Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv say they will not accept any ticket allocation from Aston Villa should the decision to ban their supporters from next month's Europa League match be overturned.
They must be taking Oscar Wilde's advice and who can blame them?
A government spokesperson said: "We are deeply saddened Maccabi Tel Aviv have turned down their away fan allocation but we respect their right to do so." They added it was "completely unacceptable" that the match has been "weaponised to stoke violence and fear by those who seek to divide us".
Who was threatening violence then, chum? Who is this mysterious 'those' and why don't you simply tell the cops to crack dowwn on them?
Nandy said the matter was wider than matchday security, adding it came "against the backdrop of rising antisemitism here and across the world, and an attack on a synagogue in Manchester in which two innocent men were killed".
One of them by your undisciplined armed officers...

Like hell they are. They have done their part and given the impression they would welcome the Maccabi fans, while relieved they won't be coming, and will no doubt be celebrating in their club. I still feel that the best way to show that they will not stand for anti-semitism, is to cancel all AV tickets, and play in an empty stadium.e
