Do those ladies soccer teams get paid? I mean the girls who played in the Spots Direct FAI Cup final yesterday.

I read that some of them play Gaelic Football for their counties as well.

How does all that work?

Think the league is amateur. The league in England and I believe Scotland are professional.

I suppose like a good junior soccer player, they might get a few Euros thrown at them for expenses.

Ireland vs Israel basketball match on this link.

Crowd seem to have boycotted it anyway.

Behind closed doors

A bit like Israeli genocide itself

Israel look very good, not sure if the Irish girls who refused to play were stars or not, but thereā€™s a huge gulf here,
Keeping an eye until the end to see if there is any sneaky handshakes, itā€™d be very hard to ignore after a sporting contest

Ireland should not have played. Shame on them and on the players. Like playing in South Africa in apartheid, only worse.

We need an Irish indie band to release an album entitled ā€œWe Hate You Israeli Bastardsā€ to regain some of our moral credibility as a nation.

Sadly not as simple apartheid

Threatened with 5 years expulsion from FIBA competition, an entire generation of players could have missed out

Well thatā€™s ok then.
Bomb away lads.

It is every bit as simple. Shame on them.

Jesus :man_shrugging:

Incorrect. Far from that. I know some close to the side and they were in an awful position. Give up their international basketball careers for some meaningless gesture. I wouldnt wish that on the girls, its simply unfair to expect that of them for such a hollow move.
