The Indo Daily · "It's not about football": Ireland, Israel and a game that can't be won · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

Obviously, it's a contentious game for Ireland and I suppose for Israel as well. matched

But is playing Israel or has playing Israel been contentious for other countries? matched

Dan, our sister podcast Indosport had the FAI CEO David Carell in last week to discuss the upcoming fixture. matched

What have you made of how he and the FAI have handled things up to this point? matched

Dan MacDonald, thank you very much. matched

Dara Nolan, this week you've been covering protests against this fixture. matched

Talk to me a little bit about those protests and how they've manifested so far. matched

And you were there, you were talking to people at the protest. matched

What sort of things were they saying? matched

So some of the fans had their say during that protest at the Castle Knock Hotel. matched

We actually have Vox Pops, which were captured by our Irish independent sports reporter, Sean O'Connor, who was speaking to some of the Irish fans in Kosovo. matched

A selection of the sentiment of some of the Irish fans there, Dara. matched

But given all the protests and the campaigns and I suppose the level of public dissent when it comes to this game and the playing of the game, the government still back the FAI's decision to play the game. matched

So is this kind of seen as the government giving their blessing for the game to go ahead? matched

Or how is it kind of read, do you think, by the public? matched

Darren Olin, thank you very much. matched

I'm Tessa Fleming and today's episode of the IndoDaily was produced by myself and Dave Hanratty, researched by Philip Cowman, recorded by Rory Bowens, with sound design by Adam Shanahan. matched
