Personally I was embarrassed by the reaction of the FAI and the majority of fans at the time and am a little embarrassed about this even if every penny went to the FAI it all seems a little grubby.That being said this is Ireland so Delaney will probably be seen as being 'cute' and so fair play to him getting the money by a lot but this being Ireland he could well lose his job,he is on a huge salary and every few months he seems to put his foot in his mouth over something.
The FAI is basically a FIFA lite as Delaney bragged he couldn't be bribed 'not on my salary' but there are all sorts of rumours about how money is spent by and on the upper echelons of the association and how it trickles down.The debt they carry now is over 50 mil which for a country our size is pretty substantial and they don't even pay all of Keane or O Neills wages,theisa and Trap's were funded by a guy called Denis O Brien.It's a farce.

Cannot comment about FAI generally but regarding the FIFA incident there are two ways of looking at it I suppose.

There was nothing FIFA could do about changing the result so offered money compensation in lieu of the error. Presumably this money came out of the sponsor money before theft took place not from a money rich thief within FIFA ? If Irish players were on bonuses to reach certain stages then this should have been distributed to them from that compensation.

However if FAI knew that others were corrupt and used the incident to demand a cut then they are part of the FIFA problem when they accepted the 'hush' money.

There's a further complication: both parties are claiming that it was a loan (I know, my sides are hurting too) specifically for stadium building. At that time, the FAI were involved jointly with the IRFU (who'd generously agreed to share tenure on what was previously their exclusive stadium) in re-developing Lansdowne Rd. If the FAI had an extra €5m, specifically earmarked for the project but withheld it from the rugger buggers...?
 
Lot of people banging on about Platini's close ties with the Qatar bid but I could have sworn there was a certain drunken Scot involved too?

Not sure how that would work. "We won the vote after bribing all of the delegates, but FIFA then awarded it to a country that had paid more, We wuz robbed"
