Ireland versus Brazil

[lynchbhoy]

anyone see yesterdays 'Irish' mail on sunday - where that eejit chief exec of the fai could hardly hold his contempt for the GAA by saying that soccer and rugby shoul dnever play in Croke park again for the next 10 years because the GAA said that allowing soccer and rugby to be played in croker was 'temporary' !

bitter fcuker !!

is there a particular reason why the sports agency wanted the game played in a 60,000 seater stadium in london rather than an 74,000 one in dublin?

London. 60,000 Brazilains live there.

Emirates stadium. £600,000 to rent. Croker. €1,400,000 to rent, plus the GAA keep the the food and drink revenues. In your own time.

It was the independent that said that. Either Breheny or McGee. Of course the independent is the Wikipedia of newspapers these days.

And Breheny or McGee are experts on the subject of the Brazilian FA and London based sports agencies?

Don't worry. The Metropolitan Police are working on that problem.

Do the sports agency get the food and drink revenues at the Emirates?

Actually, its an unsourced quote from Delaney saying that at the time the FAI decision was made to buy half of LR Croker was only available until LR was finished. The GAA have changed their stance in the meantime and he is supposed to have said that if future availability of Croker was stated as the case at the time, it would have been a factor in the FAI getting involved in the LR project or not.

I'm struggling to see how you got what you got from that piece.
