They were emerging as title rivals to Ferguson’s Manchester United and he was keen for Morgan to move to Old Trafford. Morgan chose Blackburn, signing for the Ewood Park side in 1994. A year later, Blackburn won their one and only Premier League title. But despite training with the league-winning squad, and making the bench for league and European matches, Morgan found himself released – and without a club – almost three years later. It was only weeks before captaining the Ireland Under-20s to a third-place finish in the 1997 World Championships in Malaysia. Put simply, Morgan fell by the wayside as Blackburn – and their Premier League rivals – regularly shunned the promotion of youth in favour of big-money signings. The 19 WHERE HAVE ALL THE IRISH GONE? birth of the Premier League in 1992 ushered in an era of stellar signings, compounded by the Bosman ruling in 1995, which removed obstacles to foreign players playing in England – a double whammy which would change the fortunes of Irish players for ever.

The match took place at the Club’s home ground, Oakwell Stadium (‘the stadium’). 2) During the course of the match – more particularly, during the first half - James McClean (‘JM’) was subjected to abusive and insulting language from individuals within the crowd; in particular, on more than one occasion a number of individuals within the crowd chanted the following at JM: a) ‘Fenian bastard’ b) ‘Irish bastard’ c) ‘Fuck the Pope’ and d) ‘Fuck the IRA’. 3) JM reported that use of abusive and insulting language to the Match Referee during a break in play in the 32nd minute of the match. Although (as we describe further below) that report triggered certain action, the use of abusive and insulting language continued for the remainder of the first half. The abusive and insulting language did not recur in the second half of the match. 4) In this Decision and Written Reasons we refer to the use of abusive and insulting language during the first half of the match as ‘the Chanting’.

  • MAKING a DIFFERENCE the 2019/20 PFA Community Player Engagement Review WELCOME
    MAKING A DIFFERENCE The 2019/20 PFA Community Player Engagement Review WELCOME To the 2019/20 PFA Community Player Engagement Review. The PFA’s Community Department is committed to raising awareness of the extensive work and participation of players in support of community and charitable engagement. We extend our support, guidance and involvement across many diverse areas of activity in Health, Education, Social Inclusion, Sports Participation and Equalities, emphasising our responsibility to make a positive difference in society. As a union we continue to be proactive, continue to raise standards of support to players and encourage greater cooperation from football clubs to adapt their philosophy towards corporate social responsibility. The PFA’s partnerships with the Premier League Charitable Fund, the English Football League Trust and the National League Trust have strengthened once again over the past 12 months. The overarching Code of Practice, to which all Club Community Foundations must adhere, has enabled them to implement a coordinated, structured and focussed approach to community player engagement and embed a sense of social responsibility within all of our players. The player engagement programme during the season has included Club Community Ambassadors in areas of Health, Education, Inclusion and Equalities, recognition of 111 PFA Community Champions at local club level from both the men’s and women’s game, and the continued development of player foundations. See page 7 for a full breakdown of player engagement activities across the season. The 2019/20 campaign is one we will never forget both on and off the pitch. As a result of Covid-19 we have seen the worst public health crisis for a generation, and here in the UK one of the highest casualty rates of the pandemic anywhere in the world.
