"The Football Association of Ireland (FAI)Are a bunch of f**king useless c***ts that should be taken out and shot. Everything that they touch turns to ash. wheither it's the Eircom League, all the money that they blew after the 1990 & 1994 world Cups, the Building of Eircom Park, The Roy keane incident, The Sacking Of Brian Kerr after he did the best that he could right down to the Appiontment of a man without no managerial experience and who talks through his arse...Mr Steve Staunton! the organising body for the sport of association football (soccer) in the Republic of Ireland. It should not be confused with the Irish Football Association (IFA), which is the organising body for the sport in Northern Ireland which is full of dirty fuckin huns and snakes."

A quality opening line not far from the truth.

the following bithas been removed from the bottom
Prior to his third game as international manager against The Netherlands at Lansdowne Road, Staunton was confronted by a man outside the team hotel on Monday 14 August with a gun. The 31 year old was arrested at a nearby beach and released by police the following day. He apparently used an imitation Uzi machine gun and his reasons remain unknown. Some believe that he was in fact from the future, and was attempting to stop this madness!!

:D that made me laugh
An online tool that claims to reveal the identity of organisations that edit Wikipedia pages has revealed that the CIA was involved in editing entries.
Wikipedia Scanner allegedly shows that workers on the agency's computers made edits to the page of Iran's president.
It also purportedly shows that the Vatican has edited entries about Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams.
The edit removed links to newspaper stories written in 2006 that alleged that Mr Adams' fingerprints and handprints were found on a car used during a double murder in 1971.
The section, titled "Fresh murder question raised" is no longer available through the online encyclopaedia.
The tool, developed by US researchers, trawls a list of 5.3m edits and matches them to the net address of the editor.
Wikipedia is a free online encyclopaedia that can be created and edited by anyone.
I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact the UK ambassador to the Vatican is from here.

Now don't you be getting our Francie into trouble. As if he would do such a thing... ;)
Would you not think that the inference from this report is that the Vatican may have sympathisers in its midst, or at the very least, revisionists.

The IP addresses of people making edits have been freely available since Wikipedia has been set up. Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of computers can spoof an IP address to show when they make an edit. It's also possible that a member of the public could have used one of the machines at the Vatican Post Office to make the edit or from one of the thousands of Church properties in Italy.
More probable though is that Sinn Fein is part of a global Papist conspiracy...
Dirty fenian bast*rds!! >:(
The Wikipedia entry sounds like the rantings of a Corkonian feeling the effects of one solid rock hard ride too many.
I predict that John Delaney will take immediate and affirmative action by fining Cork City €200,000, all in accordance with FAI regulations barring club supporters using the internet forum as a means for any form of criticism of the governing body of Irish soccer.

Vatican 'edited Adams web page'
A new internet tool shows how a Vatican computer was used to edit a web entry about Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams, American researchers have claimed.
Wikipedia Scanner developers said they can trace where changes to the popular online encyclopedia have been made.
They said news reports alleging Mr Adams's fingerprints and handprints were found on a car used during a double murder in 1971 were edited.
Sinn Fein said it was calling for more stringent regulation of the internet.
The Wikipedia page on Gerry Adams says it is "currently protected from editing until August 17, 2007 or until disputes have been resolved".
The section, titled "Fresh murder question raised" is no longer available through the online encyclopaedia.
Dr Kevin Curran, a computer expert at the University of Ulster, said: "Either you were using their computer and you are an employee, or you had maliciously hacked, spoofing the IP address and having people believing that you were using their network.
"But nine times out of 10, we can almost say that yes, an employee of that company or organisation has been making the changes."

It's not clear there that Kevin is referring to the Vatican but if he was, do you think he would have made the same statement if he was aware that machines with Vatican IP address are available to the public?
90% isn't a great percentage really - the population of the Vatican is 1,000 so that means 100 residents could have made the editing, and that's not to mention hackers.
That said, the more interesting issue I think is what is the truth behind the original fingerprints story? Allegations are all very fine, unsubstantiated on wikipedia or anywhere else, but what is the truth.
Civil servants editing Wiki pages
One of the edits in evil was "evil Irish"
Northern Ireland civil servants have been editing pages on the online reference source Wikipedia, it has been revealed.
Computers registered to the Northern Ireland Civil Service have made 967 changes, the Belfast Telegraph reported.
Most are innocent, but some with an apparent NI civil service IP address have made malicious comments.
One uses the phrase "evil Irish" on the entry on evil.
Others include links to allegedly pornographic images of a celebrity singer and websites that sell the sex drug Viagra, the Wikipedia Scanner revealed.
Comments about actress Katie Holmes going topless were made from the network and an entry for the Koran was edited to say: "Christians and other faiths usually refer to it as the Devil's bible."
One entry on Warrenpoint was changed from the town at one point being a series of "mud huts used by fishermen" to "mud huts used by mud lovin' aliens".
Another puerile edit on Crossgar was changed to read that 0.3% of the people "were congenial".
An Executive spokesman said civil servants could use work computers for personal use during non-working hours.
"Under the Northern Ireland Civil Service Internet and E-Mail Usage policy, set out in the NICS Staff Handbook, Northern Ireland civil servants are permitted to use official computer facilities for personal use," the spokesman said.
"Use of official facilities by staff for personal use is restricted to an individual's own time during non-working hours at lunch or before and after work.
"Any member of staff found to be in breach of this policy or to be using official facilities inappropriately may be subject to disciplinary action under the NICS Disciplinary Procedure."
Earlier in the week the same new internet tool showed how a Vatican computer was used to edit a web entry about Sinn Fein President Gerry Adam.
It has also been pointed out that people inside the BBC have been making edits to Wikipedia pages.

Judging by GAABoard this after work requirement is strictly observed!
