Eurovision 2019 - Dare to dream

[Yermon]

Soundy very aggrieved on behalf of his Ruskie comrades.

Oh look - the Zionist is lying again - it’s what Zionists do.

If you checked previously, and only a few posts back, I said that Russia was rightly banned - but typical of you, you ignored what I actually wrote unequivocally and twisted it into the exact opposite.

You are the epitome of Zionist bot

Oh so FIFA must let money drive its “moral compas” - is that the point you’re trying to make?

The World Cup is a big deal my man. Can't me messing around with it, and lot of people would be unhappy if it was disrupted

Apologies dukey, didn't realise they were made play at a neutral venue - though one suspects the visiting teams wouldn't have relished the thoughts of going there.

But on the more relevant point, I take it you do accept that Israel, unlike Russia, were NOT banned from competing? Russia banned by FIFA for invading a country recognised by FIFA. FIFA also recognise Palestine and they've a team that plays in international fixtures, yet FIFA didn't ban Israel who, by any standard, have invaded Palestine.

Double standards much?

i couldn’t give a damn if fifa ban them
or not. it’s been long established that fifa will do what’s best for the brand and close ranks if it goes south.

i've enough happening in my own life to be worrying about the israelis and palestinians.

That's a score for RTE save a few much needed euro and appear to be doing the right thing as well

It'll be interesting to see what other broadcasters do. If enough pull out then I can easily see Israel being turfed out.

The EBU need the coin
