You seem a little Rattled?.Originally Posted by alfie sherwood wrote on Fri, 17 July 2015 15:54Maybe the FAW should call off the game against Israel next season and forfeit the points we got against them?Originally Posted by heath/ccfc wrote on Fri, 17 July 2015 15:15Just saying but what's the difference if we go ahead with this?Originally Posted by alfie sherwood wrote on Fri, 17 July 2015 15:05The Israeli international team and it's club sides are not currently barred from European/International competition and as Wales were drawn against them, we have little choice to play them or lose the points. Rock and a hard place etc.Originally Posted by surge wrote on Fri, 17 July 2015 14:56Unless or until Israel and Isareli club sides are suspended from competing on the world stage, it would be a simple and positive gesture on behalf of Cardiff City to withdraw from a (meaningless) friendly. 'Friendlies' such as this indirectly help to normalise and legitimise the behaviour of its government, in my opinion.Originally Posted by Yossi Benayoun wrote on Fri, 17 July 2015 14:28I do appreciate though that the whole sport/politics thing is a complex argument riven with contradictionsOriginally Posted by alfie sherwood wrote on Fri, 17 July 2015 12:11So what you're in fact saying is when there's Euro qualification at stake, then your principles aren't so strong but not so for a "meaningless friendly". Laughable really.Originally Posted by Cardiff Irish wrote on Fri, 17 July 2015 11:54Kiryat Shmona is extremely close the the Lebanon, Syria borders. The people there know a thing or two about rocket attacks from Hezbollah.
