Damien Duff's resignation doesn't make any sense. At least not if you go by the reasons being advanced for his decision to jump ship and leave Stephen Kenny in the lurch.
We're being told that Duff's departure is prompted by unhappiness about the way the FAI handled complaints from within the Irish camp about the motivational video shown to the team prior to the England game in November.
You may remember that the FAI judged it worthwhile to institute an inquiry into this video's mention of 1916 and Ireland's . . . ahem . . . problematic historical relationship with England. For good measure, someone within the Association leaked news of this inquiry to the media.
