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

[Rory]

Could easily have just got the sack at work for being accused of supporting ‘a racist football club’.

Still trying to calm down, but all this has got a way to go yet.

I think I was right when the draw was made and I thought it would be an absolute disaster.

Bloody hell mate.
What an absolute joke and hope you're ok.

Agreed, hope you're okay, Perce.

Letter aren't enough.

Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit them hard and hit them fast with a major; and I mean major; leaflet campaign

You are Arnold J Rimmer and I claim my five pounds...

Give quiche a chance.

The bottom line is that our club did not make this decision. So you could say "nothing to with us mate, take your complaints to WMP and SAG:

Once you get drawn into the wider issues, there is a good chance that you will incur opprobrium in the current political climate. Many people, including doctors and academics, have been suspended or sacked for pro-Palestinian tweets.

Thanks mate. I meant I could easily have been sacked for fighting but managed to control myself, just about.

The government knows that the Israeli ultras will try to start a fight, especially as the ultras know now that they have the British state on their side. So they know that there will be Palestine supporters and Muslim residents who will fight back and can then be demonised. They will have to show this fighting back as otherwise it would be the Israeli ultras rampaging through Aston. And we can't have that. This comes after Robert Jenrick has attacked multicultural Birmingham and when Tommy Robinson is calling for the suppression of Islam in Britain and Farage wants hundreds of thousands of deportations. Starmer is not fanning the flames by what has done he is pouring petrol on the fire.

The locals in Aston are left to face the consequences and our club called racist by the racists.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans not allowed to attend Aston Villa UEFA Europa match due to safety concerns. This is what happened last time the genocidal racist violent hooligans visited Europe.

That is truly gobsmacking and an indication of how reporting is totally twisted to suit a complete lie.

Any further arguments against banning away 'fans'

I am sure large swathes of MTA fans will be genuine and there to cheer their team on and for no other reason. But thus should be clear that, as well as their hooligan element there will be grifters too, like Robinson

I'm afraid that a reversal of the ban will result in a very large I Told You So before 6 Nov is out

This. It is all a piece of engineering by the far right in this country coupled with a PM too full of craven appeasement to do anything about it

That's shit Percy my friend. Just don't raise to the bait, but nut the f*ckers when nobody is watching .

Only joking, how many thick people are there out there (some Villa fans as well) who don't get it that Villa have no say in this decision. Just rise above it mate. 

As I type this at 6.20pm on a Saturday over here it has just come on the news in NZ, these politicians just don't get it.

I said earlier, I’m not sure who hates who anymore.
Since when did far right racists side with ‘the Jews’ ( that’s not meant to be insulting, it’s to make the point).

Proper, good old fashioned racists like the NF or BNP hated Jews as much as they did p@**’s and N@@@@@‘s.

Now they are on the same side ??

It’s all very confusing

That’s the thing - I wouldn’t bet against the same people who hiss at Spurs fans are now angry that MTA fans are banned! The same people who are in the ‘illuminati’ rabbit hole will also be mad at us today. Bullshit makes strange bedfellows.

It's quite simple. The far right have conflated Jews with the fascist regime running Israel right now. They have noted that the current Israeli regime hates brown people as much as they do. Ergo, the Jews must be their allies after all

They have failed to notice that other elements of the far right, e.g. the 30 year olds that JD Vance calls kids, are keeping up the Jew hatred

There is no way the game can go ahead now.

10 names has said he is attending. We know and have seen how his disciples follow him.
Even if he doesn’t turn up (which I suspect he won’t) he has put the spotlight on Villa for his supporters.

And so if even just 50 turn up, why would they be there ? It’s certainly not for football.

And logistically, where are they actually going to go ? They can’t get into the stadium, so what would be their objective ??

Hmmmmmm, I wonder.

Nice one mate. Something something eventually, won’t say more than that. 😉
