My generation is the soundbite generation. My attention span is incredibly short. My words reflect that.

@koshercockney @AVFCOfficial Let's be honest, if there was any consistency with how footballs governing bodies deal with nations committing ethnic cleansing then Israeli sides wouldn't be playing full stop. They'd be banned as happened with South Africa, Yugoslavia and Russia.

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

There's been scant regard for villa fans or locals.

Whatever happens, this could've all been avoided had Israel faced the same ban that apartheid South Africa, Yugoslavia 92-95 and Russia have previously faced.

It's Israeli exceptionalism that has got us here.

It's mad that the actual government put pressure on WMP to reverse their decision on this and let hooligans with links to a military that's committed acts of genocide into Aston.

[Imran Mulla @Imran_posts]

EXCLUSIVE: We can reveal the police assessment behind the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans found hundreds of them in Amsterdam were "linked to the IDF".

Dutch police said they were "experienced fighters", "highly organised" and "intent on causing serious violence".

We've had Andy Fox, a cheerleader for the Israeli regime, appear on Sky news pretending to be the spokesman for a supporters club that doesn't even appear to exist.

We've had Akhmed Yakoob, an apparent Man United fan cosplaying being Villa.

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

This is shameless.

The brass neck on them trying to use Remembrance Sunday to rally support for a regime that's killed British troops.

Do they want to mention John Chapman, James Kirby and James Henderson who were killed by the IDF when their aid convoy was targetted in Gaza?

Aston Villa banned Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from their Europa League match on November 6th, and now divisive figures like Akhmed Yahood, Jeremy Corbyn MP and Ayoub Khan MP plan to protest against the team and its players — aiming to drive Israel out of sport and Jews out of public life.

But November 6th can be an opportunity for an alternative voice to be heard. One that says that these extremists do not speak for football fans, for the people of Birmingham — or for the UK.

We will be outside Villa Park to stand in solidarity with anyone who wants to say: exclusion and anti-Semitism are not part of the Britain we want to see.

This match takes place just three days before Remembrance Sunday. It's an opportunity for our generation to stand against the politicians that seek division — the same battle that our grandparents and great-grandparents fought.

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

@OurFightUk Villa didn't ban them, their own club did after Tel Aviv Steve stuck his nose in and started stirring the pot. If you're not Villa you should stay away. We don't want muppets causing trouble and then scuttling away leaving locals to pick up the pieces.

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

@avfcbreaking @MaccabiTLVFC Nah, fuck off you weird melt.

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

That goal was something else. The pass from Cash was audaciously ambitious, somehow Digne controls it and Buendia couldn't have placed it any better. Even Rogers moving his arse out the way was perfectly timed.

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

Well this is odd. It turns out this "Villa fan" that @SkyNews interviewed isn't quite what he seems. The bloke has a very interesting background.

Some very special access passes too.

@TRobinsonNewEra @AmichaiChikli @MaccabiTLVFC This isn't very good "journalism" Tommy. They've been banned by WMP, not Labour MPs, who like you, are actually falling over each other to appease the Israeli state. Also do you reckon muppets like yourself and Jenrick can go one minute without shitting on our city please?

[Politics For You @PoliticoForYou]

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨

The entire British ruling class come together as one to suggest that a group of violent, racist, football hooligans are reflective of all Jewish people everywhere.

Have we genuinely lost our fucking minds?

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

@larterlia1957 @OurFightUk Jews have always been welcome at Villa park and you choosing to spin the police decision this way is disengenuous + dangerous. It's not unusual for away fans to be banned (Eintracht in Napoli) & given Maccabi's well documented racism + violence the decision is not controversial.

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

@Keir_Starmer Do tell us Keir, why is it that South Africa were banned by FIFA during apartheid, Russian sides were banned following their invasion of Ukraine and yet Israeli sides get to continue as normal after committing genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing and apartheid in the West Bank?

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

@_stonyd @AVFCOfficial Weird take mate. So you want Villa fans banned for life if they wave a flag but the racist thugs of Maccabi to be welcomed with open arms?

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

@AVFCOfficial Israeli clubs shouldn't be playing in UEFA competitions anyway. Russian clubs were banned after their state invaded Ukraine. As brutal as that war is it's nothing on the devastation that's been wrought on Gaza. Why can Israel commit genocide and their clubs carry on as usual?

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

Given how we struggle to break down teams that get men behind the ball I think Sunderland going down to 10 might not help us all that much.

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

@B6Nigel @avfcbreaking Where have you read that there's a protest to disrupt and provoke? That didn't happen during the England game at VP when they just spoke to fans about the campaign, so why are you suggesting it here?

[Shins1874 @Shins1874]

@avfcbreaking For further claity it says "outreach" not protest. They were at the England v Andorra game making the same case. Why are you suggesting that there's going to be issues getting into the ground because of a handful of people doing outreach?

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

Israel is clearly taking the piss, certain it can get away with anything. They could gun down David Attenborough, say it was because Hamas had a tunnel in his arse and no European leader would complain.
