@McDonnellDan They like previous FAs let down by their government
Coach & players torn at the seam due to being totally illequipped. A media focusing their ire on a defunct FAI, citizens not listened to & taking their anger out on players for not being a squad of Mandelas. At least we'd one💚

@McDonnellDan 2/3
In the end its left to a sporting organisation to try navigate a huge political issue. They've proven themselves incapable of managing grass roots and professi I nal football, who in their right mind ever thought they could manage this. I have little love for the FAI but...

@IrelandRadar @offtheball The true architects of this get no focus, UEFA.
Everything transpires from their lack of intervention.
These games should never have gone ahead. 16 other nations before us had the same opportunity & failed too. Government's failed to intervene. Sanctions for doing so, so be it!!

@jimmyjoycelad @Barrymurph "Almost certainly have been massive financial and sporting implications."
Yep, thats blindingly fucking obvious too.
History has shown that fighting for any worthwhile cause always results in consequences designed to deter and control. You're just not willing to pay the price

@pyjamas_black From what I've seen and heard this week I wouldn't be surprised if the lad wasn't even consulted when put down as 3rd choice keeper!

[TheOnlyRayintheVillage @RayCourtmac]

@IFBMedia Another example of the inept FAI. Chose a young up and coming player with minimal influence in the squad to take the heat. They didnt call up another keeper, why? Because no one else would join that disgrace of a shitshow

@seidodge The most ridiculous press conference since the Troika bailout denial 🙈😂

[TheOnlyRayintheVillage @RayCourtmac]

@garrethmcdaid No bullying, just the vast majority of the nation expressing their wish that the game doesn't go ahead in their name.
Are you bullying them to play the game or simply expressing your view that it should go ahead but your voice isn't resonating due to being in the minority?

[TheOnlyRayintheVillage @RayCourtmac]

@IrelandRadar Players out of their depth and panicking/splitting.
A reminder that sports people are just that and not to be elevated to societal role models. They'll only dissapoint putting their own self interests first. Bazuna is the exception here. A true role model and man of principle ❤️

@navic_ular I was arguing with people on here about using the term 'mob' to characterise those of us opposed to this game being played.
Then mob self appointed judge and jury you come along ffs.
Below average, approaching poor? Guess what, you've passed poor onto piss poor

@abierkhatib The last line is something everyone else involved should read and grasp ❤️

@CoachKnapovic @leylahamed "Teacher" May my children never come across and be infected by you.

@dlLambo Man of the match without a ball ever needing to be kicked ❤️ 🇵🇸🇮🇪

@Vincent_Hogan My god thank you for this tweet. I was looking around asking myself was I the only one thinking this! 🤣🤣

@john_mcguirk There are, by all accounts, 63K on this platform who, in an era with the live broadcasting and documentation of a genocide, decide that they want to listen to *this* guff voluntarily.

[TheOnlyRayintheVillage @RayCourtmac]

@OdohertyI64991 So anyone who disagrees with Ian O'Doherty is "The mob"
Right, gotta say being in a "mob" is nowhere near as exciting or dangerous as I thought it'd be.

@OliverKay “the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping program that sport has ever seen”, and b) breaches of financial regulations.
How about
b) “the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful financial doping program that football has ever seen”
Sit better now?
