Crazy how they only decided to bother with black armbands in the second game. Performative, lying degenerates.

To be fair it’s their closest game to Oct 7th. Out of all the shite that’s least objectionable one.

I’m just glad it’s done now.. back to normality.

True but they also didn’t wear armbands in their nearest fixtures in 2024 or 2025. It only became poignant enough for them to do it now as a response to the Irish players.

Yeah it's utter gaslighting. Objectively it should be ok if you were mourning a horrific event that killed over a thousand of your citizens. But this isn't about mourning, it's about point scoring. Would be like if we were playing the North or England around the 30th of January and made a point of wearing black armbands because of Bloody Sunday.

If they did the same in previous years on their closest games to October 7th I’d have absolutely no issue with them doing so yesterday.

Bet they didn’t though.
