    They haven't gone after Hamas though, they're leaders are still sitting pretty in Qatar counting their money, that is the point you seem to be missing.

    This from an Arsenal supporter that has told us the very violence that use to get dished out at Highbury lol.

    Portsmouth and Southampton, Cardiff and Swansea have all had bubble matches, but this is the Israelis so it's different.

    Didn't unticketed fans even storm Wembley on mass during a major competition in recent years.

    They went after those in Qatar and people were outraged. They’ve killed thousands of Hamas militants including prominent leaders. That’s not seriously in doubt, is it? The same with Hezbollah.

    Even by your standards this is desperate.

    Can you imagine the uproar if it turned out that the SAS was using a room in the Oncology department at Barnet General to interrogate dangerous criminals?

    I'm not sure what's more twisted, Hamas doing what it does, or you defending them doing it, even going so far as to pity their decision.

    I've not missed that point at all, as usual assumptions by you, again I've said on here in the past about them sitting in Qatar, part reason I said with tongue in cheek Trump needs to slap them, I mentioned Qatar in the very comment you quoted. Piskie even quoted you over what I said, and the $1.2T investment, keep up ffs Ern.

    Anyway, yeah let's **** up Qatar, sounds good to me, anymore we need to add to the list. :bandit:

    Obviously we need to seek approval from Piskie and Fosse first, just to avoid any biblical floods.

    I only mentioned trump and Qatar because of your hilarious suggestion Trump would intervene with Qatar when it's quite clear he's done the opposite.

    It was tongue in cheek, I thought that would be obvious, it was typed to get a reaction and you and Piskie obliged (oh and Archers!). But in seriousness, yes we should go after the heads behind the 7th October attack in Qatar, I've never overlooked that point and mentioned them in the distant past. I forget you have to be like Pisk and repeat things daily, I hadn't been on for several days. Maybe they would like some new pagers.

    @Saf is on hols, and although I hadn't commented I'd noted you were taking the usual barrage of comments, so decided last night to even it up a bit.

    You attempted to assassinate their ceasefire delegation ffs! ...

    ... of course they are going to try and operate from a building 'less likely' to be blown up or at least still structurally intact to a degree ... not withstanding that there is supposed to be a cessation of hostilities ...

    What do you expect them to do? ... here's your chance for a sensible suggestion ...

    If there’s a cessation of hostilities I’d argue they shouldn’t be rounding up suspected dissenters to torture in a hospital basement at all.

    This is what they should have done from day one.

    They'll lose anyway, it's worth taking a 3-0 default and a token fine to make a point. Just don't turn up and spoil the fun for everyone.

    Yeah Villa should win comfortably but not really the point and would set a pretty lousy precedent. UEFA wouldn’t look overly kindly on it.

    CK, I can't name one off the top of my head but name me one top tier game on English soil in the last two decades that has banned away fans, due to police intelligence and concerns of not being able to deal with any potential trouble?

    I don't want to know games footballing authorities have banned, ie behind closed doors because of previous behaviour, and I'm also not chatting the covid period.

    Plenty of games have had various safety measures imposed, such as bubble games, licensing hours changed, coming onboard travel coaches, stop and search, sniffer dogs, facial recognition, but I can't think of any that had outright tried to ban any travel of the opposition whatsoever.

    Plenty of individual life bans for previous trouble, but not as an entire group. We deal with some dodgy ultras on a regular basis, still no outright ban on all visiting fans.

    Anyway my lot got Salford at home on Saturday, I will have to do my public duty and go and plant a flag in the centre circle for Mr Neville should he turn up. Actually that's a joke in case Kent Police are reading.
