Anyway, from an Irish point of view, the only ones losing out by not going to Israel is our National team!! They need our Support too. They play for their country with pride, after all they are going there to play. National Teams/fans in Sport are representative of the people not governments,terroists etc (and their agenda’s).
We the Fans/supports are ambassadors of our country. We are coming to show our goodwill and support to our team , and of course "Drink your country dry and upset the neighbours with our loud singing" and I'm looking forward to it. :)
I believe a ceasefire have been called by Peader. So he is buying the first round for all of us as a peace offering. :D
