Barca v Real 26th October

[The Pontiac Bandit]

The game has been posponed due to security concerns.

 

[cooprfc]

Must be a credible terrorist threat? Maybe linked to the Catalonia independence jailings?

 

[alba73]

The Spanish fa asked the two clubs to change the fixture to Madrid

It’s obviously due to the unrest in Barcelona at the moment.

 

[uddingstonbluenose]

Is the game now being played in Madrid, with the game in March in Barcelona.

Or is that now the game totally called off?

The Spanish know how to deal with their Yessers

It has been postponed, no switch in fixtures.

 

[Ibroxkev]

I think they’re looking at rescheduling in December

Travelling to Porto via Barcelona on Wednesday

 

[StokeyBear]

I live out here and it's a war zone currently.

Quite surprised it's not bigger news, properly scary stuff at the moment.

I'm not for Catalan independence but the treatment of them by the Spanish is awful, it only goes against them. Hoping everything calms down soon but not likely. Worrying times.

Quite likely will be today and tomorrow,.

Wednesday, you should be sound mate.

I've a flight to catch Monday and I'm not too worried.

 

[StokeyBear]

Would have been some game if it wasn't called off though eh?

Real Madrid wouldn't have gotten out of Barcelona alive.

Going by what we've seen so far, Barcelona fans would likely have torched their own stadium as a protest.

I think the Camp Nou is the only bit of the city safe from being torched. Wouldn't surprise me if Espanyols ground takes a bit of a doing.

I think we could be in for a few weeks of this.

Do you mean by the police right now or more in a bigger picture sense politically-speaking?

It's not going away.

This is not a handful of mongs down George square. I walked into a demo last month. 650k people took to the streets.

Isn't that less than the average numbers for a yesser rally?

I hope it doesn't come to that, surely it would only lead to retaliation anyway?

 

[Fox & Hounds]

It’s coming here soon.

Wish our Yessers were dealt with in the same way here.

 

[Graemeh89]

The Spanish know how to deal with their Yessers

clearly they don’t.

 

[Danger Zone]

Anyone who thinks the catalans and the Scottish Nazi party are like for like either hasn’t read up on the issue or they’re a simpleton.

 

[Wang]

Bet these Catalan Separatists will still want FC Barca to play in La Liga after independence. Lol.

If it ever happens I hope the Spanish tell them to get lost.

 

[cooprfc]

It's the people here who pick sides, with this and other similar conflicts, solely because they equate it to Scottish independence that I find strange.

 

[Wazza]

The names a giveaway amigo.

Sant Andreu are a pretty left wing Club in Barcelona ain’t they? Sort of group them with Vallecano, St Pauli etc? Could easy be wrong but sure I’ve heard that.

Couldn’t agree more.

Idiotas.
