Why did Republic of Ireland fans throw tennis balls onto the pitch against Georgia during Euro 2020 qualifier?
Republic of Ireland fans showed their displeasure at John Delaney by throwing around 30-40 tennis balls onto the pitch on Tuesday night.During Mick McCarthy’s second homecoming at the Aviva Stadium, some fans decided to show their anger at Delaney’s appointment as FAI executive vice president.John Delaney in attendance at the Aviva Stadium1

More than a week ago, the former vice president of the Olympic Council of Ireland came under intense scrutiny after reports he had provided a 100,000 cheque to the FAI in April 2017.The 51-year-old claimed loaned his employers the money “to aid a very short-term cash flow issue”.Further revelations in the Sunday Times claim Delaney was receiving 3,000 a month from his employers in rent for his house.And fans were clearly infuriated at the fact the Waterford-born official is still in a position of such high authority. After Robbie Brady was cynically brought down past the half-hour mark, fans launched the balls onto the pitch to cause a brief delay.However, Conor Hourihane stepped up and curled the 20-yard free-kick around the wall and into the net for his first international goal to give the hosts a deserved lead.
