"We shouldn't be playing these games." Brian Kerr explains why he believes Ireland should not be playing Israel in the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures and shares his criticism of the FAI's decision to fulfil the matches #IrelandAM

Brian seems to forget that he was Ireland manager when we played Russia during the Second Chechen War and Israel twice amid the continuing Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Ireland fulfilled all three fixtures. My Father worked very closely with Brian when my father was secretary of Pats and on the FAI senior council and he would be rolling in his grave listening to football becoming so political.

Brian Kerr was the manager of Irelands team when it played Russia during the second Chechen war. He was fine with 50-80k dead civilians and wanton atrocities by Russia.

@IrelandRadar Let’s play Isreal and fuck the talking heads and Jason Knight. Fuck Palestine and their Hamas loving Jew hatred

Kerr took Ireland to play Israel in Tel Aviv in 2005, 3 months after 3,000 Palestinians has been killed in the 2nd Intifada. He is never asked about this.

The sun rises in the east, Antarctica is covered in ice, and the Irish support terrorists. Some things never change

”My view is, what's the big deal about losing 6 points?“ A view that Brian kept very close to his chest when interviewing for the Ireland manager's job back in the noughties. But like all firmly-held views, it did eventually out when it became apparent that losing six points wasn't really all that big a deal for Brian. He was sacked by 2005 after having qualified for nothing. Sidebar: Brian Kerr a Manager brought the Irish international senior team to Tel Aviv at a time when Israel occupyed Gaza. The geopolitics only tends to leech out of these guys when they've no longer any skin in the game.

A reminder that Brian Kerr managed Ireland when we played Russia, just after the Chechen war broke out. He didn't say a word.

There is a serious psychosis in this country. We have so many problems and our inept leaders or opposition can't fix them. Instead they focus on a conflict that has nothing to do with us, that they have no real understanding of while the country slowly rots from within.

Because Ireland has such a glorious history of moral superiority when it comes to which National Teams they’ll play, where they play those matches, & what gestures they’ll perform (at the instruction of the Irish government) to show respect for the other team PS this was the SECOND time the Irish National team played the Nazis. First in 1936 then in 1939. So spare us all your BS moral outrage. These games from 90 years ago & the decision to perform the Nazi salute are what Ireland ought to ashamed about in 2026

Did he feel the same way about the Taliban last month?

The majority of the people do want the games to be played so stop with all the bullshit. Funny how the media won’t interview people that do want the game to go ahead, always the loud minority

Fukn hell does he not want Ireland to have any chance to qualify. Shit manager. Fuck hamas

Kerr is a hypocrite, when he “managed” Ireland we played Israel twice ( didn’t win either one ) at that time Israel was governing Gaza and yet he had no issue He’s a bluffer and a spoofer 🇮🇪🇮🇱🇮🇪🇮🇱🇮🇪🇮🇱🇮🇪🇮🇱🇮🇪🇮🇱👏👏👏👏👏

We are the news And who is he to say what happens in our country?

Who was the manager for this game, played when Russia was killing tens of thousands of Chechens? Couldn't have been Brian Kerr, could it? 🤔

I used to like Brian, now I think he's another brainless idiot. Shame

Ireland shouldn't play the games then. Give Israel the 3 points and save the Israeli team the trouble of playing against a nation of racists.

@paulmurphy_TD

Kerr is s coward

Brian Kerr just lost anyone that liked him but gained blue haired people that know nothing about the game

@paulmurphy_TD

brian kerr full of absolute horseshit,nothing to do with him

oh look! 😒

Brian Kerr should mind his own fucking buisness

Neither should Ireland because they suck

Ireland is a ridiculous place at the moment

@IrelandRadar Can you show a bit of balance - plenty of people out there who think the game should be played but they’re getting absolute no airtime because it doesn’t fit the agenda. Journalists and news programmes should be a vessel to host a balanced debate

Brian Kerr would 100% lead out Ireland against Israel if he was still the manager of the Republic of Ireland

Ah Israel. The team that showed Brian's inability to manage at the top level. He always takes the opposing view to the FAI too.

He managed two games against Israel,no morals then

we will take a moral lesson from the only nation to express condolences to the people of Germany on the death of Hitler, which has no problem playing cricket against Afghanistan, and accuses the Arab Israeli who was sent off last niight for representing apartheid?
