Real Antisemitism:
Hating or attacking Jewish people for being Jewish
Fake Antisemitism:
- Saying Free Palestine
- Boycotting Israel
- Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu
- Anti Zionism
- Calling out politicians paid off by Israeli lobby
- Calling it a genocide
As the Israel team travels to Europe where they will play against Austria, Ireland and Kosovo between 24 September - 6 October, Palestinian families are being displaced and dispossessed, their land stolen, their olive trees uprooted, and their histories erased by settlers with the support of the Israeli military. The beautiful game should bring people together, not rubber-stamp apartheid.
It’s unconscionable that the Israel men’s football team will participate in the UEFA Nations League this autumn despite clear evidence that Israel’s football association continues to support illegal settlements.
Sport should never be used as a public relations spectacle for states committing atrocities. When rules are broken, when occupation, apartheid and genocide are ongoing, we cannot look the other way.

MICHAEL NICHOLSON has provided a major update on the future of Martin O’Neill as Celtic boss
In a statement he said the plan was to “come together and support Martin”.
He said: “The final weeks of the Premiership season; the final match at Celtic Park; the Scottish Cup final; these will live long in the memory for Celtic fans, whose support was a decisive factor.
“I thank Callum McGregor and all of the players and staff for their hard work and determination throughout the season that made the success possible.
“As the Chairman has noted, the environment was unstable, following Brendan Rodgers’ resignation and our decision to move on from Wilfried Nancy.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to Martin O’Neill and his management team, who stepped up for Celtic, twice, and who guided the team to success.
“We were therefore delighted that Martin agreed to lead the Club again this season and we have worked with Martin and his team over the summer transfer window to invest in the squad.
“Having started well in the Premiership this season, we experienced disappointment in the UEFA Champions League play-off.
“Reaching the league phase of the Champions League is an objective for us all, and we are sorry not to have achieved it.
“On top of that, the losses in the last week have been painful for us all.
“We will now come together and support Martin and the players, as we focus our efforts on achieving success domestically and in the Europa League.”
Brother Walfrid did not found our club to feed the East End because he accepted the East End’s place in the food chain.
Willie Maley did not give 43 years to building it because he thought the ceiling was already set.
Jock Stein did not take eleven men born within thirty miles of Celtic Park and win the European Cup because he had accepted that clubs like ours do not win things like that.
Every one of them was told the same thing we are told now. The money is elsewhere. The league is the league. You work within what you have.
They refused it. That refusal is the club. It is the only thing that has ever made Celtic different from a well run business in the green and white sector.
The last published accounts show £77.2m in the bank and £17.8m of pre-tax profit. That is not a club under pressure. That is a club that has decided the pressure belongs to somebody else.
Sustainability is a floor. It is what stops you falling through, and after 1994 we needed one. Somewhere in the last twenty years it got quietly turned into a ceiling. A defensive position became the strategy, and now we are invited to be grateful for the balance sheet as though the balance sheet were the point.
Nobody is arguing for recklessness. There is a long distance between recklessness and this, and we are parked at the wrong end of it.
The question is not whether Celtic can compete in Europe. It is whether anyone at the top of this club still thinks it is worth trying.

McCowan will get rightly slated for their winner, but look how lazy he is here. He was a sub, fresh legs etc. And he's just not bothered his arse tracking the player crossing the ball.
Young talented EPL playet whod had made his debut, talking 20-30 Million with the rediculous over priced inflation in that league. Load of shite we would be interested in anything other than a loan

Celtic have entered the race for Manchester United midfielder Dan Gore, with the Hoops potentially offering the academy graduate a permanent route into Scottish football.
Celtic are monitoring the 21-year-old alongside Southampton, Sheffield United and Swansea City.
Interest remains at an exploratory stage, with Manchester United yet to make a final decision on Gore’s future.

Tonight marks potentially the biggest night in the 147 year history of Cliftonville FC. We will vote on whether to accept the TIG investment into the club. Every member of this club, given the choice, would want it to remain Member owned. It's something that makes us special and part of the club; having our say on matters big and small. But the simple fact is - if we stand still, we are going backwards. Clubs all around us are progressing and modernising. Our beloved stadium, set in the picturesque and iconic Waterworks, has a main stand that's been crumbling and generally unused for years.
The takeover isn't about throwing money at players to guarantee success. Look at the amount the Glens have wasted attempting that. It's about bringing in people with years of experience to revolutionise the club and improve everything from the academy, staff and men and women's teams, to the entire North Belfast Community. Leaving a legacy that can be enjoyed by generations to come.
The whole process has been fraught with bitterness between members and it's been played out in the media, often minutes after a meeting has ended. That's unfortunate and there are friendships probably broken beyond the realms of repair. It boils down to the fact we all love the club and care for it so much, and each of us will think we know best.
If tonight doesn't get passed, I don't know where the club goes. And that's not to say we should accept any deal because we need money for a new stadium. I genuinely think the deal is a once in a lifetime opportunity (or maybe twice in a lifetime?) and we will see the club reach the potential we have. I don't see any investor wanting to touch us if this doesn't go through.
I remember going to a game against Omagh and there was literally about 80 people at it. People older than me will tell you of how we used to get beat 6/7/8 every week but they stuck with it, probably more for the pints and craic than anything to be fair.
Tonight is a massive opportunity for Cliftonville FC to take a step towards coming the biggest club in Ireland. Ambitious but I don't see any reason we can't become that. Hoping to come out of tonight with a giddy excitement about the club's future.
You Reds
It was reported at the weekend Isobella Perrie Sullivan, arrested in Monaghan with a bomb believed to be for use in a suspected attack in Derry had spent two years in Syria, what her solicitor actually said was she spent two years in Saoradh - the dissident political group
Unlucky England, but well done on reaching the semi final after playing, Panama, Ghana, Croatia, Congo, Mexico and Norway after qualifying from a group with Albania, Serbia, Latvia and Andorra 👏
Breaking:
Israeli Intelligence agency Mossad wanted to assassinate the Pakistan's military chief Asim Munir while he was in Switzerland for US-Iran talks.
— Mossad wanted to assassinate Pakistani military chief Asim Munir to derail US-Iran peace-talks and throw the region into the war again.
— Pakistan's military intelligence intercepted Mossad's plan about the assassination of its military chief.
— Pakistan didn't change the meeting schedule for Asim Munir but sent very cold message to Israel:
"If you touch our delegation, we'll wipe you off the map."
— Pakistan's message to Israel had zero room for creative interpretation. Mossad backed off from its plan.
◾Brazilian investigative journalist and famous author Pepe Escobar makes stunning revelation.
Never got my takeaway last night as the union bears in their gimp masks were busy making the world a safer place by kicking fuck out my delivery driver. A wee break from wanting to be up to their knees in my blood to up to their knees in my pakora sauce instead.
When 4 Jewish Ambulances were burnt out. Starmer & every MP was all over the Media. Cobra Meetings called, visited site etc. Monies given to Jeiwsh Commuinty
Last night families were burnt out of their homes and attacked by racists. Where is the same response
