The Football Association of Ireland is at the centre of yet another of its trademark shambles, this time over the family bereavement which has ruled Stephen Ireland out of Wednesday's trip to Prague. Ireland was told by FAI officials shortly after Saturday's 2-2 draw in Slovakia that his maternal grandmother, to whom he is particularly close, had died. It was not until he arrived home to Cheshire that he discovered it was in fact his paternal grandmother who had passed away. In the meantime, the FAI issued a statement that led to the wrong grandmother being named as deceased in several newspapers. "I was up half the night [sorting it out]," sniffed Ireland manager Stan 'Steve' Staunton. "We were given the wrong information. It's his grandmother, we send him our best wishes and that's the end of that."
