What's with the attititude? What's FIFA got to do with it? Would it not be UEFA's call to instruct Israel to move the game as it's a UEFA competition that they're participating in? The stadium in Haifa is as much their national home ground as the one in Jerusalem so how would that be the same as asking Israel to play in neutral venue?

The FAI could request to play somewhere but likewise the Israeli FA could request we play in Turners Cross. It isn't going to happen. If the situation was tense in Jerusalem then UEFA could insist on the game being moved to Tel Aviv or Haifa. However they would be free to use the Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem otherwise. Spain and Belgium have played there recently. We played in Tel Aviv in 2005 but that stadium is considered unlucky I believe and they don't seem to use it any longer. The IFA obviously will ignore SF as does everyone else. This is a centrally contracted friendly as part of UEFA's Nations League. There would be severe penalties if they cancelled.

Sorry, garbled that- I meant to say UEFA are an authority, if not quite global. The FAI asking for a neutral venue (as opposed to Haifa or Tel Aviv) would be similar as both calls would be equally pointless. Israeli FA can play basically where it suits them, the only possibility of their games later this year being moved/ cancelled is if the violence gets much worse over their border, or if FIFA/ UEFA expel Israel. |

They’re not going to do that in a million years though. Nobody gets as exercised as the Shinners do about the behaviour of Israel. The Americans love Israel and Germany feels an obligation to see Israel as a viable nation.

Life's a pitch - Ballymena United will have to play their fixtures away from home until mid-September after their pitch was re-laid ahead of the new season. |

Accusations? Sure wasn’t there footage of the cars going On to the pitch, as well as the tyre marks left afterwards?

Aye they have been accused of doing it in badness rather than someone making a mistake, an accident, someone who didnt know the rules. One of the IC semis there was four inch deep tyre marks about 4/5 metres into the pitch near the middle. Tinpot league as i have said recently.

He's only played one game for NI- the friendly with New Zealand last summer. If fit he should really have gone on the Panama/ Costa Rica jaunt as Hughes and McAuley need replacing now.

IFA have been busy again.
Derry city player Ally Roy could be getting a call-up to the Northern Ireland set-up.
Roy qualifies through his grandparents who hail from Co. Tyrone. |
