Its really an undeniable fact that boycotts lose almost all of their effectiveness when you go alone. This obviously makes it a very tricky situation for the FAI.

Its not really a surprise that other pro Palestine nations in Europe like Norway and Iceland have played their fixtures with Israel in recent times rather than boycotting. Failed boycotts tend to only benefit whoever is being boycotted.

I don't give a flying fuck. This is football, we don't have to play them. If other countries in UEFA don't have the balls, thats on them.
