And what I've been struck by, Matt, is that
there's huge support for this amongst ordinary football fans, amongst the ordinary Irish people.
They've had enough of Israel's actions and they are willing to, you know, there could be a cost to this in terms of our football team.
And people understand that.
It's probably overblown a bit, but, you know, we have to make a stand.
And it is interesting that you have people like Brian Clare, you have a number of senior football people, both at League of Ireland and international level,
women's football, who are all saying the same thing.
Irish football supporters as well, a majority of whom back this.
And they do so with their eyes wide open, knowing that there could be consequences.
But this is bigger than football.
Some things are bigger than football.
And what's happening, what Israel is doing to the world at the moment, particularly what it's doing to Gazans, to people in Lebanon and the West Bank, needs a reaction.
And as I said at the start, we have limited levers we can hold.
But anything we can do, we should be trying.
Yeah, I actually, I didn't watch that match and I actually personally boycotted the last World Cup.
Matt, I didn't see a screen of it because of the human rights abuses in Qatar.
You know, your question in terms of the example of the Olympics, I think is an interesting one as well.
I think the difference with this match is it's a one-on-one, it's flagged well in advance match.
You know, we don't know.
You don't know in terms of draws, in terms of who, if it's a swimming event, if it's an athletics event at the Olympics, there are differences there.
