How about we play the game of football, with us fans inside who have already purchased tickets because we want to go and let WMP handle 400-500 idiots that want to play up (if that is indeed their intention) how they do best.
Fuck me they handle the derby, they handled the 700 mayonnaise lot the other year, they stopped Celtic getting too big of a hiding; WMP have always been bang up for this sort of baton waving. I'm sure they'll be fine.
"Ring of steel" and "behind closed doors". Fuck me listen to yourselves.
Watching 15 polish ultras throwing plastic bottles of mayo, from the safety of the holte, was the scariest thing I’d seen since watching Bugsy Malone. Not exactly Leeds or Millwall coming to town in the 80s.
As an aside I was driving through Lozells the other day as I do quite often and there are Palestine flags everywhere, makes a change from the flag of St George being force fed.
lots of people feeling strongly enough to have their flags waving, are pretty obviously going to walk a mile down the road, to confront the Tel Aviv supporters and their rep as well as protesting in general about the genocide. Because of the political context and emotiveness, it won’t be like your average football ruck. I think it has the potential to go off in Birmingham that day as well
I’ll probably go to watch villa if its on as thats what i do. I sense UEFA probably will make a decision though.
