Heimir Hallgrímsson Ireland Football Manager

Hold on now, are the other 5 countries that have played Israel since November somehow morally inferior to Ireland.

The anti Israeli hysteria whipped up by the Irish media and opposition is an artificial construct. A paltry 4% in the most recent poll listed it as a priority.


Play the game, let the headbangers have their pointless protests.
Genocide will do that.........or should do that!!

People will always go for domestic issues as priorities unless foreign issues directly affect them. As I pointed out the Russia/Ukraine war is below Gaza even though we have thousands of Ukrainian refugees and it threatens Europe so your point is a bit mute!

I wouldn't mind seeing it get cancelled but I am not actively for it getting cancelled if that makes sense.
 
We were meant to get an announcement on the Israel game today but they've pushed it back till after the women have played France.

I assume it'll just take place outside of Ireland. Win win. The game goes ahead, and our local loonies aren't around to disrupt it.

Its great that Ireland has responded to claims of a problem with antisemitism by being the only country who has played Israel since November that has tabled a parliamentary motion to see the game called off.
