Hang on a second. If any of us are not showing up for work tomorrow we have to tell our boss.

I am irish and live in Germany.  By playing these games Ireland are achieving far more publicity for the Palistinian cause than otherwise would have been the case.  By playing Ireland have caused these games to hit the headlines in Europe.  By refusung to play no-one would have taken notice.  Their have done so much to raise awereness of the situation in Palestine.  In countries like Austria and Germany there is strong censorship when it comes to reporting about Isreal. The irish team,  the players and the FAI have done so more more than those who are hurling abuse at them, be that from Ireland or Isreal.  it is such a pity that many just don`t want to see that.

Shame on the FAI, the Manager AND THE TEAM! Disgusted with your lack of integrity, character, principles and humanity.

So disappointed in UEFA, FAI and yes, the players. What a chance to make a difference and they bottled it. Not too late though - let's hope they find their courage on sunday.
