@BwYws31730 @sport5il Look at you, throwing tantrums and threats left, right, and centre because you couldn't defend your own spin.

@DaveyPicture Setting aside the strawman, which you're using to invent a debate nobody's having, this is transparent PR deflection. If the claim had any actual weight, it would have been formally reported instead of weaponised against footage of fan abuse.

@leylahamed Not a single acknowledgement from the Israeli FA or its media about the clear racist abuse captured on video in the first game, yet when they need to deflect, they make unsubstantiated claims against Irish players that were never reported or backed up by the team management.

@Alan__Shatter Utter nonsense, Alan. I can’t find similar statements from other European leaders on this. Why was Ireland uniquely obliged to tweet? If there’s a comparable European precedent, point to it. Otherwise, this is just another cheap attempt to manufacture a grievance against Ireland.

@mooreholmes24 Christ, here I was thinking they were free to just turn around and walk home whenever they wanted. Turns out they're being held captive. Let them home, lads 🍊 #Drumcree #GarvaghyRoad

@RachelMoiselle @ColinGleesonIT As for "humility" and "endless grandstanding", that's your view, and you're entitled to it, as we all are. Yes, being safe and prosperous is a luxury. But it should never stop our overnment or our people from holding the FAI, or anyone else, for that matter, to account (3/3)

[Steve O @Ste0D]

@RachelMoiselle @ColinGleesonIT Then there's your McCarthy comparison. McCarthy went after people's loyalty. The TD in your clip asked where the leadership was, which is a fair question about how the FAI handled a decision. Even its own CEO told the committee the FAI would own it. (2/3)

@RachelMoiselle @ColinGleesonIT The hearing may seem banal by comparison, but most governance is. The FAI is state funded with a less than stellar record, so its handling of the squad deserves legitimate scrutiny. Israel's security and our defence budget don't change that. Linking all three is a non sequitur.

[Steve O @Ste0D]

@RachelMoiselle @ColinGleesonIT A juxtaposition only works when the two things are genuinely connected. The committee's agenda covered safeguarding, governance and funding, with the Israel match one item among several. None of it relates to events thousands of miles away. So what was the comparison really for?
