No it isn’t. It involves a lot of different and difficult risks. And, actually he has written about Israel. He wrote mere weeks ago their teams should be thrown out of football.

And not just re Israel. The blithe dismissal that it is easy to write about UAE is actually quite offensive.

I’ve written several articles on the subject of Israel and it’s in my book. And, believe me, there’s a lot of risk to writing about UAE.

Amazing how people just say these things with no knowledge.

I’m not responsible for what other people say, though. I’m only responsible for what I say.

But this isn’t saying “United” generally - it’s a specific game, where they’re not playing another United.

again, there was only one match involving Spurs being played when I posted it. That Spurs were involved is mentioned in the piece. To complain about "United" just being used there seems like extreme pedantry, because only one United could possibly be involved.

this isn't about "worthy", it's about the fact that there is only one match going on against Spurs, and they're the only team in it.

It's obvious which United it is.

Sesko put through twice, and didn't take the shot, for one

How is it disrespectful when they were the only team playing Spurs at that moment, so it is obvious which United it is?

it's not a celebration, though, so not sure how it's celebration police.

And you can still think banter is bad!

It does officially crown the champions of Europe, though. And that's actually protected by law (genuinely!) due to fall-out from the Super League

also a fair point - they've been in a CL final!

I'm literally working at the game

"Actually..."

He was a problem, though.
