Well, Stephen Bush has found a culprit for all the problems with Maccabi Tel Aviv: it's the government's fault, of course.

I actually think they handled it right. Maccabi fans aren't coming, their decision, the Government rightly tried to dispel the impression that we can't handle either a third division firm or our own citizens. It's position was that it thought we could, and was getting involved to make sure.

What's his point? That they should have foreseen the decision by the advisory group (it wasn't by the Police initially) and intervened at that point? I'm sure that would have pleased everybody.

I have a rule that most people saying "get a grip" are usually oversimplifying something.

The best part is when Bush blames police cutbacks on the current government. He's been audience captured his output is just attacking the government for not having a vision or policy that and moaning about the new Harry Potter series.
