Do they do it for every team though? Or teams of a particular colour. Or teams from particular parts of the world?Oh no!! Not the humiliation of a metal detecting wand!!!![]()
Guess what? When I fly especially internationally I follow loading and unloading instructions with respect and understanding ALWAYS with no exceptions. If you look for something especially racism or things to be “offended by” you will ALWAYS find it.Do they do it for every team though? Or teams of a particular colour. Or teams from particular parts of the world?
Well i look forward to England being asked to get off the plane on the tarmac for searches. I may be wrong but i would be astounded if that was happening to all teams. I have no problems with rules and security but expect them to be applied equally. As we've seen from other messages on here, there is a lot of evidence of teams from various countries being treated differently. I'm with Ian Wright on this

YawnScummy as it is, of course it's not happening to other teams.
Anyone paying attention to the news over the last few years will know full well Trump sanctions a number of nations... meaning visas from those nations wouldn't be honoured/allowed. Somalia was one of those nations so literally nobody should've been surprised the ref was turned away.

The Trump administration indefinitely suspended immigrant visa processing from 75 countries – see which nations have been affectedwww.theguardian.com
End of the day,it's scummy but literally who thought it would be the case of "oh, make exemptions for football"?
Scotland don't appear to be on that list, but then they all wear skirts, stupid ginger wigs and stink of piss.
Are you going to any of the games Paul. Hope to see you on the Funbus next season mate.Oh no!! Not the humiliation of a metal detecting wand!!!![]()
I wanted to go to a bunch of games, no matter what teams I watched, but unfortunately FIFA and Ticketmaster have priced the normal fans out of going. Cheapest for a USA ticket is $2,200 and cheapest non USA I could find is $450. I’m not doing that.Are you going to any of the games Paul. Hope to see you on the Funbus next season mate.
