VARIOUS OF LION ON PLINTH 29. WIDE OF VILLA PARK STORY: No away supporters will be allowed to attend Aston Villa's home Europa League clash with Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv on November 6 after police raised public safety concerns about potential protests, the Premier League club said on Thursday (October 17). The move comes after there were protests at the Israel national team's World Cup qualifiers against Norway and Italy, with police using tear gas on protesters and pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Oslo and Udine. Villa said they were following instructions from the Safety Advisory Group (SAG), who are responsible for issuing safety certificates for games at Villa Park, based on a number of physical and safety factors. "Following a meeting this afternoon, the SAG have formally written to the club and UEFA to advise no away fans will be permitted to attend Villa Park for this fixture," Villa said in a statement. "West Midlands Police have advised the SAG that they have public safety concerns outside the stadium bowl and the ability to deal with any potential protests on the night. "The club are in continuous dialogue with Maccabi Tel Aviv and the local authorities throughout this ongoing process, with the safety of supporters attending the match and the safety of local residents at the forefront of any decision." Reuters has contacted Maccabi Tel Aviv for comment. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the announcement. "This is the wrong decision. We will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets," Starmer said on X. "The role of the police is to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation." UEFA said it wanted fans to be able to travel and support their team in a "safe, secure and welcoming environment". "(UEFA) encourages both teams and the competent authorities to agree on the implementation of appropriate measures necessary to allow this to happen," UEFA said. "In all cases, the competent local authorities remain responsible for decisions related to the safety and security of matches taking place on their territory, such decisions being determined on the basis of thorough risk assessments, which vary from match to match and take into consideration previous circumstances." Villa are third in the Europa League standings while Maccabi Tel Aviv are 30th after two rounds. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar described Villa's announcement as a "shameful decision" on X. "I call on the UK authorities to reverse this coward decision," Saar wrote. Global soccer body FIFA has faced repeated calls to act over the war in Gaza, with Palestinian officials pressing for Israel to be suspended from international football. The issue has been under review by FIFA for months, but no decision has yet been taken, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino consistently saying such matters require consensus with the confederations and must be handled with caution. Earlier this month, FIFA vice president Victor Montagliani said Israel's continued participation in international football has to be dealt with first and foremost by UEFA. UEFA appeared poised for an emergency vote on suspending Israel from European competition last month but reportedly held off on a proposed vote following the announcement of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in the region.

VIDEO SHOWS: PRESS CONFERENCE COMMENTS FROM MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, AHEAD OF PREMIER LEAGUE MATCH AWAY TO LIVERPOOL COMPLETE SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW SHOWS: MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM (OCTOBER 17, 2025) (MUTV – Must courtesy "MUTV". No resales. No monetisation.) 1. MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, SITTING DOWN AT PRESS CONFERENCE 2. WHITE FLASH 3. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, SAYING: 4. WHITE FLASH 5. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, SAYING: 6. WHITE FLASH 7. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, SAYING: 8. WHITE FLASH 9. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, SAYING: STORY: Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim welcomed the backing of co-owner Jim Ratcliffe on Friday (October 17( but said it did not ease the pressure of needing to turn around his side's fortunes quickly. Ratcliffe said during the international break that Amorim should be allowed the full three years of his contract to prove himself at Old Trafford despite a tough first year in charge. Amorim has never won back-to-back Premier League games and has only 10 wins from his first 34 in charge ahead of Sunday's clash against champions Liverpool at Anfield. That record has left him under pressure but Ratcliffe, who appointed him last year, offered some reassurance in an interview with The Times last week. "He tells me all the time, sometimes with a message after games — but you know, I know and Jim knows, that football is not like that," Amorim said in his news conference on Friday. "It is really good to hear that, I think it helps our fans understand that the leadership knows it will take a while. "But, at the same moment, I don't like that because it will give a feeling like we have time to work things out so I don't want that feeling in our club. It's good to feel the support but we need to show people we are ready to win games. I know it is going to take a while but I don't want to think like that." United are in 10th place in the table, five points behind Liverpool who have slipped to second after back-to-back Premier League defeats away to Crystal Palace and Chelsea. A 2-2 draw at Liverpool last season was arguably Amorim's most impressive result since taking charge and there have been other creditable performances against top clubs but the former Sporting coach says that exposes a mentality issue. "Maybe the expectations, when you have to win and the responsibility of winning it is so much harder," he said. "When you play in big clubs, you need to win every game. We have difficulties sometimes to play with that responsibility. Maybe when Manchester United are not expected to win, it is easier for the players to perform but we need to change that." Few will expect them to win at Anfield on Sunday for the first time since 2016 in what is the 100th clash between the old rivals at Liverpool's ground, even if Liverpool are on a run of three defeats in all competitions. Lisandro Martinez is not yet ready to return as he recovers from a knee injury while Noussair Mazraoui is doubtful. (Production: Conal Quinn)
