You think the Mayor of Birmingham might have some influence on a local Israeli derby due to be played in Israel, being cancelled?

Frankly, I'm surprised at these accusations of violence, who'd have thought that Israelis could be capable of such things!
Imagine if they had been Palestinian soccer hooligans? They'd have been gunned down on the spot, probably whilst queuing up for the burger van.
Stop taking notice of Jonnyboy's posts then.Which of course is made easier by having a certain group of people who enjoy hearing what they already believe spouted again and again
You don't understand or deliberately misrepresent what he has to say, so your opinion on that isn't worth jack sh*t...
And I guess the facts that have emerged about the Maccabi fans don't fit your 'agenda', so you won't comment on those either...
Far too inconvenient for you
Whereas you take what he says as gospel so your opinion isn’t worth Jack shìt either.
We would send only our nicest fans to Birmingham, promise Maccabi Tel Aviv
ISRAELI club Maccabi Tel Aviv have promised to send only fans who stroke puppies and present old ladies with bouquets of flowers to their match with Aston Villa.

ISRAELI club Maccabi Tel Aviv have promised to send only fans who stroke puppies and present old ladies with bouquets of flowers to their match with Aston Villa.
After the Tel Aviv derby was called off due to rioting and ‘risks to human life’, the club has sworn that only those members of its hardcore support known as the ‘ultra-nice’ would come to Birmingham bringing thoughtful wrapped gifts.
A spokesman said: “Your politicians and media calling a police decision to ban fans anti-Semitism were right. Our true supporters exude a Zen-like calm.
“They will pour off the plane, eager to befriend and tip generously. Planting wildflowers as they go, they will invade central Birmingham, cleaning its streets and pick up litter.
“Skin colour and religion are immaterial, for to them all men are brothers. They light flares only to help those struggling to read in dim light. When they walk around with scaffolding poles as in Amsterdam, it is because they search for buildings to renovate for free.
“The trouble at last night’s game was only because it was a derby so feelings of collegiate friendship overflowed into injuring police and tearing the stadium apart. As is easy to do.”
Prime minister Keir Starmer said: “Yes, I knew I was right to say it was anti-Semitism. Little tip, you can’t ever go wrong with that. It’s how I won power.”
Instead, they've decided to hit Aston Villa where it really hurts ..... in their pocket

The loss of revenue to the Club will be significant.

Maybe their disgraceful behaviour at the Tel Aviv stadium should be taken into account.
Afterall, we have enough of our homegrown football hooligans without importing them as well.

Violent riots tend to follow the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.. Of course it might be a simple coincidence.
Nah, I agree or disagree where appropriate...
It's called having independent thinking...
You should try it sometime. You might find it therapeutic
If you had bothered to read the very first sentence of that article you would've seen that they said they would refuse their allocation IF the ban was overturnedThey were banned, or did they refuse to attend? Pushed or jumped?

There are always a few knobheads intent on causing trouble among any group, including football "supporters".
Typically at a home game though, they are vastly outnumbered.
At an away game, not so much.

You independently thought (and gleefully told us all) you were relocating to your partners country when the Brexit vote didn’t go the way you hoped it would. How did that bit of independent thinking turn out?

That depends on how you view the matter - is it a football decision or politically motivated ?
IIRC, it is never a "football decision"; it is about the areas outside the ground which, although the match is the reason for being there in the first place, is outside of the responsibility of the home team.
It is a policing decision.
Whether the rozzers "misread the room" or not is another question.
TBF to the rozzers though, it was probably a no-win situation: the "war", the hooligan proclivities of the visiting fans, the area around "the Vile", the hair-trigger default response of many Israel supporters to cry foul at any restriction..........
