This is disgraceful & ignorant. Oliver had the chance to speak to any of us who were there beside him all night to help explain some of the context and sentiment. He didn’t. Unlike another colleague from the UK who made a point of talking to us, Oliver sat alone and wrote this.
"There was no handshake, no customary exchange of pennants. And once it was finally time for some football, the team wore black armbands designed as a gesture of “recognition of all lives lost in the Gaza conflict”. The messaging was, to put it politely, a mess."

Racist chants allegedly aimed at Adam Idah. “IDF” chants in the stands after the game.
At what point does UEFA actually decide something warrants action?
Because right now, you’d be forgiven for wondering what Israel would have to do for UEFA to intervene.
jew chants “IDF” during Israel’s 3–0 loss to Ireland, saying “We lose at football, but the IDF doesn’t”

🇮🇪 A game pushed to go ahead, then apparent monkey chants towards Adam Idah in a near-empty stadium. Molumby alerted the officials. Nothing.
Apparently, he didn’t use the right word.
Some week to declare “football has won”.

Weeks of protests, boycott calls and debate over whether Ireland should even play Israel.
James Abankwah and Jack Moylan seem to have found a fourth option:
Turn up and absolutely take the piss.
3-0 Ireland. 🇮🇪

De Gea’s already started the recount before the lawyers have finished the paperwork 😭
United fans about to have the most productive evening on Wikipedia in years.

🚨 Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty on 114 of their 115 Premier League charges.
No punishment yet. An appeal is expected.
115 became 114. Now we wait for the number that really matters… 👀

Kerry County Council wants the FAI and IFA to discuss an all-Ireland international team.
Yes, Kerry. One of the counties furthest from the border.
Irish football has been split for over 100 years. Should it still be?

So you can boycott games and pay only a small price for doing the right thing … good to see @JFallonExaminer doing the homework that some should have done when the Nations League draw was made … please retweet and ensure this point gets the audience it deserves …

Home Farm haven’t played LOI football since 1999.
Now: 7 points, 10 goals and a 6-1 win at Mervue.
Could one of Irish football’s great old names be on the way back?

🇮🇪 Ireland has never seen Palestine as some distant issue.
Now the national team is right in the middle of that history.
Two games with Israel. No normal RTÉ coverage. No home game in Dublin. Hallgrímsson asking why Russia is banned.

Great to see a Nicolas Jackson Premier League renaissance 🙌🏼
So much thankless running today, constantly stretching Spurs and causing them an absolute nightmare in behind. Got his goal too. Proper centre-forward shift. ⚡️

Arsenal convincingly beaten by Brighton, then Declan Rice loses his head when it’s gone 😭
For a side desperate to take the next step, that’s not Champions League-winning temperament.🏆
