The FA website has all the clubs and their policy on banners .. palace for example say Palace say: “Flags are permitted although we are limited on where they can be displayed in terms of space available especially in the home sections. Supporters wanting to bring a flag or banner should contact Sarah Lemon, at least 7 days before the game, by email to sarah.lemon@cpfc.co.uk, there will then be a period of consultation before a decision is given. All large flags and banners must be accompanied by a British Standards zero spread of flames fire certificate.” lot of clubs seems to have similar approval rules , though i’d imagine the clubs will somehow be using this fire certificate rule a lot in the coming weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even thinking the Met would understand racism let alone judge what is and isn't racist is rather a stretch for my mind these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 There is absolutely nothing racist about that banner. I hope plenty similar banners will appear in as many stadiums as possible, every week for as long as that murderous regime is involved in English football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we speak, they’ve probably got undercover police taking the names of dead babies and looking to infiltrate the Crystal Palace supporters’ clubs and knock out a few babies with the women folk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I've got, that's the straw to clutch at Acknowledging that you’re not putting up an argument that it is racist… I think that wearing the towels on heads thing was considered more cultural appropriation rather than racist. Fine lines, admittedly. Incidentally, Newcastle United seem to have rowed right back on that as it happens, they appear to be ambivalent on their fans playing Saudi dress up.

Either way, the businesses have the right to deny these types of things, and even if I disagree with them doing so, it's their venue, and their rules. The police being involved is absolutely outrageous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) They have bought a couple E-sports brands called ESL and Faceit. I know nothing about E-sports and that world apparently they are well known brands. Anyhow, they are also rumored to be close to a deal for Inter Milan which would be really sad. Although I guess it would mean less money for Newcastle. Edited January 25, 2022 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this will be fronted by a different person/fund, even though it all leads back to Saudi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford & Udinese has the same owners. Sure there are more examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I think Udinese are owned by the dad, Watford by the one son and the Spanish club are owned by the other son There was more fuss over RB but they played each other in the last couple of years, also Chelsea playing one of the Russian clubs caused some murmurs by UEFA but you're right same old UEFA money is the answer to every problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the info people are spreading here and all over sm gains traction, paint it any way you like, they should be getting the Chelsea treatment. Furthermore, the individuals that were obviously bribed to get the sale of Newcastle to that regime through the fit and proper shambles should be investigated and locked up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
