How much was Joe Jordan's handball worth?

And they accepted it?

And they accepted it? Covering their backs maybe?

[surge]

It was unlikely that pursuing it would have lead to anything but a messy legal process and an unsatisfactory outcome so I can see why they didn't but accepting and then not disclosing a payout removes your moral high ground.

Sounds like arse covering from the FAI.

Shame on them for taking it.

Reminded me of this song

shameful act by both parties particularly the Irish. took the money and kept quiet while the supporters were robbed of a world cup by a cheat handling the ball and football administrators scurrying behind the scenes to do a tawdry deal. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/puke.gif
