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

[Pat McMahon]

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

Nice try Paddy but it doesn’t scan 😉

I've just made the mistake of looking on Xwitter.  Jonny Gould now says Villa are behaving illegally because of discrimination.

I saw his posts too. Is he a genuine person or a troll?

The poor man's George Gavin is how he's best described. He's the sort who could see anti-Semitism in a packet of crisps.

I've eaten loads of packet of crisps, but I do still hate Jews. Fuckin' Jews.

Almost as much as I hate Muslims. Fuckin' Muslims.

And crisps. Fuckin' crisps.

He's OK with Ready Salted, but Smoky Bacon was INVENTED BY THE NAZIS.

Will there be half and half scarfs for this one ?

Mail order only - let me know your size

Which, for the avoidance of doubt, in my professional opinion, is utter bollocks.

Rather than play the fixture at a neutral venue, I wouldn't be against the club making a nonsense of it all and ceding the game to the Israelis.

They've been put in an impossible position by that idiot Starmer and other idiots chiming in.

We don't need the Maccabi mob and Tommy Robinson's gormless crew tormenting local residents, that would be priority number one for me.

As far as the actual football aspect is concerned, taking the group overall, we should still have enough to qualify for the next stages and might benefit from one less game during a busy period.

[Dave]

As previously discussed there's a pretty strong chance we'd be kicked out of the competition and banned from future competitions.

And as cd pointed out, even if we weren't- it just increases the likelihood of them qualifying and us having to play them again. Forfeit then as well?

My hopes are the game goes ahead at Villa Park and we hammer them. I feel their hooligan element is overblown in comparison to other moodier teams we've played thus far (bans/fines/arrests etc) and I think the numbers they would have been allowed to have brought would have been trifling from WMP under differing circumstances.

The attraction for protesters is likely and that complicates. This Tommy Robinson element is annoying, but I assume he's likely subject to a banning order still from his Mig days and likely wouldn't be allowed near Villa Park for those reasons? Perhaps I'm wrong. But they can all fuck off; EDL types  "patriots", sectarian MPs and the lot. Get fucked, all of you. You're not wanted in B6 and get our name out of your corrosive words.

Aspirational but I just hope its business as usual for us match going fans who want to go free of outside noise to watch us on our march to Istanbul in May.

Yup, that’s pretty much where I am.

We were told they are 'moving at pace' to find a way through this. But that was 36 hours ago.
As soon as the decision was made to ban their fans was made, all the main party leaders (apart from The Greens) immediately said it was wrong.
Presumably they are now discussing exactly the issues involved that were discussed here in the days immediately after the draw and are finding it is a little more complicated and nuanced. All that the knee jerk reactions from our political leaders and the consequent media coverage has done is fan the flames making a bad situation worse.

The Bish is yer man, if you want one.

£20 each. Now available in Kosher, Halal, Vegan and gender neutral.

Spoke to a bloke in Bruges last year with the wanker scarfs and he said they make a good £4k a match gross from them. 3 of them had come over to flog them.

[Richard E]

‘Gross’ being very much the operative word.

Fuck me, I'm getting onto Ali Baba right away.
