So more pressure expected to come on the FAI, not unlike Jarla Burns that we've been talking about.
But David Carell has dug himself into a position of no return.
And in fairness, he has no ability to be grey on the issue.
Obviously, they need to have a clear stance on it, which they have, which is that the games will go ahead.
And I'll do just a bit of a quote here again, just to try and sum this.
This is a quote from David Carell in Dan's piece.
If an EGM is called, we'll respect that, obviously in relation to whether the game should go ahead or not, and we'll facilitate it and we will listen to the viewpoints of our members.
However, the day-to-day responsibilities of the association, fulfilling tournament obligations, etc., that responsibility rests with the board and the executive and we have the requisite experience of leading international federations.
We have the full picture in terms of the broader spectrum of implications if a decision was taken or not.
I hope you're still with me here.
And therefore, we have arrived at our conclusion, and that is we will fulfil these games, and that is not to change.
We listen to people, but the games are happening.
Yeah, and they have done the FAI some quiet work around that, it seems as well.
Danny, he was in Dan's piece here.
He says that he was vague on the detail, David Carell, but suggested that the FAI have reached out to players as to ascertain how they were feeling about it.
Didn't identify individuals, yet there is an awareness, Dan says, that it is a straightforward situation.
Southampton midfielder Finn Azaz, an important player for Hemmer-Halgumson, has Israeli heritage, and he goes on to say that the FAI have also met Katie McCabe to get her input on it.
Like, it's an impossible one, really, for a player to... Like, there might be players within the dressing room who are saying, I ain't playing, I'm not turning up, and they might feel that strongly about it, and they're entitled to do that, of course, but...
Equally, there might be a lot of players, like Kyle was saying, who just feel like, you know, I despise what's going on over there, but I do just, you know, there's a conflict, obviously, around this stuff.
It's just impossible.
