Today : Ireland press conference in Serbia cut short after F

Ireland press conference in Serbia cut short after FAI shut down questions from Israeli media related to the flydubai hijack, and then a racism allegation directed at an Irish player which has been strongly refuted by the FAI. Some angry scenes in the room and afterwards.

Shocking and unbelievable / good job this was not in Israel thank fully in Serbia.

Otherwise He would be locked up or kidnapped and put in Jail for years without a Trial like they do with innocent Palestinians.


What had this got to do with Fooyball?


Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson denies involvement in recent plane hijacking amid intense questioning from Israeli journalists at the press conference.

Everyone heard the racist chants from Israeli fans towards an Irish player, and now comes the predictable attempt to cast themselves as the victims.


Israeli press conference begins with their staff explaining the focus at the beginning will be on questions from Israeli journalists because 'they didn’t get much chance to ask questions in the Irish press conference and have many questions unanswered.

Sums Israel up in a nutshell.

Their fans racially abused an Irish player so their media’s immediate reaction is to make up unfounded allegations against Irish players so they can play the victims.

Israeli fans chant IDF IDF and racially abuse an Irish black player.

Israeli media now make up a total lie that an Irish player really abused an Israeli out of thin air.

A senior official in their government backs it up

They're demonic and lie and slaughter for fun

I just watched it again and again Allan,

It’s beyond belief they asked about the plane full of Israelis in the Press Conference.

Shocking as usual

I am Still baffled why Israeli journos were asking the Ireland Team Manager questions about an alleged plane hijacking before they had to move the press conference due to the Israeli behaviour

The idf soldier in Israeli team (soloman) as been mouthing off again! He said Ireland hates them and that they don't like them? Also said if he said what he felt he would be banned! Ffs feel sorry for west ham having to probably play down the reaction he's likely to bring to himself and club as this is not 1st time he's mouthed off did it before his transfer.... Will he recieve a warm welcome from away fans that is the question?

Ireland 1-0 up against Israel at half time. Moylan started, Bagan on the bench.

Dam 1-1 now

It was reported that one of the backroom staff was spat on by an Israeli.... it could be heared on microphone Irish staff saying he spat on me!...... according to Irish coach Israeli players tried intimidating his players all evening and says the team shouldn't have been put into that position .....presumably he means they should have been kicked out like Russia?

Latest:

UEFA are investigating israel for their disgraceful, disgusting conduct vs Ireland

Investigations are being opened in relation to them allegedly spitting at Irish staff and their fans racially abusing Irish players

They forced a chief constable to resign after banning tel aviv supporters think these games against Ireland show he was correct ...

Load of silly bias nonsense from all of you.
Irish players wouldn't shake hands, word black armbands and I can't remember England being banned when their game in Dublin was abandoned.Just because your a footballer doesn't mean you agree with your government. Perhaps Welsh players should have dropped out when Thatcher was prime minister.Perhaps now if you don't agree with the sende d about independence you should tell Craig you're packing in.
Stop being anti semitic

? Very confusing statement? Countries wanted Israel banned for their actions in gaza the same as Russia was for invading Ukrain thats it .... refusal of shaking hands as been going on since Russia invaded Ukraine by Ukraine sportsman facing Russian or Belarus sports people seeing as Israel won't get banned nothing stopping teams individuals from making a protest like Irish did? Must remember Ireland one of the most fierce critics of Israel ... Irish players took a vote they played the games but what did they get for it? abuse in both games by Israeli players and press .... as for antisemitic mmmmm criticising a country is not being anything other than showing your disapproval of their actions calling it antisemitic is using the Israeli victim card trick! Anyway games are gone and they are now irrelevant.
