Sporting bodies as a whole have been spineless regards Israel, South Africa during Apartheid and Russia after the Ukraine invasion were treated alot different.

What a disaster of a draw for kids who just want to go and watch Ireland play. Division to the maximum now and all the good taken out of it. Modern life is rubbish.
No national association should be facing this situation, bodies running the game should have shown some backbone a long yime ago but with the likes of Infantino what else would you expect.

I wouldnāt be surprised if the Gardai say the game canāt be played here and itās moved to Brentfordās ground or somewhere.
I trust we wonāt fly their flag or play the anthem
Mehole is an awful drink of water all the same. āAn act of solidarityā was how he described Irelandās withdrawal from the Eurovision yet he reckons the soccer match should go ahead. āHere are my principles, if you donāt like them Iāve got othersā.

Itās all about the coin. Not entering Eurovision probably saves money. Pulling out of the Israel game will end up costing a ball of money.

Martin isnāt turning up in the White House next month having to field questions as to why Ireland arenāt playing Israel in a game off soccer.
Is this @Tassotti
Iām pretty sure heās on boards.ie, there was a pro Israeli fella there from Clare.
I was in school with the guy. Sad to see the path heās chosen

There were always attention seeking cunts like this. They used to be confined to College Debating societies but now they have the whole internet to make a spectacle of themselves.

Could the players show a bit of balls and tell the FAI that they wonāt play. Down tools. Theyāre all well paid at their clubs anyway.
Like fuck they will. They dont wanna touch this with a barge pole.
Russia and Belarus have been cleared to compete in the Paralympics coming up.
If theyāre not kicking out Israel, its hard to see how they can leave Russia out
