The combined Maccabi thread - now with are you going? poll

[markeeeebeeee2005]

The protests are legitimate and should take place as an Israeli team is visiting is closely associated with the that country's flag. I hope both sides do so in peace and do not obstruct us ordinary fans to do what we want to do, watch a football match. I am looking forward to it and will make my way  into the stadium regardless of whoever I have to walk past/through and whatever is required from me by police and stewards....UTV.

Not really.

They said it was about Maccabi fans specifically, then when they got what they wanted and their fans are no longer coming, they moved the goalposts to something else.

Once Maccabi refused their allocation it should have ended there. Anything after shows the initial uproar was not legitimate.

Not sure who they are but for me it’s about a team and the fans representing a genocidal country not being banned from international competition.

Protests and counter protests are planned, whether you agree with them or not, if they feel strongly enough they should be allowed to peacefully protest.

Wish all the activists, tub thumpers, Dave Sparts and poujadistes would just give it a rest now!

Agree, its a game of football and to be frank, unless you've done the appropriate research into that area of the world and why certain things will never happen (or be allowed to), its probably best leaving your views to yourself whilst hoping that only a game of football happens tonight and that the club doesn't get sucked into an almighty shit show that a lot of the media are praying for.

Ironic really that different religions are turning up to protest outside the stadium where God played his best football between 1989 and 1995.....

Yep Muslims and Jew just need to agree that he is an English born mixed race Irish Catholic.

When they do that all this rucking will stop

The media cannot wait for things to ignite.
The game takes second place for one night only sadly.

Just so I don't get into trouble, is the left side of the Holte Taqiyah or Kippah?

[Sexual Ealing]

I don't think he is a Catholic.

For adjacency to the protest groups as currently proposed the left side of the Holte would be the former and the right side the latter.
For a laugh why not do a half in each?

The (London based) broadcast media outlets are wetting their pants at the thought.

And everyone can reinforce their own opinion of why things did and didn't transpire that way. And tell everyone on Platform Musk and the ToysOutofthePram one set up for those who have gone off Teslas.

[London Villan]

Half and half religious headwear could be the way to go.

As long as the proportions of claret and blue on each side are balanced.

Massive police presence around the ground already.
