Niall Quinn: Ireland 'sold a pup' by Uefa

'When you look at the sustainability of all this, the problem is how long it's taking for all those test results to come'

Niall Quinn has squared the blame firmly on Uefa after Aaron Connolly and Adam Idah missed out of the crucial Euro 2020 play-off against Slovakia after being deemed close contacts to a Covid-19 case in what ended up being a false positive.

"I can't see how this is an FAI problem," he said, rejecting the notion that the Irish governing body were to blame after the pair missed the play-off defeat after it transpired they sat on the wrong seats on the plane to Bratislava.
