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

[Exeter 77]

I can now see this game now going ahead behind closed doors. A compromise which will lead to Villa making a substantial loss of earnings claim to someone - no idea who though. UEFA? West Midlands Police? The UK Government?

It would be just our luck for the club to be the fall guys in this situation, when they're the least responsible for this mess.

I don't even understand how it's a practical or fair solution, given that it's not the Villa fans who are the most likely source of trouble.

As I said impose a 3 mile circle no protest within that. Job done get on with the game.

I disagree. I believe we ought to continue to travel until we reach its conclusion.

Very good

Will there be half and half scarfs for this one ?

Bonus points for using the flag of Honduras rather than the flag of Israel.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

There are ******, and then there's special ******.

I wouldn't normally give The Canary the time of day but at least they've done some digging on our newly-established Jewish supporters group.

Aston Villa told their matchday stewards that they did not have to work at the club's Europa League fixture against Maccabi Tel Aviv next month, saying they understood that some "may have concerns".
