Book of Genesis finally closes for FAI

THE Football Association of Ireland yesterday closed the book of Genesis after the Scottish consultants told the Association that all improvements as part of the Genesis World Cup review had been completed.

Genesis the consultancy firm recruited by the FAI to examine their procedures in the wake of the 2002 World Cup when Roy Keane walked out and complaints about a lack of preparation were deafening were asked to examine the progress made by the Association in January of this year.

Their summary was that the FAI should move forward and "draw the line under Genesis 2002."
