Sir, - The FAI's decision not to play the Yugoslav national anthem or to fly the Yugoslav flag at Lansdowne Road this Saturday, if the match goes ahead, is a welcome one. However, what explanation does the FAI have for failing to provide these courtesies to the Northern Ireland team before the Peace International only last week? Are we to believe that these two teams deserve the same level of (dis)respect from our football administrators? - Yours etc., Stephen Ryan,
