Maccabi Tel Aviv

[Knave of Hearts]

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 overturned

So they jumped after they were pushed?

 

[Odds]

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..........

I think two members of the council called it a football decision and two more said it's down to football to sort it out.
For the record, i've already said politicians should steer well clear and leave the police to do their job.

Do you know what the words 'IF the ban was overturned' means?

Well whaddya know...

More info...

"Intelligence on ‘extreme’ Maccabi fans with history of violence led to Villa Park ban"

"Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were banned from watching their game against Aston Villa after police intelligence concluded the biggest risk of violence came from extremist fans of the Israeli club"

"Scores of extreme Maccabi fans with a past history of violence and shouting “racist taunts” were expected to travel to the Birmingham game.
Dutch police told their British counterparts that the Maccabi fans had instigated trouble in Amsterdam at a game last year.
They had randomly picked Muslims in Amsterdam to attack. That led to reprisal violence with some Dutch Jews attacked.
A huge Dutch police effort, involving 5,000 officers across three days, was needed to quell the trouble"

"A community impact assessment by West Midlands police recorded that some Jewish people wanted the Maccabi fans banned because of the trouble that might ensue if they attended"

So much for the anti semitism claims!

Maccabi fans marching through predominantly Muslim areas waving Israeli flags and chanting anti Muslim slogans, would be perceived by a lot of residents,as the equivalent of Nazi supporters marching through Jewish areas waving swastikas.

It could have led to widespread disorder.
I think the police made the right decision,
Starmer, has shown himself prepared to slander British police as anti semitic in order to placate the usual suspects.

The ban was in place when they jumped after being pushed.
Hypothetical developments in the future make no difference.

 

[Vinty]

Starmer has said that an operational decision made by the police in Birmingham, to ban Maccabi fans was anti semitic.
If that is the case, then those who made that decision should be held accountable.
However if an investigation of the decision to ban the Maccabi fans, shows that the grounds for the ban were legitimate and on public safety concerns alone. Then Starmer should resign and apologise, he is unfit to lead Britain as he has shown he is ready to throw a British police force under the bus in order not offend foreign football hooligans.

And not a million miles away from having knuckle draggers festooning the country with flags feigning 'patriotism'...

Whilst besieging immigrant hotels and committing arson at mosques.

Why would Muslims attack a Mosque?
Because Zionists attacked a Synagogue?

SPLINE is a hate filled troll

Indeed...

But the mods seem happy to allow his/her hate filled trolling posts whilst censoring replies!
