Why Adebayor was right - Mirror Football Blog - MirrorFootball.co.uk

if y'all don't believe just go to the football thread

You're linking to an obscure blog by a dude who's a fan of the team Adebayor played for at the time.

I was watching this live and this match had huge coverage. If they were actually bananas this would get massive media attention in England at the time. Without a doubt there would be tons of articles and tabloid pieces covering the incident because it would be a pretty big deal. There isn't a single source from any news media that attests to that.

beitar ultras are a$$holes and disliked immensely in israel. they're wannabe national front hooligans still living in the european 80s and they're shameful

football in israel started on political grounds - beitar teams are right wing and hapoel teams are left wing, with maccabi teams usually centrist or apolitical (the latter of which has increased in recent years)

a match between hapoel tel aviv (far left socialist team ) and beitar jerusalem (racist right wing militant team ) is shyt is like the russian revolution out there, i don't think many derbies get as charged and tense in the stands as that one tbh

here's a maccabi haifa fan talking about games against beitar

What is politically significant in the current situation is that Maccabi Haifa is a proclaimed anti-racist team. The fans address players only on the basis of their ability as shown on the field, not according to origin, religion or color. Only according to how they play. That is especially prominent in matches against Beitar Jerusalem, which is an obviously racist team with fans who are absolutely opposed to their team having Arab players or even Moslems who are not Arabs, and they always yell very racist chants against Arab players in the opposing teams. When Beitar is playing against us and its fans voice racist insults against one of our players, we make an effort to chant stronger, to counter them and show the attacked player that we back him all the way.

There was a match at their home stadium in Jerusalem and the winning goal was scored by Mohammad Ghadir, a young and talented player for Maccabi Haifa, so we started to sing "What a goal from Mohammad" specifically to taunt the Beitar fans. What we wanted to convey was something like: "See what you are missing by being racist! Here's a good player, a talented player, if you weren't racists who hate Arabs he could have been in your team, scoring goals for you. But you're racists, so you lose!". Not that in the shouting between rival fans during or after a hot match you have the time and leisure to speak at such length.

Beitar's racism is very deep-seated. Baruch Marzel's Kahanists often come to the matches, sometimes even Marzel himself, and they distribute their pamphlets and publications at Beitar home matches, they feel that it's their home audience. Even the Kahanist colors, yellow and black, are the same colors of Beitar Jerusalem.

these idiots took notes on the national front recruiting in the terraces in england in the late 70s and 80s and just did it themselves. that right of return conundrum is an unfortunate boon to their efforts

non-beitar israelis probably hate these guys more than yall do.

but its cool in here to simplify issues by elevating or abhorring entire countries without a hint of nuance so i get it if you don't feel like learning about something tragically interesting

so 2 yellow things at a soccer game land beside a black player and you don't believe they are bananas?

Most London blacks support arsenal so they didn't make a big deal of it.

it was necessary disdain. and if i've enlightened one person today then i :inlove: myself



edit: here's a song from Hapoel Tel Aviv ultras they sing to make fun of Beitar

Put Jerusalem in Jordan
Divide it into two
Put Jerusalem in Jordan, give it to the Palestinians.
Put Jerusalem in Jordan
Give it to the Palestinians
Put Jerusalem in Jordan, in the '67 borders.
Because we don't need their stadium or Beitar
Not the Wailing Wall or the Knesset
Everything in that city is useless
Even at weddings, the floor collapses

but then again all israelis are arab-eating european demons so this can't possibly be real
