It is an extremely ugly situation all round and I’m not sure why you’re suggesting I think otherwise. Maccabi Tel Aviv fans have an element of their fanbase who have acted like thugs, and other fans of theirs have suffered anti-Semitic attacks as well - none of it is acceptable. Where we differ...

Well yes - that and the fact that the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans also have a track record of racist violence themselves. As I’ve said earlier in this thread - I personally think it’s wrong to assume the worst in football fans and you should let the police do their job. I wouldn’t assume that...

In which case I probably wouldn’t think to ask whether you thought ‘More religious people’ of a certain type was a good thing - unless you had a problem with a particular kind then I assume your answer would be the same each time.

There are extremely un-progressive groups in all religions - Islam, Judaism, Christianity, whatever - but when you’re talking about a minority within a minority then I wouldn’t use their views to say I want ‘more Islam’ or ‘‘less Judaism’ or whatever. And as I say, I don’t believe in any of it...

They surely would in certain countries. As I’ve said earlier in this thread, I don’t agree with that, but surely some club would ban them for fear of trouble.

More extremist Islam is bad if that’s what you mean. I’m not religious so I don’t especially want ‘more’ of any of them tbh, but I don’t see any religion as inherently good or bad.

No, you’re right - I just think the idea that that European fixtures used to be these happy clappy trouble-free games in the early 2000s just doesn’t hold water.

Why is this an “issue”?

I know you like to blame everything on immigration, but football fans from different countries have been kicking the shit out of each other for decades. I also have no doubt that a Russian team playing a competitive game in the UK in this environment would probably require a pretty serious...

Who sits on the SAG that made the decision? Clearly if they didn’t have a reputation for violence then they wouldn’t have been banned, but I think it’s bullshit to just straight up ban any team’s fans from a game, and if you haven’t exhausted all options in terms of policing then you’ll...

I wouldn’t expect a team like Sheffield Wednesday to go under, there is always always a buyer in the wings.

I think Rangers would thrive in the Premier League, and Celtic would be doomed. But I’m basing that purely on my views on transubstantiation.

Except the law, I guess.

Why didn’t the previous owners do something like this? Wouldn’t make enough money or just couldn’t be arsed?

Where were you born? Where were your parents born? And where did you work and study? Unless the answers to those questions are all the same, then you have your answer. I agree with you btw that foreign aid should be a key part of any country’s immigration policy. But we apparently want to cut...

Maybe it’s having bounced between Wilson and Collins for more than a year, but for some reason our fans’ expectations of what keepers should be saving and what constitutes a blunder seem completely fried sometimes. That second goal from Wright was an outstanding finish.

Good news if you’re a white person who’s upset about asylum seekers and feels like you’re not allowed to talk about it - the United States might now accept you as a refugee Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee Program That Would Favor White People

We could feasibly see a situation soon where Hamas claims that they can’t return any more hostage bodies because Gaza is too pulverised, and Israel responds by resuming the bombing...
