The Republic of Ireland women's soccer team are treated like dirt on the sole of the FAI's shoe - that's according to solicitor with the players body, the PFAI, Stuart Gilhooly.
The women's team have lifted the lid on their ongoing row with the FAI.
They're looking for a list of fairly basic demands to be met and they want the PFAI to represent them in talks with the Association but the FAI is refusing to engage.
John Delaney hates the FAI's dirty tracksuits being aired in public. I'd say he's close to point of combustion after that press conference.

One of the most outrageous details to emerge from Tuesday's press conference was the fact that the senior players aren't given their own tracksuits. Instead they have to change out of their tracksuits, often in public toilets, as the tracksuits are also used by underage teams.
"It's humiliating to have to go into a public toilet and change," said women's captain, Emma Byrne.
"I'm a little bit embarassed to be talking about it to be honest. They don't have enough tracksuits and the underage teams have to use those tracksuits too.
"It's litte things like where do you put your clothes that you were wearing. Just stuff like that which is awkward.
"If they want us wearing the same clothes, wearing the badge then give us a tracksuit. It's not that difficult."
The Girls in Green are due to play Slovakia in a friendly on Monday and Stuart Gilhooly says the players may strike.
"It's a situation where that is certainly a possibility that the game will not go ahead," he said.
"We're hopeful that the FAI will react well to this. We're hopeful that they react sensibly and that a strike won't happen.
"The last thing the international womens' team want to do is to not play a football match."
