There is always room for the bully boy when it comes to soccer in Ireland,and thats from grass roots right to the top,,Kids still togging out in containers while the CEO of IFA is on a huge salary with perks.
Why is it at most lge of Ireland clubs that the board are nearly always the ones to drop the team in the gutter either by non payment of wages or late payment , players offered late contracts or treated very poorly in a non professional way , and yet they expect players to be professional . A lot of snakes or back stabbers looking for to be respected ?
Enjoyed that article, best of luck to you Brian
