点评:Came today to support Dulwich Hamlet Women’s Reserves in the final against Clapton Community Football Club Women’s First team, being played at Maidstone United owned Gallagher stadium as a neutral venue. Both teams are from clubs with long entrenched left of centre campaigning supporters and histories. Banners, flags, musical instruments and a lot more have been commonplace for decades. Clapton were 2:0 up after about 20 minutes when a representative of Maidstone Utd announced that stadium management would not allow the final to continue while a Clapton fan was waving a Palestine flag and that Dulwich were displaying a ‘Stop the Genocide’ banner. Both groups of supporters refused. The clubs were told they could continue behind closed doors or abandon the game. Clapton decided to abandon. The league have voided the final, refused a replay or to award it to either finalist, both of whom will suffer an FA disciplinary process.
The oversensitive Maidstone rep ruined the day for everyone. Difficult to guess their problem, possibly a mixture of antipathy and pre-emptying a likely non-existent legal issue.
翻译:今天来支持达利奇哈姆雷特女子预备队,他们将在决赛中对阵克拉普顿社区足球俱乐部女子一线队。决赛将在梅德斯通联队旗下的加拉格尔体育场举行,加拉格尔体育场是中立场地。两支球队都来自长期支持中左翼运动的俱乐部,并且有着悠久的历史。几十年来,横幅、旗帜、乐器等等早已司空见惯。克拉普顿队在比赛进行约20分钟时以2比0领先,但梅德斯通联队的一名代表宣布,体育场管理层不允许决赛继续进行,因为当时一名克拉普顿球迷挥舞着巴勒斯坦国旗,而达利奇队则举着“停止种族灭绝”的横幅。两队球迷都拒绝了。两队被告知,他们可以继续空场比赛,也可以放弃比赛。克拉普顿队决定放弃比赛。足协宣布决赛无效,拒绝重赛,也拒绝将比赛判给任何一支决赛队伍,这两支队伍都将接受英足总的纪律处分。
这位过于敏感的梅德斯通队代表毁了所有人的好心情。很难猜测他们的问题,可能是反感和预先解决可能不存在的法律问题的混合体。
