Yup, it's almost as if they don't understand how European football works.

If only there was a UEFA equivalent for Asia and the Middle East....

It needs to be said again and again because there are so many gaslighting pricks around at the minute, but fans being banned from travelling to a game because of potential trouble is so common it is banal.

'The annointed hordes sought found the Villa gates locked & 1000 lads with SIA Level 2 baring their way. So they ran up Trinity Road as directed by God & threw righteous rocks thru shop windows, chanting 'Starmer help us kill the babies' & rending down the Devils Palestine flags.' Revelations, 3/7.

Has Starmer popped up on Twitter with a statement on this yet, or is he still incandescent with rage that Maccabi tel Aviv fans are banned from Villa Park ?

Don’t forget that sensible centrists are just praying that the Greens self sabotage so that Starmer can win again…

When I look back on my life and think of all the things I’ve achieved in my 84 years this has to be my proudest. In 1984 I funded this game that the #Tories went Fucking ballistic. Lives were threatened and a finger was cut off by masked men. #MargaretThatcher has been remembered. She was a Vampire!

If his 'first priority' claim is remotely true then he should have told Starmer to STFU.

Unsurprising - police used facial recognition at Palestinian protests but for Tommys far right it was not used! Starmer also didn’t comment on the march but has always commented on the Palestinian marches. His racism shows and his never ending preference for Israel over UK citizens is obvious.

Damaging report shows how Starmer chose Israel over British democratic rights

Blistering new report demonstrates how Starmer has repeatedly put support of Israel - and their genocide - over British democracy

He'll line up with RefUK to blame British Muslims and Palestine Action while the right-wing media squeal about a Birmingham caliphate.

Never have bad intentions been so obviously signposted.

When a bunch of British fascists show up to join the Israeli fascists in Birmingham next month, remember that this was entirely caused by Keir Starmer. Every single injury sustained, every piece of public vandalism caused, is his fault.

Your Party's 2026 electoral strategy is very interesting.

Suspect the intention is to create a scenario in which violence is inevitable and then blame it on British Muslims and Palestine Action.

Weird that Starmer is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Tommeh Y-L and Refuk on this one.

It's VERY important that both voters who still do not support some form of Rejoin, or politicians actively blocking it, like Starmer, understand...

That this is A DIRECT RESULT OF BREXIT.

And if we were still in the EU, would not be happening.

Good point. Why would they hand their Britcard contract to an American software supplier and insist that British people use smartphones with American operating systems on them?

If government really wants the very best for the country it is managing why, why would they give #NHS contracts to a company with such a negative track record as #Palantir?

US spy-tech giant Palantir is moving into our NHS to handle patient data, the same company with a troubling record of surveillance and deportations.

Our Tech and Data Lead, Duncan, spoke at Hackney Town Hall as Homerton Hospital considers adopting Palantir software.

What do you think?

It's arguably worse, because WM Police and the Safety Advisory Group made their decision based on established and impartial principles that that apply equally to every football club.

Starmer appears to be demanding special treatment.

Ed Malroy @edmalroy.bsky.social · 5h

The far-right are already using the entirely justified and unprejudiced ban as an excuse to whip up hatred amongst the Facebook Fash, and moronic centrists like Starmer, Davey and Nandy are standing alongside them and actively encouraging a scenario likely to result in violent clashes.

Another cowardly statement by Starmer: of course the violent hooligan fans of that Israeli football club should be banned from their match with Aston Villa.
