Republic of Ireland fans stage protest against John Delaney at Gibraltar game

Under pressure

Conan Doherty

It was hard not to notice when the game is so dull.

A section of Republic of Ireland supporters used Friday evening’s game against Gibraltar to hold a protest of sorts against John Delaney’s tenure.

The FAI’s chief executive came under more pressure in light of revelations that the country accepted a FIFA payment after Ireland’s loss to France in the World Cup 2010 playoffs – Henry-gate, if you really don’t remember.

And, during Martin O’Neill’s side’s clash with the Group D minnows, a group of fans sat in the front row with ‘Delaney Out’ spelled on their t-shirts.

It’s just a shame for John that the ball wasn’t just constantly in the Gibraltar net.
