I'm not sure what the best play is for Ireland.

And it's a difficult one for the players to be in because from a football point of view, if they don't play, and Hal Grimson sort of said it, Israel win in that they get six points.

It's not as small as that, but they also get no headaches.

They actually get a bit of sympathy in some quarters of the world then because they've been frozen out.

And if they do play, granted, I get all the arguments of legitimizing things and life going on.

But there's also an opportunity to protest, to wave flags, to unfurl banners.

And I know Ireland are also worried about fines and whatever else to come with it.

But that's also the same situation with them not playing the match at all.

So in a way, if you're actually looking to make a message, and I'm not 100% in either direction, but I do really see the opportunity of the game going ahead as well for people who want to...

The referee was the main character energy of last night's match.

From Portadown.

The worst, like the second, the second worst red card I can remember ever watching in real time.

Like genuinely, that was unbelievable.

What's the worst?

The worst is, and I'm surprised at Jamie Robinson, the worst is David Healy against Wales in 2004, where he scored a goal.

They put them 2-0 up in a World Cup qualifier in Wales, and he gets two yellow cards in a row for a celebration.

One was kicking the corner flag, and the other was waving to his family.

In the same celebration?

He got two yellow cards before the game restarted.

He got sent down the tunnel.
