I’ve seen suggestions it said “Stop the Boats”. Pricks if so.

What's that got to do with travellers?

Are people on boats not travelling?

It would have nothing to do with the gypsy and traveller community, I wouldn’t have thought. But then I never said it did. I was just saying what I’d seen people suggesting.

What sort of context and non-outrageous thing do you have in mind, by the way? And do you know it wasn’t taken down immediately?

Shamefully, ignorant, pathetic and hypocritical.

For once, not UEFA.

Other than all the people that already easily do that. You’re right.

And I understood that you actually do comedy for a living.

Nobody seems to have seen the banner have a photo of the banner or much of an idea beyond, maybe gypsies? Are we sure it exists?

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.

My mate couldn't bring in a flag that aid "Villa Till I Die" as that was deemed offensive.  How on earth did the offending banner, whatever it said, get through.
