Roma v Lille

Roma miss a pen, gets retaken due to encroachment - same taker misses again - gets retaken due to keeper off his line - the replacement taker then misses 😂


As an aside I don't think you should be able to change takers when there's a retake

Is it fair to say that Roma have a bunch of Lille-livered penalty takers????

It was pure chaos on the pitch — three penalty attempts and not a single goal! You don’t see that often, absolute comedy of errors.
 
Aston Villa have been told away fans will not be allowed to attend next month’s Europa League match against Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv at Villa Park due to safety concerns.

The Safety Advisory Group (SAG) informed Villa that no travelling supporters will be permitted at Villa Park after it was classified it as a "high risk" event.

West Midlands Police said the decision to ban away supporters was "based on current intelligence and previous incidents, including violent clashes and hate crime offences that occurred during the 2024 UEFA Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Amsterdam".

Dutch police arrested 62 people in the Netherlands' capital after disorder surrounding the match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

A Villa statement read: "Aston Villa can confirm the club has been informed that no away fans may attend the UEFA Europa League match with Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday November 6, following an instruction from the Safety Advisory Group.

"The Safety Advisory Group are responsible for issuing safety certificates for every match at Villa Park, based on a number of physical and safety factors.

"Following a meeting [on Thursday] afternoon, the SAG have formally written to the club and UEFA to advise no away fans will be permitted to attend Villa Park for this fixture.

"West Midlands Police have advised the SAG that they have public safety concerns outside the stadium bowl and the ability to deal with any potential protests on the night.

"The club are in continuous dialogue with Maccabi Tel Aviv and the local authorities throughout this ongoing process, with the safety of supporters attending the match and the safety of local residents at the forefront of any decision."

West Midlands Police said it has a strong track record of successfully policing football matches and other high-risk public events.

A spokesperson for the force said: "We are committed to delivering fair and impartial policing, while balancing the public's right to protest with our duty to ensure public safety.

"Following a thorough assessment, we have classified the upcoming Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel-Aviv fixture as high risk.

"While the safety certificate is issued by Birmingham City Council, West Midlands Police supports the decision to prohibit away supporters from attending.

"This decision is based on current intelligence and previous incidents, including violent clashes and hate crime offences that occurred during the 2024 UEFA Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Amsterdam."

I was led to believe that there weren't any no-go areas in the UK?

You live and learn.

As much to do with the levels of discourse in this country and their fans tendency to march round towns being provocative

This place is broken because of a lack of middle ground, people have picked sides like its football and those in the middle are looked at like people with two heads

I think thats great, we could all do with feeling safer, which is done by not allowing people on either side of the divide whipping up hatred.

The UK doesn't need to see a repeat of Amsterdam, the reality is both side had a part to play in that and likely would again if here.

Last thing the UK needs, although the decision is going to be weaponised beyond belief now anyway
