If
@FAIreland choose to play Israel, their board is guilty, their management is guilty, their players who line out are guilty, their sponsors are guilty, and paying fans are guilty. Major cost.
Fuck the points.
Walk away.
It'll again put a spotlight on Israel and what they are, increase pressure on other opponents to man up which moves it to
@UEFA and
@FIFAcom as precedent set and tournament undermined, that moves to other sports and then other areas.
I care deeply about the Irish national team in football. This would destroy that bond and waste an opening to show what we are and stand for.
We aren't winning the Euros (not that would be an excuse) but this would in history make us stand out for standing up. I fear terribly they won't.
