And the other one is that the IFA, the Israeli Football Association, has failed to demonstrate an effective, enforced anti-racism policy consistent with UEFA requirements.

So here is Joanna Byrne, who was on off the ball last night, ahead of putting the stop the game motion to the doll.

So that was John O'Brien speaking on Off the Ball to Own.

Last night that motion was put to the government yesterday in front of the Dáil and it was opposed by the government for the games not to take place at all.

So it looks like if this game is to be boycotted, it's going to fall on the players.

And as we heard from Seamus Coleman last week, he said it's a very difficult position to be in.

He doesn't believe it should have led to that.

Jamie McGrath told us that.

We obviously saw this before with the Irish basketball team when they were drawn to play Israel.

And as you said, the powers that be said that that game would be boycotted.

Five players boycotted that game anonymously.

And it looks like...

This debate is going to rumble on for many months and many, many, many more months until the game and potentially after the game as well.

So we'll have plenty more time to talk about that along the way.

is out this morning if you want all in-depth reaction to both games so I was there in Parc y Cuivre on a Friday night weather looked unbelievable a pretty special night not so special for my health with the weather I'm getting battered in the rain along the banks of the Lee but like what a night it was like it felt like that playoff against Scotland again and not just because it was Amber Barrett it just had that like feeling of a country getting behind it and you felt that swell kind of come into the game

on Tuesday I was getting texts off people who you know wouldn't really have any interest in watching Karl Ward's side and they were like had done up all the homework knew all the facts about everything and you were like this is brilliant this is exactly what that team deserved because I think up until maybe the Netherlands game their qualification campaign had gone under the radar like no team had ever been promoted to League A and won two games they did that with the back-to-back win over Poland

To finish on nine points as a promoted team, they finish in the top 10 teams in UEFA, which is a really confusing qualification playoff campaign.

It means they don't have to enter the Intercontinental playoff at the end of it.

They will have two rounds of playoffs, one against a League C team, and then the second would be against either a top League B team or one of the relegated League A teams, so you could face Poland again.

could face Scotland could face Wales who obviously we have bad memories of with the European Championships but revenge could be on the cards there but a really brilliant campaign from Karl Ward's side across League A as I said if you want full reaction to that you can listen to the Koiki podcast wherever you get your podcasts in your feed now the same night as Parc y Cuif we had a well a pretty pretty miserable fixture wasn't it playing a not in the sense of the results but in the sense of
