@DanielHussey2 This is brilliant Dan. Thanks for ruining my day

**Updated list**

The last two years for Irish football:

- Sacked Stephen Kenny (Nov '23)
- CEO Jonathan Hill resigns (Apr '24)
- FAI takes 7 months to find a new manager
- 4 friendlies in that time for John O’Shea to audition for the job
- End up hiring their 'first-choice' Heimir Hallgrímsson
- €650k salary
- RTÉ documentary on mistreatment of female players by coaches (Jul '24)
- Colin Healy claims he was dismissed despite verbal reassurances he would be kept on WNT's coaching staff (Dec '24)
- Manage to stay in Nations League B by beating Bulgaria home and away
- Marc Canham resigns (Apr '25)
- Championship players given break from June squad as they'll need to be fresh for next year's World Cup
- 'Summer soccer' plan defeated (Aug '25)
- FAI launches voluntary redundancy programme, which will move towards compulsory job losses as part of restructuring (Aug '25)
- Will Clarke's Academy report reveals glaring issues with current facilities (Aug '25)
- Eileen Gleeson takes legal action against FAI for 'gender discrimination' (Aug '25)
- Play Doherty LB and go 2 goals down at home to Hungary inside the first 15 mins
- Get absolutely battered away to Armenia
- No clear structure on pitch
- Can't defend anymore
- Introduce ineffective long throw-ins because everyone else is doing them
- Players now seem to play better for their clubs than their country, and have done so for a long time
- Have conceded first in 9 of Heimir's 10 competitive games
- Can only buy tickets in three-match bundles until a week or two before
- FAI €43m in debt
- Still only €125k for LOI champions
- €32k for FAI Cup winners (+gate receipts)
- Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne's success in Europe this season is in spite of their governing body

The FAI has failed Irish football.

There are many good people in the organisation who are about to lose their jobs due to the incompetence of top-level management.

Hopefully, last night is rock bottom, but my fear is we're still not even there yet.

Something just has to change.

@DanielHussey2 If you don’t mind me asking, is that lad a mechanic because I think I know him, if it’s not, his absolute doppelgänger works in walkinstown
