Inside a chaotic press conference: Holtz' silence over selecting convicted domestic abuser Gerson Rodrigues speaks volumes

When Ireland last faced Luxembourg in an international friendly, it wasn't just the Del Trotter-type sheepskin coat which made their manager stand out, but the battles he fought over the airwaves. Luc Holtz is the second longest-serving international manager in European football, so clearly a man with experience. Before Ireland last visited Luxembourg, he said that Stephen Kenny's team had somehow abandoned their principles and reverted to a 'British' style of play, while after the game – a 3-0 win for Ireland – he hit out at the 'unsporting behaviour of the staff of Ireland' at the final whistle.

Crystal Palace face anxious wait to discover Europa League fate

Crystal Palace face an anxious wait to discover if they can compete in the Europa League next season, with a decision on their fate not expected until late June. Palace held a meeting with UEFA officials last Tuesday to plead their case to be allowed to play in Europe for the first time. Oliver Glasner's team clinched a Europa League spot after they stunned Manchester City to win the FA Cup at Wembley last month - the first major trophy in the club's history. However, talk of a European adventure has proved slightly premature, with Palace required to meet with UEFA's club financial control body (CFCB) to show they do not fall foul of its multi-club ownership rules. John Textor holds a 43 per cent stake in Palace through his company Eagle Football, while he is also the owner of French club Lyon, who qualified for the Europa League with a sixth-placed Ligue 1 finish. After Tuesday's meeting, the CFCB is not expected to make a decision until the end of June, PA understands. No individual is allowed to have a significant say in the running of two clubs competing in the same UEFA competition and the CFCB would have to make a ruling on any potential breach. It's understood Palace are confident no rules have been breached owing to the fact Textor - through Eagle Football - has only a 25% share of voting rights alongside fellow principal owners Josh Harris, David Blitzer and chairman Steve Parish. Parish is also responsible for the day-to-day running of the club, which has led to past tension with Textor, who had previously tried to sell his shares and take over Everton. Given Palace believe they have no influence over Lyon and Eagle Football does not have decision-making powers at the Premier League outfit because of the voting structure, the club are hopeful of being able to compete in Europe. If Palace fail to convince the CFCB, Lyon would keep their Europa League spot due to a higher league finish. Meanwhile, Brondby, who Blitzer owns, qualified for the Europa Conference League, which prevents the south London club from dropping into that competition. over their Conference League participation after Danish side Silkeborg IF, who have the same owners as the Louth club, also qualified for the third-tier European competition. Drogheda United statement read: "UEFA's regulations regarding multi-club ownership and participation in UEFA Club Competitions require careful consideration, and the club has been working proactively with the relevant authorities. "At this time, due to the confidential and ongoing nature of the process, Drogheda United is unable to provide further comment. However, the club remains committed to transparency and will provide updates as soon as there are any significant developments to share."
