That didn’t minimise travel? No they moved it from turkey - initially tried to move to England but it was a non starter because of the officials issue. So it went to Portugal, one of the few places fans were allowed to travel to and would let the officials in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point about people having tickets is a good one - although that never seems to stop the authorities moving domestic games at the last minute, usually at the behest of Sky.

Normally BBC coverage is orders of magnitude better than ITV but the commentary line up of late is horrendous. Well since you mention Murphy I was going to ask a general opinion on the guy. My view is that he sends me to sleep very quickly. As for Robyn Cowen, I fall asleep before I have even woken up. They fit this incredibly lacklustre match, so far, remarkably well as it happens. Sound off and a bit of ELO. arhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go......Johnson is now saying that "sensible accommodations" can be made to allow not only UEFA officials, but also sponsors, VIPs, foreign politicians and - get this - fans of the sides in the final to avoid the UK quarantine rules. Well **** you and your rules Johnson if that goes ahead. As someone who has respected the travel and quarantine rules despite being desperate to travel (and not just for a holiday - as I've said elsewhere) that feels like a kick in the teeth right up there with Cummings' Durham trip last year.

Its a case it would be a massive embarrassment to Boris to lose the Euros final, a bigger embarrassment then allowing the concessions that UEFA ask. Its only under threat because of his **** ups with the delta variant, if we hadn't had this we'd probably be in a position where UEFA's requests wouldn't seem so bad. However as we are here, there's no difference here between the Euros final and the champions league final except the champions league we were offering to help out so rigidly stuck to our principles on people coming in whereas here Boris doesn't want to be humiliated and therefore is willing to bend over and take it from UEFA.

Kind of hoping that the travel rules are undermined by the government just so more people realise the unfairness of it all. I was talking to a Portuguese guy regarding the champions league final and it didn't go unnoticed on them that their stadiums and bars have been closed for months yet foreigners could travel in for the final and drink in bars and watch live football.

Budapest's National Stadium is the only one, i think, that has zero restriction of number of fans; it was rammed for their match earlier in the week and rightly so. 25% full at Wembley. Utter tosh as usual then make exceptions that make zero sense. Its all monty python esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
