  1. Are the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans considered a threat to public order or is the concern that there will be violence and protests against them from British people?

    Or both?

    Sensible decision that should have been made a long time ago as I’m sure there are some half decent Tel Aviv fans that have wasted money on flights and that. But they’re a troublesome bunch, and there must be a hundred thousand Muslims within half hour walk of Villa Park. It wouldn’t have gone well I imagine.

    A true achievement! Israel has produced football hooligans so racist and violent, that they can’t be allowed into the country known for its racist and violent football hooligans.

    If we had a racism Olympics, most countries would be struggling to compete with Israel—but maybe maintaining an [apartheid](https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/09/19/world-court-findings-israeli-apartheid-wake-call) should count as an illegal performance enhancing drug in that kind of competition.

    Probably wise looking at the local population around Villa Park. This wouldn’t be a good mix.

  5. Good stuff, firstly Israel should have been kicked of UEFA competitions anyway at least a year ago so they shouldn’t even be playing, but also their fans are provocative troublemakers who want to start a riot and then play the victim, we don’t want them here.
