UEFA have finally taken a stand

A mild, late, spineless stand. But a stand. It makes me wonder how much longer this can go on before governments realise people are fed up of this.

Oh, please

Because the hostages count too. I cannot believe this needs saying.

This football organisation should have recognised all victims, their allegiances are so very obvious. We all know what they think and who they are directing their comments at. Maybe 'hamas stop starving your people' or would that upset the hamas big wigs in Qatar?

If they wanted to appear professional and impartial they should have said 'ceasefire in gaza' or similar. It's all so disingenuous this oh they meant all victims. No, they didn't. They were trying to please salah.

Erm should we introduce you to Danial Levy the chairman of Spurs for the last god knows how many years? Noticed how Son only came out with messages to stop the killing after he’d decided to leave the club.

I always think that there’s no way these threads will descend into chaos. But we now have people trying to say that “stop killing children” was a bad thing to say.

Well, if you really think that was all their message was I can't help you.

Anywayyy. For the majority though we understand exactly what they were getting at. And even though the hostages aren't 'made of gold' <still can't believe someone said that> this stupid footie club should've also said release the hostages.

I think:

Stop Hamas from causing the deaths of children.
**
Hamas must surrender and release the hostages now.

would have been more apt.

What's the relevance of Levy?

Israel are killing children.

UEFA do what their paymasters tell them to.

Civilians are being killed as there is a conflict ongoing. The terrorists in gaza are doing nothing to protect their people, quite the opposite.

Nobody has said that. Qatar control UEFA. You think this message was a humanitarian one. A lot of people don't. It's just another part of the game. Suckers fall for it - others don't.

I’d have a lot more respect for Zionists if they were just truthful about their beliefs.

What do you mean here? The pp seems to be direct.

UEFA have absolutely no place taking a political stance.

It’s a slippery slope.

If they admitted that they find the message “stop killing children” to be offensive because they want to see the total destruction of Gaza.

Again, football is an inherently political sport.

I am aware, but again, UEFA have no place in taking a stance.

I rather suspect there will be significant internal fallout from this stunt.

Duplicate deleted.

Do you know what Zionists are?

Except when poppies aren't allowed in stadiums. Hmmm...

Poppies are allowed on kits.

Yes.

Wrong.

Many of us object to UEFA becoming political and abusing their platform to do so.

Completely unacceptable.

What a shameful thing to say.

There is no analogy to draw, and you know it.
