Former Canadian international Mark Bircham is at the centre of a storm in League of Ireland football.
There are only two games left of the season; Sunday’s showpiece FAI Cup Final and tomorrow night’s promotion/relegation play-off which sees Waterford FC face University College Dublin (UCD).
Of those it’s the latter which concerns Bircham, capped 17 times by Canada at senior international level, who claims he was sacked because he refused to guarantee selection of the owner Richard Forrest’s son.
Bircham made the comments on Talksport after being fired just three days before his former Waterford team were due to face UCD.
