Jim Crawford has been speaking to the media following the announcement of his squad to face Norway and Italy.
Gavin Cooney reports from FAI HQ REPUBLIC OF IRELAND U21 manager Jim Crawford says he is unaware that Fifa have dropped their investigation into the alleged racist abuse of an Irish player which led to the abandonment of a friendly with Kuwait’s U22s earlier this year.
The PA news agency reported earlier this week that Fifa closed the case due to a lack of evidence, but Irish U21s boss Crawford told the media today that the FAI have not received any communication from Fifa on the matter. “All I can say is we put in a comprehensive complaint about what happened. You only have to look at reactions from players, which was out of character. There was footage sent to Fifa. When that decision is made, perhaps after the window, I’ll have time to let it soak in and comment on in more detail.”
