@footballontnt City player had no intention to play the ball and fouled the Chelsea player. Later, a City attacker did the same to a Chelsea defender in the penalty box & ref gave free kick. Standards in football rules and consistency have dropped.
@talkSPORT Neutral fan. For me, Trossard is pulling the WHU player who ends up raising his are near Raya’s head. Was his arm not taised to try & balance himself as he’s pulled. Because of that, for me it’s not a foul on Raya.
@suttonunited@paulloughlin In a 2week period, eight goals conceded at home against 2 teams in the relegation zone with no goals scored. 0-5, 0-3. Not good!
@DAZN_NationalLg People say the first was red. Yes, but it wouldn’t have stopped the second challenge as the ref played an advantage. The player rolling around after the first challenge was well enough to sprint and pile into the Sutton player!
@suttonunited keen to see the pitch side camera angle for the penalty. I’m sure Callum toed the ball to Sims, so no pen. Also, I’m sure ref was correct to send off Rees. His hand changed direction to push ball past keeper. Deliberate hand ball & second yellow.
@suttonunited@paulloughlin TBH I thought our lad toed the ball away from the attacker, so was surprised it was a penalty. Maybe I’m looking through yellow tinted glasses!
Following yesterday's revelations regarding the conduct of West Midlands Police surrounding events involving Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters, we are deeply concerned by the emerging evidence.
The newly disclosed assessments indicate that the primary threat to public safety and to the Israeli and Jewish communities did not originate from the fans themselves, but from organised radical Islamist groups who were actively preparing and arming themselves with the intention of harming Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters.
The portrayal of Israeli fans as violent was a gross mischaracterisation that served the needs of those actively inciting against an Israeli team.
This framing diverted attention away from credible intelligence warnings regarding extremist elements preparing to target Israeli and Jewish Maccabi supporters, and instead placed blame on the very community that was facing the threat.
The decision to obscure these assessments, and to allow a misleading narrative to take hold, raises serious questions. These acts by law enforcement institutions undermine real security risks, and even encourages a climate in which hostility towards Israeli and Jewish communities can be normalised under the rule of law.
These matters require full accountability.
