The Sunday Game

[muppet]

I am wondering if the Brazilians think Hickey is not their top target. Their mentioning of Delaney makes me think they want to dig into FIFA as well as the very top of the IOC. This could be the start of something very interesting regarding world sport, but the silence from other countries, including our own, is deafening. Official Ireland will want it to just fizzle out, but we should be demanding more.

Would it be too much to ask a few good journalists to survey their nation's Olympic Athletes to see a) how many tickets their families got and b) how many the Rio Organisers allocated for their families? I am thinking UK and a few others. The results might be interesting.

Olive loughnane was interviewed in the Irish independent yesterday and said across 3 olympics her family got 1 ticket. 1.

If it is that blatant why have people not spoke up before about this??

Maybe the athletes were told that the OCI only got a handful of tickets for events and took it at face value.

IF blatant corruption around awarding to host cities, state sponsored drugging and match fixing doesn't do it then a few dodgy ticket sales won't either.

Tickets will get onto the black market regardless. If I was a ticket provider I'd be supplying the black market too.

Which event was Pat Hickey competing in?

Or the vault.

Maybe the High Jump?

Spillane talks of the health of Kerry football. He mentions the Intermediate and Junior Club All Irelands as well as the Junior AI Kerry have won this year. What he fails to mention is that coincidentally all these only show us is that Kerry having only 8 senior Club teams give them a huge advantage at these grades!

Lookit, just be glad they gave Tom the day off.

Have Kerry any more old, slow lads to bring on?
