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

So you dont know how this works. Thanks for confirming.

How would the Gardai know about where and when the teams, match officials etc are staying unless they liaise with the FAI as the host nation. This stuff doesn't just happen.

Joe MCglue is the FAI chief security officer.

I never said they direct AGS. They would have to request a Garda detail for getting teams and the match officials to and from the stadium.

.

Ireland v North Macedonia 3 months ago. Note the Motorbike gardai clearing the road. How do you think that gets organised? By magic?

.

.

Any proof about your claim that the gardai specifically only advised the FAI about the football match.?

Or are you just a grade A spoofer

I never said the FAI would query AGS about Grafton Street. Where do you pull this nonsense from?

The FAI would have to notify Gardai where away teams, Ireland and the match officials are staying otherwise how do AGS know where to go?

The FAI have obligations to visiting teams as per UEFA rules. Given how outraged some of you are over UEFA not applying rules, I thought you were all experts on them and wouldnt need to be repeatedly pointed out.

There is an official delegation from the visiting FA, a team, backroom staff, match officials which the FAI are responsible for. The FAI have to liaise with Gardai on providing security detail, motorbike escorts etc.

The FAI have a dedicated security expert who a few years ago travelled to eastern europe ahead of an away game when there was protests (armenia) to liaise with the Armenian FA and local police to ensure it was safe for team to travel. Now Joe M Glue is a decent bloke, met him in Tolka park a few times, but i doubt he is au fait with Armenian politics but I would say he met with his Armenian FA counterparts to discuss matters given the Armenian FA have the same responsibilities for their home games.

Thats how it works. The FAI even referenced in its statement about "operational challenges could impact the delivery of a game on home soil". Thats clearly more then just about the football match.

.

.

Well thankfully the FAI are a lot more grown up then you. Irs not upto the Israeli team or the match officials to organise anything. The host association are responsible for staging the game and they are responsible for more then just the football match.

.

.

FAI would also have to provide assistance if requested for Visa applications for visiting teams.

.

Some of the rules the FAI has to follow when staging a game.

.

.

If the Gardai advised against hosting the game, the FAI could very well have a case for an insurance claim if they have an active policy. Especially as having the insurance in place is a competition stipulation.

.

Deflection and whataboutery.

I thought you were an expert on UEFA rules book, but clearly not.
