Ireland vs Israel - To play or not to play, that is the question Read OP for Mod Warning

You stated like it was fact that the "vast majority of people in the country", another one of your posts which has been completely debunked like your lets play Celtic nonsense. Its 50%-46%. Not exactly a compelling result one way or another.

Now Your trying to find another angle to suit your agenda because your grand statement was BS. Your statement was utter garbage, time to put the big boy pants on and apologise for getting it so badly wrong.

The people in this country consider immigration, cost of living, housing, healthcare etc as a far bigger priority then anything going on in Israel which is equally telling.

Have you anything to back up these claims or is this just more of your total nonsense?

You dont know the extent of my involvement in football in this country so you have no right to make any nonsense statement about me.

The FAI signed a Contract with Robbie Keane and honoured it as they should. You are trying to paint one of our greatest ever players in a bad light when he has done ansolutely nothing wrong which is nothing short of pathetic.

Your the one claiming authority. The "vast majority of people in the country" want Ireland to boycott the games, which has been completely debunked. And now you are trying to weasel your way out of it by moving the goal posts. Everyone can see it. Its pathetic. But no surprise coming from you.

Brian Kerr cares so much about Irish football that he lives abroad now and has absolutely no involvement in the sport here now bar as an occasional TV pundit.

And no, you dont know my involvement, past and present. So stop making definitive statements about it please.

Israel/Gaza scored a whole 4% on the most recent poll. So the other issues like cost of living, housing, healthcare etc scored far higher. So the plight of the Palestinians is very much a minority issue in this country. Thats reality and its by your own admission oddly enough. You stated 46% is a minority so 4% is a tiny minority. Nobody really actually gives a flying fcuk.

The country is falling apart, murders galore, cost of living out of control, a housing crisis, immigration a disaster, healthcare a disaster, but let's worry about some backwards little sh1thole in the middle east (who treats their own people appallingly BTW) who started a war with Israel and are now getting their asses handed to them on a plate.

Those parties are bringing a motion to Dail Eireann. But nothing can be done with it by government with regard to the FAI as that is political interference. Its a waste of time from those parties when the country has far bigger problems.

The government, Pb4P, Labour, SF are not in government, cannot interfere with the FAI.

The government have backed the FAI decision to fulfil the fixtures because they were asked about it. They know they cannot get involved

They own drogheda united. Its not a sponsorship deal

May 2026, Israel Gaza is very much in the minority of thoughts where Irish people are concerned.

This is not a minority. Its a marginal difference. Most certainly not the VAST MAJORITY you claimed as FACT on behalf of the entire country.
