Ireland coach exits presser over racism allegation

Heimir Hallgrimsson walks out of Saturday's pre-match press conference after an Israeli journalist asks why Irish players allegedly called Israeli players "monkeys" in their last meeting. Ireland won the first match 3-0 in Hungary, wearing black armbands in protest. The teams meet again Sunday in Serbia amid boycott calls in Ireland over the Gaza war. ________________ Sign up for our newsletters: https://linkinbio.jpost.com/newsletters More from The Jerusalem Post: http://www.jpost.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheJerusalemPost Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jerusalem_Post Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejerusalem_post
