Example script:
Hi there, I'm calling with a message for FAI President David Courrell and the rest of the FAI leadership. I'm absolutely disgusted that the FAI is planning to go ahead with the UEFA Nations League games against israel.
The game should not be played in a neutral venue, behind closed doors or in any other way. The game should be cancelled. End of story.
The Irish football team represents the people of Ireland. We are appalled by Israel's genocidal war crimes and the FAI should not be giving them the legitimacy they crave by playing football with them.
I've always supported the Irish football team but I cannot support this and will never forgive the FAI if the game goes ahead in any way.
I will never buy another match ticket, jersey or scarf if the FAI drags our nation into disgrace by playing Israel.
