Aston Villa v Young Boys Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Doesn't surprise me.

[olaftab]

Still plenty of nonsense on Twitter about Villa and the SAG in view of the fact some of the YB fans played up inside the stadium last night, after Villa or the SAG had banned you-know-who from coming in the first place.

I know I'm preching to the converted here but it boils my piss when people with an agenda delibarately claim that there was a ban on members of a nation state or of a particular religion when in fact it was a ban on supporters of a particular football club.

Anyway, sorry for the rant.

You are an obvious anti-Semite.😉

What's going on with fan disorder at European games?

Fair play plod. The two from last night are still in custody, which would indicate they're going to be taken seriously.

That article doesn't really say alot apart from English fans ranking highly for behaviour, with only nations with small fan numbers (likes of Faroe Islands, Luxemborg) ranked higher.

Also, more pertinent -

‘Young Boys have regularly been in trouble with Uefa, and only last week the threat of a ban on travelling fans was lifted after a two-year probation expired’ after an incident in Manchester and..

‘In February this year, Young Boys had a suspended partial home stadium closure activated for the lighting of fireworks, with a new and more substantial ground punishment placing them on probation for another two years’

Who'd a' thought the Swiss would join the bad boys of Europe? They'll be invading Lichtenstein next...

They actually have annexed Liechtenstein, everything there is Swiss.

Early on 1 March 2007, a company of 171 Swiss soldiers mistakenly entered Liechtenstein, as they were disoriented and took a wrong turn due to bad weather conditions. The troops returned to Swiss territory after they had travelled more than 2 km (1¼ miles) into the country. The Liechtenstein authorities did not discover the incursion and were informed by the Swiss after the incident. The incident was disregarded by both sides. A Liechtenstein spokesman said, "It's not like they invaded with attack helicopters".

Why are Swiss teams even allowed in UEFA competition? They've never even been in the EU.
