The government has said it is "doing everything in our power" to overturn a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending a football match in Birmingham and is exploring what additional resources could be required.

On Thursday, Aston Villa said the city's Safety Advisory Group (SAG) decided that fans of the Israeli club should not be permitted to attend the Europa League fixture on 6 November over safety concerns.

Facing mounting pressure to resolve the situation, the government said it was working with police and exploring what additional resources are required.

Maccabi fans are some of the worst hooligans, with the added annoyance that, when hooligans usually get beaten up for doing hooligan stuff, these guys will cry antisemitism and require evac planes lmao.

Fuck them, they can stay at home
