Yeah, it just seemed a clumsy thing to say, as soon as she uttered the words, it's like a head in hands moment.

Hope he gets hit by a bus just after finding out his wife is shagging his brother.
Is KingHotspur the one that Citizen Kane has blocked?
At least we know he’s not an Iranian bot farm account, since he’s still posting
That Spurs supporting Jock nationalist geezer been about at all?
What the geezer did was inexcusable - but I'd also want the 'enquiry' (if there ever is one) to take a look at the broader background - would hazard a guess that in his 'performance goals and objectives' (effectively set by those who have just 'encouraged' his exit), were ones relating to overseeing / facilitating increased (or improved) relationships with 'local communities' and other 'politically correct' nonsense... policing should, first and foremost, be about ensuring 'everybody' adheres to the laws of the land - they are not there to be quasi social workers ..
Rant done!

What I see is a public servant anxious to prevent violent disorder on his patch. That's his job, isn't it? It was until he retired, anyway.
Yes - but as a high ranking professional, ultimately responsible for such a high profile decision, he should have weighed up the 'risk' and supporting 'evidence' himself - clearly didn't - the phantom West Ham game, for instance - and therefore had no plausible justification for a blanket fan ban; the like of which has never been seen before in this country ...
Has happened before with Galatasary at Leeds but very different situation with no fabricated evidence.
Violent disorder probably happens every week in Birmingham tbf.
Blues against Villa, Wolves v West Brom? ... would it seriously have been more difficult to police? ... bubble game
Thing that gets me, it was all centred around the way the away fans would behave or the concerns of local residents, when in fact it had nothing to do with football at all, it was a bunch of local thugs that turned up, plus extremists from other parts of the UK 'probably' to cause trouble, doubt many of them even went to the game or even had any interest in the game. If this had been anyone else the truncheons would have been out battering them. But for some reason we have to treat them with kid gloves while inconveniencing actual match going fans from both teams. At least we know this is acceptable behaviour now according to the local MP Khan, and next time the far right kick off, I'll expect the same leniency and local MP's coming out in support of them.
That was after the two Leeds fans were fatally stabbed in Istanbul, so understandable - and, as you say, very different...
They were also asked about the age of consent and said nah **** that too
If the cops thought they couldn't police the event the match should have been called off, until such time they have sufficient resources to allow law abiding citizens to go about their business.
That protest/scuffle had no place at an English football match and that was on the back of the cops supposedly having implemented measures for the game to go ahead peacefully - it failed because they were allowed to have their way and cause a disturbance.
Football clubs will always do their best to get on with their neighbours, but it should always be remembered the football club was there long before the residents, excluding new stadiums.
