In August 1928, he founded the Eretz Israel Football Association to conform to FIFA's rules. Rules according to which only associations representing states could be members.

The association quickly sought and obtained membership in FIFA in 1929, under the official name of the Palestine Football Association (PFA). This was a diplomatic victory of immense value for the Zionist movement, which managed to secure international recognition for a Jewish-led institution as the official representative of "Palestine," at a time when Jews were a minority in the territory.

Austria is staunchly pro Israel and Kosovo is an American lackey that has sworn its allegiance to Israel.

Give a couple of examples of Ireland being 'the most anti-Semitic country in Europe' outside of us criticising Israel for its actions in Gaza. If what you say is correct, there must be a whole list of incidents and events involving discrimination against Jewish people that you can draw from.

I don't think Israeli fans will be attacked by us. We're not scumbags and we don't have a history of rioting. I certainly hope not, especially if the away fixture is in Israel it could be very dangerous for our fans if they're looking for retribution.

That’s really funny.

I just could not get behind Ireland because their fans might be mean so I am going to support the country whose leader is wanted for crimes against humanity instead.

Would you be opposed to a Republic of Ireland vs Russia friendly international?

It is good news. By Jove!! Freedom of speech, freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association are the cornerstone of a democracy.

On Friday, three judges, led by the president of the king’s bench division, Dame Victoria Sharp, ruled the decision to proscribe the group was unlawful but the ban on the group would remain to give the government time to appeal.

They allowed the challenge on two of four grounds, namely that there was “a very significant interference” with the rights to freedom of speech, freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association and that the then home secretary Yvette Cooper’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action was not consistent with her own policy.

No it is you who continues to be behind the times, around 2 years or so, a genocide happening before your eyes but all you continue to do is shill for the regime committing it.

No, see some of us have morals and don't just "move on" from a genocide that depsite a "ceasefire" hundred of Palesitinians are still dying.

Why do you excuse this genocide and ongoing killing during a "ceasefire"?

I doubt I'll actually get an answer, and just wait for you to come back in a few weeks with some other nonsesne quip and run away. Rinse and repeat.
