A secret Greek ticket tout, £300,000 goes missing, and a 'Night of the Long Knives.' No this isn't Conor's Game of Thrones fan fiction, but the Merriongate scandal which rocked the FAI in 1996. This was the beginning of the Mick McCarthy era of Irish football and a sign of things to come in later FAI corruption charges. Join Conor and Johnny this week as they discuss FAI treasurer Joe Delaney's confusing ticket-selling shenanigans during the 1990 and 1994 World Cup which resulted in the FAI losing £300,000. What makes it even worse is that no one knows where the money went!
