Removing Israeli teams from UEFA competitions/Boycotting the Maccabi TA game

[Drummond]

There are plenty of examples of sporting sanctions being put in place as a direct result of what is happening in the world.

We're currently in a situation where The UN has declared that Genocide is being perpetrated by Israel against the people if Gaza. As such Israeli trams should be banned from official competition.

The same rules should of course, be applied in the same way to other countries too.

I would let Israeli teams play (and Russian ones as well, for that matter) but I would ban the fans.

And what would stop their fans turning up anyway?

I'm also pretty sure that "we" (i.e the club) don't have the power to just decide that we're banning a particular set of away supporters.

We could as a club request/recommend it though. It will be a volatile atmosphere no doubt and, due to the nature of the neighbourhood around the ground things could be quite nasty, hope not.

I think I’ve finally found a thread that doesn’t include a post slagging Matty Cash off. Do I win £5?

That prick fucking started it with his golf.

And people will still turn to support them if they want, likewise people that just want to protest about them being here. It's either no ban, or a full ban. That they haven't been banned reflects badly on those that make the decisions imo.

The club doesn't have the power to ban another team of players either. I meant, that's what UEFA etc. should do.

And what would stop their fans turning up anyway?

And doing what?

Not having a ticket doesn't suddenly create a forcefield around the city that stops away fans from turning up.

Yes because at no point in history have some twats ever attacked someone innocent. Especially in football.

Ban away fans (given what happened in Amsterdam last season), put a ring of steel around VP on the night as inevitably they'll be protests and then let individuals decide if they want to go to this or not and what they want to do once inside VP.

I imagine the first 3-4 rows of all stands will be empty as huge risk of pitch invasions which we need to be very careful about.

Isn't this game the night after Bonfire Night aswell? That will be another headache for WMP, don't envy them at all on attempting to control this around the streets.

Would imagine the hefty ticket prices will help people decide to give this a miss if they are wavering.

Yeah, but someone said "Zionists".

I think you're a good old fashioned Jew Hater. In the UEFA thread you called Maccabi fans "sub-human filth" and in this one you said ban Israel "murdering scum" or some such bollocks. You try to justify it all by saying that it's not to do with which sky fairy they worship but where were your outraged posts on October 8th when Hamas started it all murdering innocents by stuffing hand grenades into women's vaginas and kidnapping children and the elderly. There is wrong on both sides but if you attack Israel you will get it paid back many times over because you are a country made up of descendents of a genocide that killed 6 million people in the gas chambers.

So I don't give a fuck if this gets me banned cos I'm sick of this place being stuffed full of fucking moronic postings from racist fascist leftie ****** who only ever see one side of the story.

Cdbearsfan you're a Jew hating fascist . I hope you rot in hell with Hitler and all your other brothers in Jew hating arms.

Funniest rant I’ve read in ages.

I'm sick of people not knowing what a fascist is on here...

15-pages ? Depends how many posts per page user have on their Haitch and Vee settings.

Aitch.*

So we can be against Israel’s policy of legalised murder in Palestine but not think all Jews are subhuman and we who are against Israel aren’t signed up members of the SS right? A very strange thread. African Car Reverser would be confused
