    Wearing black armbands in memory of Palestinians killed in Gaza

    Importantly, they themselves said that it was for “all life lost” and not specifically Palestinians in Gaza.

      Unfortunate.

      I was already of the opinion that engaging with the game itself against the Zionist entity was a bad decision.

        It is fairly disappointing.

        Speaking as an Irish football fan. FIFA, UEFA, the Irish Government, the FAI, and lastly the team’s management let us down. They shouldn’t have left it to the actual footballers who generally have the political instincts of sixth formers.

      Sounds like what they did was performative and empty in order to please the capitalists who make money and give them their paychecks, while also trying to look like they care about social issues. We’ve seen this kind of crap with Black Lives Matter in the US in the past.
