@EdOToole1 Huge improvement from the past two games esp the first half but with Reck, Jippo and Conor Foley all going off it was left to inexperienced backs playing against an extra man, I feel pity for them more than anything. They fought to the very very end.

“lsraelis are fleeing Tel Aviv.” Imagine if all the borders were shut and they were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. Since 1948.
