In the week that John Delaney made more headlines than should be possible for someone who sits in an office in Abbotstown, all it takes is a tweet from Sepp Blatter to remind us that the FAI chief is not the most despised football administrator in the world.
You'd think Blatter would have realised at this stage that there is no amount of spin or PR that could possibly make him seem anyway less than the benevolent dictator he is but it seems not. What better way to bring across your wholesome entirely pop culture relevant side than tweeting happy birthday to Tina Turner. Granted, he probably has someone to do it for him but nonetheless you have to to question why anyone felt it was necessary for Sepp Blatter to publicly wish Tina Turner happy birthday.
Very best wishes to fellow Swiss citizen Tina Turner on your birthday today. Many happy returns!

The response to his well-wishes was both bemused and aggressive at the same time.
