Massive result for Jim Crawford and the u21’s - some turn around in the qualifiers, nearly looking doomed - however MASSIVE missed opportunity to put the biggest game in recent u21 history behind a paywall

Incredible scenes at Heimir Hallgrimsson's press conference this morning, which came to an abrupt end when it was disrupted by an Israeli journalist making bizarre and unfounded allegations against Irish players.

"The week went as well could be expected, in the face of, I would say, unprecendeted coverage and the way some people conducted themselves..." "I don't know what [the sanctions] are" FAI President Paul Cooke talks to the press after a turbulent weekend for Irish Football which culminated in the Republic of Ireland playing Israel in Debrecen and winning 3-0

It’s taken a lot for them to be here” Really?!
Our Sports Reporter Ann-Marie Keegan asks Heimir Hallgrímsson how he and the ROI players are feeling ahead of tonight's Ireland V Israel game.  He said there are "a lot of emotions" going on and that the chaotic buildup to it "has tested them as individuals".  #VMSport

Crazy
Under further questioning about the situation with Gavin Bazunu - Heimir Hallgrimsson said that he only spoke with outfield players before the camp. FAI faced questions about their process and it was eventually clarified Bazunu was not spoken to during that either

It's also remarkable how the FAI can keep making themselves look worse in a post Delaney era - The association are Irish Footballs problem child
This whole thing was a mess - A PR disasterclass for the FAI (Again)

David Courell’s position at the FAI will surely be untenable after this - the players should not be in the position the association have left them in

Developments with Ireland: My understanding is that Gavin Bazunu has indicated that he doesn't want to play in the game - a view expressed in meeting last night. And there are other players now deliberating over coming with him. Training delayed.

Training - due to start in 15 mins - postponed too. Following mtg with FAI chief executive last night at team hotel, players holding their own meeting now. This will only proceed on their terms.

Press conference postponed by FAI. UEFA say they have just been informed. A developing situation…

DID YOU KNOW: In 1999, Ireland refused Yugoslavia’s team entry to Dublin, preventing their match in protest against the Serbian regime’s crimes in Kosovo. We will never forget your solidarity. Much love & respect to the Irish people — you’ll always be welcome in Kosovo! ❤️🇮🇪🇽🇰

Love the community note on this🤣
We have contributed to the world and humanity in countless fields, earning an impressive number of Nobel Prizes along the way. Unfortunately, we have not yet found a cure for stupidity, ignorance and hypocrisy displayed by @IrelandFootball team coach. We’re not playing with ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity, We’re playing against the coach who embodies them.

That’ll show us….🙄
A respected media outlet in Tel Aviv today quoted an unnamed Israeli player as saying they had made their own call not to swap jerseys with the Irish team buff.ly/1aIRyk1
