Missed most of the conversation about Celtic, I'm gonna read it all later. For now I'll leave this here. If the mods want this chat moved let me know where to.

So FUCKING proud of my club
What a joke UEFA is. Too bad it's only a flag, otherwise they would have called it anti-Semitic.

Israel need to shut up, they participate in Europa League, CL even in the Eurovision songfestival (don't care about it btw). But the problem is why is Israel in European competitions? They have nothing to do with Europa ... I don't hate Israeli's but it's just strange that the want to be a part of Europe.
They were expelled from AFC because of political reasons. Europe was the closest place in which they could play.

They moved to UEFA because middle eastern teams did not want to play with them. But UEFA boundaries are very weird anyway. Kazakhstan is a UEFA member for example. So are Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Which is what I've always found weird, they'll be far more likely to qualify for the world cup if they compete in Asia.

Correct. It might be that they wanted their clubs to compete in UEFA competitions. Club competitions in AFC, as you know for sure, are bad jokes. I'll watch Serie B over AFC Champions League any day.

Or that there'll be riots every other time they'll play one of their neighbours.
That would be true for Azerbaijan and Armenia, but since both of them are in UEFA, I'd say that probability is actually increased.
And honestly I don't know if Kazakhs have any regional feud with any of their neighbors.

When I was at the last world cup my friend brought a Jordanian flag to the USA vs Belgium game. It looks very, very similar to the Palestine flag. Anyway, they didn't allow him to bring in the flag into the stadium.
