This is pretty disgusting from an Israeli media personality. Here he calls for attacks on Irish citizens.

Well done to the @irelandfootball.bsky.social , to the management, to @UEFA to Heimir and the team. 3-0 loss means a win for genocide.

There's a video of the Israelis after the match shouting that they didn't care they lost, "the IDF always wins" I've tagged the FAI in it. What will it change.Nothing. What did 3-0 change.Nothing. A moral victory?Black armbands?Kiss your jersey.Who gives a fuck. The biggest loss in Irish football.

Again it should not have gotten this far. This game should have been cancelled months ago. Now everyone is unhappy and it just feels like a missed opportunity to stand for something.

Hallgrimsson being grilled by Israeli journalists about the Irish team in the 1930s... Asking an Icelandic man who wasn't even born then, very intelligent stuff.

it’s quite clear from the questions they’re getting from israeli reporters at this press conference that there was absolutely nothing to gain from bending to accommodate this. genuinely mortifying that they’ve put themselves in this situation where they’re being treated like they pulled out anyhow

Frankly, you can stick your black armbands and your match fee donations up your hole. The Palestinian people and Palestinian football begged you to boycott the games, and you refused to listen to them. Nothing else you do matters.

The burden shouldn't have been on them, but it was, and they bottled it. Useless cunts. Aaron Rowe had a lot more to lose and made the right choice.

well this is one of the worst things i've ever read in my life
The World Trade Center lay in ruins as Jason Carroll and Alex Morcos pushed a borrowed mail cart past police barricades into lower Manhattan’s empty streets and toward the headquarters of proprietary trading startup Tower Research.

Wanting to be ready when markets reopened days after the 2001 attack, the two employees heaped the cart with computer gear, dragged it to Morcos’ car and drove to Long Island, where a broker let them set up temporarily. But even after all that effort, they lost money once prices started moving. Their boss’s dismay helped convince them they would be better off trading on their own.
