I struggled to read it yesterday, not because of the content but because I thought it was poorly written, but I have since reread it and it is an excellent parody piece. I recommend reading it in the key of Partridge.

No. I won't either and I hope we don't qualify. I'd rather Ireland had nothing to do with this competition.

Each to their own, not everyone is happy clappy. People have different moral and ethical standards.

Not if that football field has been built on the blood of innocent men and women. I would much rather we took the moral high ground (imagine the FAI taking the moral high- ground  ) and didn't enter. Entering the qualifying competition is accepting the crimes that are happening as a result of it being given to Qatar. That is far bigger than football.

Of course we are but there has to be a limit to that. It's an extreme example but it is the same logic. Would you want Ireland to qualify and play in a tournament where the hosts explicitly stated that they wouldn't allow black people or women to attend? Using your logic, you might think it's terrible but you're just there to support the team on the pitch. Would you genuinely attend such a tournament?
I wouldn't go as far as the lads, I'll still go the qualifying games but I would want (I know there is no a hope in hell of it happening) that if we qualified the FAI stated they were boycotting the tournament. There is not a fear of me going to Qatar if we qualify.

Once we enter the qualification stages we already have do have something to do with it. I do gert where your coming from though, in an ideal world, all the top countries would boycott it and the qualification stages, but that's never happening. That being said if we did qualify I would certainly watch it and probably travel over, but i understand people's reasons for not travelling. I find it very hard to believe Ireland fans will stay at home and not even switch on there telly to watch the match, what would anybody be gaining from that? The chance to be self righteous? To each their own.

Whilst I agree somewhat, by the same logic you couldn't travel to the vast majority of countries on earth for one reason or another.

That is true and we are all hypocrites to a degree but a line has to be, for most people, drawn somewhere.

It's a tricky one. If there was a widespread boycott, it would make sense to take part in the boycott. For instance, if it was the case that the FAI got 10,000 tickets to each Ireland game in Qatar and there were only 3,000 applications for each one, it would actually mean something not to apply. However, if there were 30,000 applications for each one, and you go to every game generally, then it starts to make a lot less sense not to apply, if it isn't going to make any difference to Qatar. I'm not saying it makes no sense, but it makes a lot less sense. Obviously, then it makes sense from a personal perspective, but if a boycott has no impact on the person being boycotted, it becomes a fairly empty gesture. Boycotts work when they have an effect; a boycott like that would have no effect on Qatar, much as it might make you feel better. It's a matter of numbers.
