An online tennis ball game inspired by the protest during the John Delaney scandal has gone viral.
The popular computer game, where players throw tennis balls at the former FAI CEO’s head, has been played over a million times within 24 hours.
Software expert Simon Darcy made the game after Tuesday night’s protest which took place at the Republic of Ireland’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Georgia in the Aviva Stadium.
Some fans showed their disgust at the much publicised FAI scandal by throwing tennis balls onto the pitch - which disrupted play for around three minutes in the first half.
Darcy said he was shocked by the rapid craze the game has created.
He said: "My phone was hopping all day with people texting me about the game.
"From using Google Analytics I know that the website I have the game on has been accessed up to 100,000 times so it's likely that the game has been played millions of times."
He told the Irish Star: "If I knew it was going to be so popular I would have added more levels to it."
European football’s governing body UEFA has announced this morning that they will be charging the Republic of Ireland over the demonstration, with disciplinary proceedings taking place on the 16th of May.
