Welcome to our new “FAI - Friends of Israel” football sticker collection.
You can collect all 17 stickers featuring key FAI people that we know are using our national men’s team to whitewash genocide!
You can even swap with your friends to complete your collection! It’s like Italia ’90 sticker-collecting all over again, just with genocide and dead babies as the background thanks to the FAI.
And this is going to be a difficult one for all Irish international football supporters, it was for us. A hero to zero.
Today it's sticker No 9 !
Meet Pa**ie Bonner, FAI board member, Genocide Sportswasher, famous for THAT penalty save n Italia 90. (For those under 40, he was a goalie back in the day).
Pa**ie "argued passionately" at the recent EGM that we should play Israel. This may seem odd, given his Celtic past. But Celtic fans we spoke to said that shaking Thatcher's hand in 1988, while they were waving red cards at her, finished him in their eyes.
Despite the hunger strikes and miners strikes ! The joke at Celtic ? He was an 'Uncle Tim'.
From 2003 to 2010, when he was FAI Technical Director, our men failed to qualify for a single competition. Women’s football fared worse. In 2006, there's 12,500 female players to 450,000 males. 1,200 fans at Ireland v Germany. In 2010, there's still no Women's National League, but one is launched within a year of his departure. His cumulative pay during these Delaney years ? Over €1million.
In 2008, the FAI brought in a Dutch coach as High Performance Director, The joke was that if he was High Performance Director, did that make Pa**ie the Low Performance Director ? Two years later, Pa**ie was angry to be let go, just like the 25% layoffs under his board ! He soon got a UEFA job.
Bizarrely, after decades inside the establishment among the FAI suits, Bonner then returned in 2021, as an 'Independent Director'. Independent of who, exactly ?
This era hasn't gone much better: the oversight failures of the Jonathan Hill financial scandal and the Girls in Green abuse scandal, phoning in to a Dail committee, the eight months to find a new manager, the Indo highlighting in 2025 how low his standing is among the LOI clubs and how rarely he is in Ireland, that he is thought out of touch.
He keeps working for UEFA, despite the Israeli settler teams.
And now, during a genocide, despite ethnic cleansing, torture and war crimes, deliberate starvation, r**e and mass murder, Pa**ie speaks up for playing apartheid Israel and the need to qualify.
FAI contact information has told us that Pa**ie Bonner has a well documented history of working with Israeli coaches in his paid UEFA role.
And by digging a little we were able to find coach-education programmes involving Israeli Pro Licence students and Pa**ie in 2013, 2021 and 2024, there may be more ?
While searches inform us that while Pa**ie was involved in 2021, the Israeli delegation was managed by Boaz Shapiro, who was the then Israel FA Head of Coach Education, who had previously served as an IDF tank commander. This programme was held on line due to international covid travel restrictions.
But the 2024 exchange was held with coaches from four countries at EUFA headquarters in Switzerland.
In 2024, the world witnessed some of the most intense months of the Genocide in Gaza.
As Pa**ie and the Israeli coaches gathered in Nyon on 18 March, the IDF launched a horrific attack on Al-Shifa Hospital, despite hospitals being specially protected under the Geneva Convention.
The WHO reported 21 hospital patients died during the siege, while Gaza authorities reported more than 400 Palestinians killed in and around the hospital.
We can only ponder how this atrocity was dealt with over breakfast the next morning in neutral Switzerland ?
