In a damning verdict, the governing body said Southampton boss Eckhart authorised the spying.

Saints owner Dragan Solak has given his backing to Eckhart in a video message on the club's website.

Our own Owen Sheahan was out and about at Saturday's Champions League final where Arsenal were beaten on penalties by Paris Saint-Germain after a 1-0 draw in Budapest.

He spoke with Clarence Seedorf who won the Champions League with Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan ahead of the game and the Dutchman recalled winning his first title back with Ajax in 1995.

For sure.

Welcome along to Friday's Football Daily, I'm David Wilson.

Coming up today, Ireland beat Qatar, but the Stop the Game protest takes centre stage.

St Patrick's Athletic travel to Talat to take on Shamrock Rovers, but can Stephen Kenny's side take down the champions?

And Argentina name their World Cup squad as Lionel Messi gets ready to play in his sixth tournament.

But first today the Republic of Ireland bet Qatar 1-0 at the Aviva Stadium last night thanks to an early headed goal from Nathan Collins.

Jack Moylan crossed in for the captain to score just after 6 minutes but Hamerhal Grimsonside couldn't add the all important second goal to kill off the game.

Moylan was shown a red card for a high challenge and a Jessam Gabber by Northern Irish referee Jamie Robinson just before the half time break.

Qatar themselves were reduced to 10 men, with sub Al-Muaz Ali being given his marching orders after he tussled with and then felled Jason Malumby off the ball.
