UNDER THE OLD Football Association of Ireland regime, many people within the game were ostracised for falling out with people in power.
As ex-Ireland boss Brian Kerr — one of those individuals who fell foul of the association — said on Virgin Media last October of the Delaney era: “The 15 years that he was in control were a disaster for Irish football and for the game. What’s a disgrace – as much as his behaviour – was that so many people on the inside that knew the skulduggery that was going on, did nothing about it. They said nothing about it and went along with taking the bonuses that were coming from being a part of that culture – a very poisonous culture that was in the FAI at the time.”
