Episode 3319: Suleiman Al-Obeid Killed By Israel In Gaza, Ole Downs Bossman
St Pat’s lost 4-1 to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Besiktas in Tallaght last night and Gavin Cooney was there to see it. He talks to us about where it all went wrong for Stephen Kenny’s side.
The Besiktas players wore t-shirts emblazoned with “Stop Crimes Against Humanity” and “Enough Is Enough” before kick-off.
We talk about the killing by Israeli forces of former Palestine international player Suleiman Al-Obeid, and how sport should respond to the atrocities taking place in Gaza.
