Perhaps a little oversimplified. I agree that it should be a crowd safety issue and not a political plaything and I agree too that MA’s evidence strengthens your case, but unfortunately it’s already been turned into a political issue and - playing devil’s advocate - what’s the difference between Tel Aviv troublemakers and those from, for example, Birmingham City, West Ham or Chelsea - who all happen to be three of my least favourite clubs with a reputation for nastiness?
