Already ruled himself out, he's only been at Brondby for about a month!

Yeah, I won't make light of that at all; the attack by people from Amsterdam/surrounding areas on the Maccabi fans was pre-organised (court proceedings showed whatsapp chat logs and such, and was referred to as a "Jew Hunt"), but from reading the Dutch news coverage of it they mostly failed at confronting the Maccabi hooligans who were their actual targets – I believe most of the people they ended up attacking were the Maccabi fans who were trying to avoid getting caught up with the hools, as well as some locals who refused to show ID to thugs who were indeed looking to attack anyone with an Israeli passport (or as being Jewish, as there were at least several of them using the Arabic words for Jew rather than the words for Israeli so there was definitely anti-semitic motivation there, I won't deny), and one Ukrainan refugee they mistook as being Israeli. But AFAIK the anti-Arab chanting, ripping down Palestinian flags, vandalising property (trying to kick down doors and break windows) and attacking an Arab taxi driver (breaking his windscreen with a metal pole) happened before the attacks by the locals. A lot of Maccabi fans avoided being arrested by covering their faces and getting on the flight home before the police could identify them, conveniently helped by some CCTV footage being wiped.

That's only because De Boer had a full preseason. His first competitive game to the day he was sacked was 30 days.

"Notts Forest" 😂 Must be a Derby fan doing the BBC graphics

Cooper had 12 PL games and 3 cup games

19 minutes after the final whistle 🤣🤣🤣 Nice little payday for Ange

They weren't banned by UEFA because their recent incidents of violence were outside of the stadium, and in UEFA's eyes (long-established precedent) if it wasn't in the stadium they didn't see it. This ban was initiated by the council, informed by a risk assessment (or some such) from the wider policing network. France for example has regional prefects who routinely issue bans to away contigents they believe will cause trouble; same with Italy's regional councils who have previously banned fans from German teams whose home address is in the same city as the team. I'll quote one of the articles I linked in my previous post that you obviously haven't bothered to read: "The Frankfurt fans were excluded on Sept. 22 when Italian authorities issued an order to Napoli denying the German club the usual ticket allocation for visiting teams because of the risk of violence between rival fans."

It's not Jews being banned, it's away fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv, because policing intelligence suggests they're likely to need significantly more resources to police than a typical away contigent (and they don't want to put their officers or stewards at risk) and their fans' prior behaviour has repeatedly been violent, causing property damage and chanting racist slogans. Away fans of a club being banned from attending a European fixture because police/security deem to be them a significant risk is nothing new, nor is it exclusive to Maccabi Tel Aviv — ask fans of Legia Warsaw (whose behaviour at Villa Park earned them a ban) Frankfurt, Feyenoord, West Ham, Barcelona, etc Aston Villa's Jewish fans (I believe they have a small Jewish Supporters Group?) aren't banned from attending, nor am I aware of any Aston Villa fans being banned on the basis of their religion.

What a goal, made muscling Diomande off the ball look easy

You can tell it's a fake because they did a better job of matching the two pink colours than adidas did on the real kits

We've got a two goal fuching lead Martiball is unstoppable now

"Bakary Soumarah"

Abdul is the messiah

Send Faes to the family investment home overlooking Hampstead Heath

This Swansea commentator though "De Cordeeva Reid" "Jeremy Mongo" "Wout Feiss"

JJ!!!! What a goal

Ironic for a club who bangs on about "established/common practices among other clubs" for stuff like ticket prices The higher-ups simply hold the fanbase in contempt

It comes off his head! VAR must be a Rangers fan

Kelechi scores against Braga Terrible backpass that he capitalised on edit: never mind been ruled out by VAR because he handballed it 😂

I was screaming out for Hamza to push up when Fatawu had the ball in the final third, he was sitting so deep like the only thing he was expecting would happen was for Longman and Brunt to wrestle the ball off of Abdul so he needed to stay in the backline

"40,000-seater indoor stadium" indoor? 😂

Iversen with a fingertip save for Preston to keep it 0-0 right at the end
