I DON'T THINK IT'S A SHAMEFUL STATE OF AFFAIRS. CHRIS HAS MADE A PERSONAL DECISION. THERE WILL BE A PROTEST  AROUND THE GROUND AS IT SHOULD BE BUT IT WILL BE FINE. NO WORRIES.

(just looked up to see cap lock but honestly I am not shouting just too lazy to correct it)

I wasn't saying that it was a shameful state of affairs that Chris has made that decision.  It's a shameful state of affairs that Villa fans feel that they can't go to a game at Villa Park that many have already paid money for.

Everyone perceives situations differently and that’s ok, so say it’s shameful overall is irrational IMHO.

Birmingham City Council saying it has no idea of how many schools are shutting early sums up them being a complete shower of shit.

Why? These things are left to the Head teacher make a decision based on prevailing local conditions.

How would you describe a situation where Villa fans, many of who have paid for a ticket for the match, feel they can't go to a game at Villa Park because of concerns for their own safety?

Is it not the case that if they come under local authority control they would have to inform them anymore?

The chief executive of Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv says it is "incredibly sad" away fans have been banned from his side's Europa League match at Aston Villa.

"It’s really just not fair that we didn’t accept our allocation of tickets for our treasured and violent  fans, to follow our Middle Eastern football team, in representing a genocidal state to sports wash in European competition a multi decade apartheid.” Jack Angelides told BBC Sport.

Oh do f*ck off Jack.
