany (a definite possibility), nobody will be in the form for protests.
It would only take a 100 people to make an impact at the FAI HQ, with news coverage guaranteed.

What it needs at this stage is for somebody to take it on and do some organising - any LOI supporters clubs or anybody else able to do it?

this is really important stuff.... otherwise we'll all be having the same discussion in two years time when none of us are going to the world cup!

Fcuking hell, one tournament out of eight.

Is there any other country in the Top 20 in Europe with a record as bad as that.

and yet some people think we have a divine right to qualify for tournaments. Ha! We are minnows.

[SligoBrewer]

black tshirts will look stupid as they'll blend in.

what should be done is get a load of xl white t shirts and hand them out before people get in to croker.

then inform the press that everyone wearing white or someother bright colour.. (yellow?) is against delaney and stans regime

yellow would be good as no one wears yellow in the autumn

Greece have also only qualified for one tournament since 1994 but they did win it
They are top of their group at the moment but it's a 3-way race for two places between them, Norway and Turkey.

Oh and according to the link below (yes I know wikipedia) we are 23rd so not in the top 20 in Europe, not sure how it will look after these qualifiers though.

surely it only takes 1 person and a petrol can to get on the news.. imagine what press 100 people would get!

[bawn79]

How about the opposite to the Jose tax, how about someone sets up a website where people can "pledge" money to allow the FAI to pay off Stans remaining years in his contract.
Something like www.getstanout.ie and all you have is a big counter with the pledge money going up and a list of pledges below.

I can start off by pledging €100. All we need is another 27,000 of me!

I think it would get some nice publicity!

[jmurphyc]

yeah i think doing something outside Merrion Square is more feasible than at Croke Park. Not enough people will catch on to a protest in Croke Park; too many daytrippers, event junkies etc. I mean, I remember a few years ago when the red card thing was happening at Lansdowne, and I'd only just started going to games, and I didn't have a clue as to what was going on. There's way too many people who don't give a **** who will be at the games in Croke Park so i don't think it would get any attention whatsoever unless it was coordinated really really well.

[Scram]

So this has gone out the window then ?

No surprise.

A Certain good football team north of London might argue that point....!!

[Closed Account 2]

Why doesnt everyone just chant "We want Delaney out" (to the tune of Jose Morinhio) for 5 - 10 mins from kick off at the start of the game.

Liverpool fans did that in the FA Cup match (sung a song about Hillsborough for the first 15 mins of a match) and it certainly got publicity.
