Michel Platini (left) and John Delaney at the Aviva in 2015
Of all those that have been either arrested, indicted etc., Michel Platini is the saddest and most depressing: he was a footballer, one of us. https://t.co/We7hUkY146

I still can’t believe they are going ahead with this WC in Qatar. The human rights abuses alone in building the infrastructure should be reason enough.
It stinks, hopefully lots of players will boycott it.
Well, the Irish players will be boycotting it anyway!
Wasn’t FIFA offered $400m in secret bribes by Qatar? Weren’t individual voters for a venue offered $1m each to vote for Qatar.
Michel, my bail
Might nick that, Cool Hand, if you’re OK with that.
Work away, Bodger
I was going to say you found a much better title. Well done, sir!

That’s so brilliant it gave me Galwegian Wood
Love it Hoop!!
Good one..
Yesterday, all my troubles spelled QATAR today…
Oh, How I be dreamin’ of yesterday…
(Delaney deserves the same, along with many other f’n venal traitors in Irish association football)
:-J
The main stream media will not rest until this Quatari World Cup is completely ruined!?! It makes me sick what about all the Emirati grass roots fans, they’ll be gutted, crying into their yellow lamborghinis, drying their tears with the useless tickets they paid 12k each for…And what about all the actual grass roots, irrigated in the desert?!? They’ll just dry up, so sad, a terrible day for football.
Not a flattering pic.
