FAI wins battle for Gibson

Monday, 22 October 2007 18:54

It seems Darren Gibson has been cleared to play for the Republic of Ireland.

An FAI delegation met with FIFA in Zurich today to discuss Gibson's future.

The IFA insist that the Derry-born midfielder should not be representing the Republic because he was born in Northern Ireland.

The word from today's meeting is that FIFA will not act retrospectively on such cases, and they will be making an official announcement later in the week.
