I'm in two minds over this. The Maccabi supporters were in Amsterdam for days before and after the match with a large number coming from the Netherlands. Likening it to containing away supporters in UK derbies isn't applicable.

 

It's not a genocide. For a genocide to be attributable the actions have to meet an agreed criteria and Israel's actions in Gaza do not meet that criteria. Anti Jewish types are deliberately spouting that term not only for effect but mainly because genocide is a war crime. Despite what the UN may say, the only genocide was on October 7th 2023.

Amsterdam. You should know better than take Thumwood's word for what happened in Amsterdam. See above.

You are worried about the behaviour of a relatively small number of Maccabi (Jewish) fans in a city with a huge Muslim population, who no doubt would be out in strength that evening? Your priorities are a bit out of whack TB14.

 

"I take it that IOAG would be happy with the ruckus if the Maccabi fans behaved this way in Chandler's Ford ?"

Well firstly, I can't think of a good reason why Maccabi fans would ever want to visit Chandler's Ford although I have heard Waitrose do a mean Bagel.
Secondly, the reference to Chandler's Ford might have more relevance if I actually lived there, you doughnut. The Maccabi fans, when they come, can cause as much of a ruckus as they like. I won't hear them.
After they've destroyed CF I'll send them down to Otterbourne.

 

As long as you don't send any more foreigners up here to Lincoln as we're overloaded with them already. Mostly the ones with cockney or mockney accents!
