UEFA getting the big stick out

There is a pic doing the rounds on FB of a stop the boats/no surrender flag in Istanbul.

Yeah, even a deep dive into the worst of Villa Twitter doesn't give anything.

You'd think someone, somewhere would have seen it at the game for it to cause this much fuss.

Want  to know something about the Villa, ask a Blues fan.

Pretty sure it’s the stop the boats flag which is in Twitter on quite a few accounts. UEFA meaning of traveller different to the one used in contemporary UK.

Still a shit thing to display at our first European final in fucking 44 years although not something I would have though would trigger UEFA's ire considering they allow Israel to compete.

Yes, I think that’s it. The fucking racist dimwits. Posted on X with the comment “Why would they take this into the ground? Are they thick?”

Well, obviously. The flag says it all.

Stupid is as stupid does. Ban the buggers for life.

I'd be interested to know if it was in a seat sold by Villa or by UEFA.

Think I saw that in Taksim. Had the red hand of Ulster on it too. Crammed it all on.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense.

Evidence.

And I understood that you actually do comedy for a living.
Well done, you must be very proud.🥲
Keep up the good work.
Don’t give up your day job.

Oh dear.

I cannot stand these far right flag shaggers and wish they would all just fuck off.  What on earth is the point of taking a flag like that to a football game?

But even so, I'm not sure why a flag with the words 'Stop The Boats' should cause a UEFA intervention, particularly when Italian fans seem to get away with regularly stabbing people as a hobby.

Villa fans behaviour was pretty impeccable in Istanbul, but somehow we still come away with a fine and a suspended ban.
