No Maccabi Tel Aviv fans at Villa Park.

Just nine arrests, fecking ***** cats, back in the day, there'd have been nine arrests before the Suicide Squad got out of the train station.

Don't know if you will remember the name mon ami but around 1968-70 I used to travel with a group that included Andrew Porter. We would have sorted out a few Tel Aviv footy fans before we'd got to the end of a Euston platform. We were so bad even the British Transport Police gave us a wide berth. We once ran across some Millwall fans who were travelling across London to visit Loftus Road. I can still vividly recall the carnage but the Met Police anti-footie hooligan team arrived and gave us all a proper kicking.

The West Midlands bizzies ought to be ashamed of themselves. Let the Jews in and then kick the $hit out of them if they misbehave.

Same goes for the Brummie Muslims who would no doubt be up for a spot of bovver. Soft on crime my arse.

Haven't heard about Andrew for a while, is he still inside ?

I lost contact with him about 45 years ago mon ami. When the FA banned him from travelling to all England games he sort of gave up.

Where does the time go?

Yesterday I was listening to the Lisa Nandy hogwash on the "restriction of freedom" of Jews travelling to the UK to watch a football match. The hypocrisy is sickening. We can't even get on a train with a Palestinian flag to go to London to protest about the IDF massacres of innocent women and kids.

Do with the Jews what Lancashire Police do with us if we want to go to Ewood Park.

Put them on planes in Ben Gurion Airport, fly them into Birmingham and bus them directly to Villa Park. Rinse and repeat on the way home. Simples.

The club have said that they don't want any tickets for the game at Villa Park therefore opening the doors for any ticket tout who is interested in promoting trouble whilst making money. There is now less control than if the club had been given the chance to go.

It's a pathetic and dangerous precedent mein freund. If the Bizzies think there is a risk, put extra Bizzies on duty and make the two teams pay for it.

Failing that there are two options, play the game behind closed doors, or play it on a neutral ground in a neutral country with a strictly restricted set of fans from both clubs allowed, say 2,000 each. What sort of a dystopian, sh!thole, banana republic are we living in when Jewish fans cannot attend a game of football.

Not fair to punish Villa or the Villains fans because the West Midland Bizzies have no cojones is it mon ami. I'm amazed UEFA are not screaming blue murder. The Bizzies conflating football hooliganism with anti-Semitism seems rather odd to me.

Starmer's backboneless Israel supporting modus operandi builds exactly the sort of a dystopian, sh!thole, Banana Republic we are living in when Jewish fans cannot attend a game of football mon ami. He's scared $hitless of any sort of Muslim backlash and because he is a spineless wimp he will not come out and directly say so.

I'm 99% certain the vast majority of Villa fans don't even know where Gaza is.

The fly in the ointment surfaces at last, "the final straw was Tommy Robinson’s promise to attend the match. A source said: “With Robinson’s supporters potentially posing as Maccabi fans on the streets of Birmingham, we concluded that the risk had become unacceptable.”

It possibly influenced the Maccabi decision not to apply for tickets, it had nothing to do with the shameful decision to ban their fans at this end. That decision was made before Tommy stuck his oar in.
