“Pack your bags and raid your credit unions,” was the defiant message emerging from FAI sources this morning as it became clear that the sinister organisation’s chief executive, John Delaney, is determined to bring Ireland to World Cup 2010 in South Africa irrespective of FIFA or Sepp Blatter’s wishes.
The Mire has learned from sources embedded deep within the FAI that Delaney and Giovanni Trappatoni are planning a series of pitch invasions during all of France’s games. “We will take the ball. We will take the trophy. We will take the piss,” he said.
Players are to attend a series of World Cup warm up camps where they will learn the principles of passive resistance and be taught how to chain themselves to goalposts.
“Fans can expect a committed performance but there will be some unfamiliar faces in Mr Trappatoni’s team as squad selection will be based on bulk and bloodyminded ignorance,” he added.
