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

[paul_e]

I don't know what has changed since the draw was made that would mean they should be kicked out now and not before. if anything the situation might be improving 9relatively). Either way if they are stopped from playing we lose money but take the 3 points through non fulfillment of the fixture (if it up to me).

The big thing was the UN report calling their actions genocide, that's been the trigger for loads of complaints, same with the ramp up in calls to block them from other events.

I think Jon is right. However, there's always the chance that UEFA choose to do what FIFA won't just to try and prove a point.

I feel if Villa did cancel this tie from their end it's something we could look back on with pride. But they may not have to, it's a situation that is developing as we speak.

Absolutely.
No way our VP should play host to this team.
Why would you want to go down and watch us play this team?

I go to watch the Villa.
The opposition are an irrelevance.

But I can understand that some might feel differently.
