An Israel player was sent off for a celebration as Austria claimed a 3-1 victory in Ireland’s Nations League group.

Sayed Abu Farchi had equalised for Israel when he ran to the corner of the pitch, pulled out the flag and appeared to mimic firing a gun.

Gavin Bazunu's statement on pulling out of tomorrow’s game against apartheid Israel. We salute him, he will go down in history for this, a legend. And we hope more of the players will take such a principled stand. There is still time for the FAI to do the right thing. #StopTheGames

Apartheid Israel has been attacking Palestinian sports and sportspeople for decades. Its illegal incarceration of Natalie Abudayyeh, national team player who graced the pitch at Dalymount against Bohs, is yet one more reason for the FAI to boycott the Nations League yfixtures. #StopTheGames

Yes Kevin Kilbane, this is a historic opportunity for the FAI to show leadership, stand with the Palestinian people and luve up to Ireland’s proud legacy of resistance to apartheid. There is still time to boycott the Nations League games against genocidal Israel. #StopTheGames

There is still time and there is still hope that Ireland pulls out of today's game against apartheid Israel and this demonstration turns into a welcome home. But if the game goes ahead we will be at the Aviva Stadium Thursday to show our solidarity with the Palestinian people #StopTheGames

A former captain of the Palestinian national women's team held without charge or trial and the Irish national men's team is going to play apartheid Israel? The FAI must boycott these games. #StopTheGames

Why is the FAI worried about an unknown, likely exaggerated, punishment from UEFA for doing the right thing and yet the Israeli FA can throw out lies, insults and threats with no consequences? It is unthinkable that Ireland fulfils these games, the FAI must boycott, it's not too late #StopTheGames

There is still time for the FAI to get on the right side of history, refuse to cross the Palestinian picket line and boycott the Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel. Failing that, please join us at the Aviva Stadium from 6.30pm on October 1st for the Austria game. #StopTheGames

Joanna Byrne, TD Sinn Féin, speaking at our protest at the Department of Sport last week where we handed in a letter demanding that Ireland boycotts the Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel. The FAI must not cross the Palestinian picket line. #StopTheGames

So the players caved under threat of losing their livelihoods by their agents. The whole thing is so badly handled. Bully boy US/Israel and their allies have made the Irish football team tug the forelock and take the Zionist soup. #stopthegames

The FAI and all workers must pull out of the games against apartheid Israel. This is the moment to stand with Palestine, to be on the right side of history. #StopTheGames

Strong letter in yesterday's Irish Times, there is still time for the FAI to refuse to play the Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel, we cannot participate in the sportswashing of its genocide of Palestinians. #StopTheGames

"KEEP POLITICS OUT OF SPORT!" they scream at us, while denying visas for fans, referees, and players they don't like.

Enough talking, the FAI still has time to get on the right side of history, refuse to cross the Palestinian picket line, and boycott the Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel. This is an opportunity to show courage and leadership, to make us proud, they must take it. #StopTheGames

Everything about these games shows how wrong it is that they are going ahead. The home game can't be played here, Irish fans aren't allowed to attend either match, and RTÉ workers and other journalists want no part in them. The message to the FAI is clear, they must #StopTheGames

Excellent article. The FAI should show leadership, stand with the Palestinian people as they try to survive genocide, and refuse to play apartheid Israel. #StopTheGames
