OTB Football · #StopTheGame | ‘Government need to make a moral stand here!’ | JOANNA BYRNE TD · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

And in Ireland, we've seen the recent men's senior team.

There was there was protests with tennis balls.

And I believe that was an uncoordinated campaign.

And it was just something that was done for the moment on the day by a group of League of Ireland fans.

It wasn't necessarily illegal.

directed by the Stop the Game campaign group themselves.

But I think as momentum grows, who knows what way the protests would go or will go if the game continues here.

But I personally think that that match would be unplayable.

But I think people have the right to air their views and protest on that and moving that to a neutral venue.

And it takes away people's people's choice in that regard.

Like the issue isn't where the game is played.

The issue is who is participating in the game.

And I think governments need to acknowledge that.

I think the FBI are in an awful position, to be fair to them.

It's the headache fixture that nobody wanted.

They obviously have their own contractual obligations to meet and whatnot.

But I believe there's a role for government to support them and pave a clear roadmap to allow them to do the right thing morally and refuse to play the fixtures.

I guess because of the reports that the game will no longer happen here, reports, no confirmation, the government now have an opportunity to sort of wash their hands of this.

Yeah, I think government were always washing their hands of this.

Initially, government came out and said they supported the game going ahead in Dublin.
